If Ultra was Argentinean?
Checked out this album today and its fantastic. Reminds me a lot of Ultra because of its synthy-trip hop feel. The vocals are also pretty similar, just the language is different. Those who have listened to both am i right, wrong, none of the above?
If Depeche Mode did a set of "obscure" gigs
Last night, the Pet Shop Boys gave the last of 5 shows at the London Electric Ballroom. The unique and special thing about these gigs is that they only performed obscure tracks from their vast catalogue: b-sides, deep cuts, fan favourites and even an unreleased track.
I've got to say, that was a genius idea and honestly, as a die-hard Depeche Mode fan, I think it would be great if the band did something like this, either a couple gigs somewhere in the US or Europe, or a small tour even.
Let's pretend the chances of that happening are very high, what would your setlist be? (It can include track rotations)
My personal selection would go like this:
- Intro
- Newborn
- Only When I Lose Myself
- Surrender
- Happens All The Time
- Something to Do
- Lie to Me - Nothing
- Clean
- Sea of Sin
- Always (*)
- The Bottom Line (*)
- The Sweetest Perfection (*) - Breathe (*)
- The Child Inside (*)
- Fail (*)
- Damaged People (*) - I Want It All
- In Sympathy - Poorman
- Broken
- Rush
- New Dress
- Here Is The House - Soothe My Soul
- Should Be Higher - My Joy
Encore:
18. Dressed In Black (*)
- It Doesn't Matter Two (*)
- It Doesn't Matter (*)
19. Alone
20. The Sun & The Rainfall
21. Photographic
22. In The End
23. The Darkest Star
