"I slowly lose myself over and over."

Depeche Mode is one of my favourite groups ever, one of those groups that I have been listening to as long as I have been interested in music. It all started with “Construction time again” some 30 years ago, I am still a huge fan.

And to this day, whenever a new Depeche Mode single has reached me, my reaction has been oh so familiar. This sense of pure joy that fills my brain, this clown-like, almost ridiculous smile on my face and this warm and wonderful feeling that fills my body.

Until now…

The new Depeche Mode single is, well I guess the word I am looking is “boring”. It is a song that just passes me by without leaving a trace. I may not feel the same following a few spins but to be honest I will have to admit that the last few Depeche Mode records have been ok rather than something that rocks my world.

“Heaven” continues that path. Unfortunately.

Depeche Mode – Heaven is found on the forthcoming record “Delta machine” scheduled to be released in 2013.
