2017 Spirit (88985411xxx)

Кто нибудь знает, сколько копий альбома уже продано в мире?

Можно в википедии посмотреть,
Я сам в этом не очень разбираюсь. Примерно 198,000 копий в Польше, Германии, Венгрии, Италии и Франции (если я правильно понял). Остальные цифры либо появятся в будущем, либо вообще не появятся.

Так и не дождались желанных би-сайдов...

Depeche Mode 'Spirit' in Hollywood, roof "Dave & Buster's".

Думаю, для плаката подойдет.

The new 14th studio album of the legendary trio Depeche Mode today officially saw the light.However, many had time to evaluate it last week, when it was merged into the network by "pirates". And two days ago he widely spread through the Depeche Mode fake account on the popular music resource bandcamp. Now it is legally available.

To listen right now it can be, for example, using the Yandex service .

The record "Spirit" contains 12 new songs. The Deluxe version is supplemented with five alternative versions of album tracks. Most of them are traditionally written by the main author of the collective Martin Gore. But also vocalist Dave Gahn, whose compositions first entered the numbered album DM in 2005 (the 11th studio album "Playing the Angel"), wrote several tracks for the new longplay. There is a new CD and the joint work of both leaders of the group - the song "You Move". The first time Dave and Martin were the authors of one work on the previous CD "Delta Machine". Perhaps the song "Long Time Lie", released in a relatively calm 2013, set the mood for a new disc that comes out in a completely different news context, including the consequences of a lie that has become the norm of interaction between people and states.

Depeche Mode, a legendary, romantic English synth pop outfit, supplied a meaty set of career-spanning music to the absolute delight of a packed Rogers Arena on Oct. 25. Depeche Mode, led by energetic frontman Dave Gahan and songwriting genius Martin Gore, is a well respected institution approaching three decades of sonic output. The band’s newest record, 2017’s Spirit, marks a departure from the band’s previous trio of albums by approaching a more earthy, warm direction that invokes and ponders the political and social anxieties of the contemporary age. Seeing as Depeche Mode have not visited western Canada since 2006’s Playing the Angel, the group’s performance was nothing sort of precious.

Warpaint, an all-female Los Angeles based group, supplied a gritty, densely textured, opening set accompanied by sharp, snappy and danceable drums. With inviting, rising vocal harmonies, Warpaint enthusiastically displayed musical likeness to Depeche Mode, who are almost just as capable at deep sounding, electro rock as they are at romantic pop songs.

The material from Spirit connected instantly and effortlessly with the Vancouver audience, in large part to the ultra effective yet relatively stark and simplistic stage design and art direction. Gahan and Gore wasted no time breaking into a hypnotic groove that would last the entirety of the concert. Opening with the album opener “Going Backwards,” one of a full handful of new compositions from the new record, immediately confirmed that Depeche Mode remain forward thinking. This displayed the band in top working form. “So Much Love,” an energetic, deeper cut from Spirit, bounced with an effortless magic that immediately triggered a good 10,000 fans to optimistically dance. The song’s lyrics, so effortlessly catchy, were solidly echoed by the excited audience.

Вот бы получить Depeche Mode - Spirit [Instrumentals].
Звучало бы точно не стыдно. Не говорю и о том, что была бы возможность по другому воспринять эту музыку, и конено же прочувствовать все ее слои, как скрытые так и не очень.

Как правило такая версия альбома всплывает со временем, будем с нетерпением ждать

Не официальная как правило, а добротный бут.
