Reverting

Recently I’ve been resurrecting, and in some cases re-buying on CD, some of the music I used to listen to a lot. One example of this has been the older stuff by Depeche Mode, who for a long time were one of my favourite bands.

Last week I finally got round to re-buying “Black Celebration” and “Violator“, which were the albums I used to love the most. And they’re still grand.

“Black Celebration” in particular is just a fantastic album, with a rather darker tinge than most of their other early stuff – and funny enough a trait that was revisited in some ways for “Violator”. It’s been fantastic hearing them again – and of course I’ve now got them as MP3s too, so I can listen to them wherever.
