Pain and suffering in various tempos

So... Its been a while... But I feel that this is as good as reason as any to update with a new piece of music. As I was sitting here burning my 5.1 Mix of the Fragile to a DTS CD, My good friend Satori, over at Digital Noise popped up on aim and asked if I had heard the New Depeche Mode track from the forthcoming greatest hits compilation. I said "Nope. I havent." 3 minutes later... I was rocking out to what has got to be one of the coolest Mode tracks to come out of the Playing The Angel Era, and probably from thier entire career in general. It has everything I love about DM. Everything from the rocking electronic dance beat, to the country western blues guitar riffs that Martin has always been so very capable of pulling off. To the always borderline heretic and faith questioning lyrics....This song has it all. Other than Dave's recent obsession with growing a moustache... And beside's the Songs of Faith And Devotion Era... the music that has come from this current era, is proving to be some of my favorite. And I can only wonder what else we havent heard. It seems that Depeche Mode, Despite being in thier mid 40's, have not lost any of thier amazing talent and energy that I remember from 10 - 15 years ago when I first discovered them. Now I'm not gonna sit here and talk to you about how freaking awesome Depeche Mode is. Or how I've obsessed over this band since I was 10 years old. I'm sure most of you have heard it all before. And since this track hasnt fully sunk in yet... I think I'm simply just going to just stop typing and let the music speak for itself. (yes maybe this is cheating. Shut up. Its new Depeche Mode) So with out further adeu... (is that how you spell adeu?) (Since you suckers sapped our bandwith... heres a Megaupload link. Seriously... just read the directions. Figure out how to download it.) Depeche Mode - Martyr http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AUCNCZXQ
