OK, add tears for fears to this list if you must :-)

I will disagree

I'm afraid a certain commercial for a household cleaner of the same name forever ruined the first one for me.

I gotta side wit Roland Orzabal on this one.

I vote for hypothetical call-and-response mash-up of Isley and Tears for Fears. Someone make this happen!

two weeks pass...

REVIVE! NED GET MY BACK!!

(seriously, depeche mode's "shout" is like some proto-techno. it's also one of the tracks that i trot out to show that depeche mode was, like, REALLY more important than certain young 'uns seem to think, that they were more than creepy limeys in gay-looking fishnet shirts.)

They both have their joys.

oh, i like the isleys' "shout," too. another fine song ruined by overplay and by the overfondness of same by fratboy meatheads.

A word not used nearly enough in discussing Depeche Mode is "Visionary". in '87 Those guys were light years ahead of everyone except maybe New Order.

fucking incredible song. just got the 12" rio mix, with the extended bossa nova breakdown. it's lame to say it but yeah, just as ahead of its time as "i feel love" or "numbers" or something equally canonical.

the metallic percussion sounds on this is are so well programmed, i wonder who came up with them? dan or vince? anyone know what synths they were using at the time, particularly for all the drum sounds? startrekman? i know they had a moog source. at the moment i'm just obsessed with making those tiny liquid percussion sounds that are all over speak and spell (and to a lesser extent a broken frame) with the es2 on logic.
