Spirit

Depeche Mode

A gritty, politically charged collection of industrial blues. Distorted synthesizers and soulful baritone vocals confront a world in decline.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition in 'Cover Me' from a sparse, lonely ballad into a swirling, cinematic synth-driven space odyssey.
The way the distorted, mechanical stomp of 'Where's the Revolution' demands a response from a silent room.
The haunting, stripped-back vulnerability of Martin Gore's lead vocal on the apocalyptic lullaby 'Eternal'.
