Depeche Mode Playing The Angel (CD)

Released in 2005, Playing The Angel marked a new creative era for Depeche Mode, produced for the first time with Ben Hillier. Twenty-five years into their career, Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, and Andrew Fletcher broke open new sonic ground with a rawer, grittier sound that fused the primal roots of rock with the pulse of 21st-century techno.

The album includes some of the bands most enduring songs, including the hit single Precious, as well as fan favorites Suffer Well, John The Revelator, and A Pain That Im Used To. A darker, edgier statement, Playing The Angel cemented Depeche Modes place as electronic pioneers still pushing their boundaries decades into their career.
