Also it seems a release date has been projected, since EMI Spain stated that Mute Labels are hoping to have the album ready ‘at the end of this fiscal year’; just in time for Christmas. A tentative date of around November 25th has been communicated to retailers and media in Spain via the IFPI owned operation Promusicae (A retail newspaper/magazine). A tour would be announced in the early fall of 2008, with pre-sales in September or October. The actual tour would not start until early 2009. Lots of news, but all unconfirmed, although depeche-mode.com is known for having respected and trustworthy sources.

Wonder how Gahan feels about this or if he is even personally included. Who knows right now but we will see in the near future on what the plans are for this hopefully knock-out of an album.

Love will find
Love will find a way home
Love will find a way home
a way back home to you

Go beyond
the bounds of possibility
Time and tide
wait not for you and me

We’re poles apart
but still we are the same
we hurt ourselves
and we’ll do it again

Love will find
Love will find a way home
Love will find a way home
a way back home to you

Love will find
Love will find a way home
Love will find a way home
a way back home to you

Heaven ain’t far from where you are
Heaven ain’t far from where we are

Heaven ain’t far from where you are
Heaven ain’t far from where we are

Love will find
Love will find a way home
Love will find a way home
a way back home to you

Heaven ain’t far from where you are
Heaven ain’t far from where we are

Heaven ain’t far from where you are
Heaven ain’t far from where we are”

I’ve always loved De\Vision. Some or their songs do sound a bit… sappy at times, but their beats keep me listening to their songs over and over no matter how sappy their lyrics are. Some of my favorites are “I Regret”, “The End”, “Subtronic [Beat of Steel Remix]”, and of course “Strange Affection”. They have come so far in both looks and in style from their earlier days, though they still have a very similar style to Depeche Mode and Joy Divison. This song I actually mistook for a Depeche Mode song since the styles are that similar at times!

There are people out there stating that De\Vision have gone as far as creating rip off songs from the more widely known and one of their influential bands; Depeche Mode. Some soothsayers also state that De\Vision is a play on words from Depeche (De) and Division (Vision). I can neither conform nor deny this yet but I honestly could care less.

If the band wants to create a name by fusing two other known names and make their own, then fine. Obviously they wanted to show how much these other bands meant in their music and show some more thanks and respect then just some text under Bands Influence.

Some people can be so retarded when it comes to asinine crap as a bands NAME. If people really wish to put that kind of energy into something useful… say, their own bands’ name, then I think there could be a lot more clever and eccentric band names. Hell even some record label names could be more creative if that energy was used in a more positive manner… Retards.

This song is called “Love Will Find A Way” by of course, De\Vision. So go get the song, come back here and sing along with the lyrics! If you don’t feel like doing that then I’m going to post Madonna next week…

John the Revelator
Put him in an elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies

“John the Revelator” – Depeche Mode is one of my favorite songs off of Playing The Angel album. Not only do I enjoy this song because of the sound of the singers’ voice and catchy melody, but because of how the message can be interpreted.

There have been arguments and discussions about the songs meaning. Some say it can be related to Bush and his “warmongering” whereas others say that its meaning is hurtful toward the Christian community. If you look at it, they both are right as well as both are wrong.

For one, they are both right because both interpretations can be related to the present political and religious events. After all, this “war” is in the Middle East, but for sanity’s sake and having a disregard to get off topic, I’ll refrain from pursuing more on that particular subject.

Now, for how these are both flawed is a simple matter of what is it.. ah yes.. Common sense. It’s a song for one, and it’s industrial. SO right off the bat, 9 out of 10 times it’s going to have a slight political meaning. Just like punk does. Now for where it is flawed in being stated that this song is SOLELY political, any observant fool can hear (and see) that Bushes name is not stated nor referred.

John is.

John is apart of the Christian community. So therefore, I say again, both are correct, and both are flawed. In all reality of it all, who really should give a damn? Its music shut up and enjoy. If you can’t, then go listen to Britney Spears.

DJ Amateur night for Doom and Gloom sounded okay to go to even though I knew I was going to tear apart the transition styles of the DJ. Granted, yes, they could be decent but then again there is a reason on why the flyer said amateur.

Yes I am an amateur DJ as well. Even before I got into being a DJ I knew a 90 BPM song just doesn’t mix well with a 129 BMP song. Ever heard the saying “It’s like trying to fit a square in a circular hole”? Just throwing it out their folks.

Other than the retarded DJ’s playing what seemed to be their favorite songs in random order, the night was eventful and I came back with a few new songs that I think everyone would enjoy. Granted some were obviously not meant for the dance floor (Yet they somehow appeared there), they are great to listen to while working or just rocking out.

• Zeromancer – Doctor Online and Colonial Lover.

• Emilie Autumn isn’t dance floor spectacular but a remix of “Dead is the New Alive” by Velvet Acid Christ is.

Now for the songs that should have stayed at home.

• Razed in Black – Visions (Assamblage 23 Remix): Yes the beat is catchy but there are too many dead-spots in the beat. In turn that makes it obscenely hard for even the best dancer to move to.

• Depeche Mode – Macro: Do I really need to explain? The songs overall feel is more of a seductive and make-out tone. Part of the lyrics start off with “thundering”, “pounding”, “driving”, and here’s a big hint on why it shouldn’t be used on a dance floor “Our bodies moving with pure precision.” COME ON PEOPLE THINK!

This band is considered to be the “Glam Rock” of Nirvana but with their song, Post Blue I believe they have a taste for what can be related to industrial. It would be more geared toward that of Synth-Pop but still, the roots are there.

Most of their songs are derived from the styles of U2, Weezer, and David Bowie. The band has done a few cover songs from Depeche Mode, which is a start into getting into the whole industrial scene and the closely related styles of Synth-Pop, Dark Wave, EBM , and Gothic.

The band is comprised of a few British members but only one is a full fledged Brit. The U.K. has seen this band on tour for many years, but as far as the U.S. goes, we are sadly being missed. Soon hopefully the band will grace the U.S. with its presence and give a ‘Shock and Awe” if you will with their tell-tale rumors of a spectacular show.

I would love to see this band up close and personal to see what they really have to offer their listeners. So far they have a great sound and a pretty good group of avid listeners. Not to mention an ability, if they so choose to utilize it, to produce some very eargasmical Synth-pop.

I recommend getting their CD album Meds and rocking out to “Post Blue!”

Well that’s what I thought till I heard Atlas and Dead Stars 136 Times. YES I counted them since there is nothing else to do on a greyhound from Virginia to South Carolina… besides, it’s a shuffle.

3:28. Dangit I want a Kool badly. Though, if I didn’t have any music, I would become clinically insane and probably start throwing bits of the seat beside me at the neighboring bus riders. Especially the jerk who insists on kick the back of my seat while “pretending” to talk on the phone. An interesting tid-bit: Mellow industrial songs are great for long hauls over the whole “Rah I’m Angry” and mind numbing “bizzz beee bump bump bump” of Synth-Pop.

I’ll end this post with a note that is rather quite spectacular or completely idiotic due to the lack of sleep. Depeche Modes’ – John The Revelator song matches perfectly to the lights found on that of South Carolina’s Sheriffs vehicles. If you are ever pulled over in South Carolina by a sheriff, tell him to hold on, (politely of course people), pop in the song, and both of you can stare at the flashing lights like a moth to a flame or a raver getting a lightshow. Perhaps he’ll let you off with a warning for being so “observant”, unless you ran a stop sign two roads back. In that case, enjoy a hefty ticket.

I’ll cut this insanity short and will post more relevant information when I get to my destination since the internet keeps messing up.
