Gary: [...] certainly this afternoon, the studio is absolutely crowd packed. And if you were listening earlier on in the programme, you would have heard me gave away
two pairs of tickets for the Depeche Mode concert at Hammersmith Odeon this evening. And they just popped in, halfway through the soundcheck, I believe: Andy?
Andy: Alright, that's right, yeah.
Gary: So tell us about the tour , what's it been like, man?
Andy: Really good. Really brilliant.

Andy: Y eah. Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales, all over .
Gary: What's the reaction been?
Andy: Brilliant. Y eah, really good.
Gary: Alan, the LP , I mean, you have been previewing tracks from that, obviously: what has been the reaction to that?
Alan: Very good, yeah, we're playing all of the new LP , and it's gone down really well. And then we end up with a few more well-known numbers at the end, so it's

Alan: Y eah that's right, yeah.
Gary: So what's in the pipeline, the immediate future, for the lot?
