" The sweetest silence you’ll hear this year. "
A brief news item to promote the release of "Enjoy The Silence", while recapping on the Mode's recent career and hinting on the release of the "Violator" album. More worthwhile for the gorgeous band photo than the text itself.

It’s nine years now since Depeche Mode first emerged to ride the wave of the electronic pop boom of the early Eighties. Yet while their contemporaries have fallen by the wayside, the boys from Basildon have gone from strength to strength, surviving the days of teenmags and kids’ TV to become one of the most enduring groups of the last decade.

Variety is the spice of life and after the strident dancefloor high jinks of last year’s “Personal Jesus” – beating both Madonna and Prince as the best selling Warner Brothers’ 12-inch in America last year [1] – their latest single is a return to the melodic side of their nature.

“Enjoy The Silence” is smooth and soothing and comes with the by now usual number of remixes by such luminaries as Tim Simenon, Adrian Sherwood and Francois Kevorkian, famous for his work with Kraftwerk. Watch out too, for the Anton Corbijn-directed video accompanying it, filmed in Switzerland, Portugal and Balmoral Castle, the Queen’s Scottish residence. It’s a classy taster for their forthcoming album, due for release in March and with a title so exciting they’re refusing to say what it is yet. The sweetest silence you’ll hear this year.
[1] - The 12" of Personal Jesus became the best selling 12" not just of 1989 but, at time of writing, of Warner Brothers' entire history.
