Цитата:
Я о том же.
Цитата: Vancouver, GM Place on Tuesday, November 15
The cacophonous synth moanings that introduced “A Pain I’m Used To” sounded like an elephant being tortured. This was just a prelude to singer Dave Gahan’s vivid take on guitarist- songwriter Martin Gore’s minor-key explorations of his own tortured soul. Gahan, 43, was constantly on the verge of OD’ing or killing himself in the mid-’90s but looked focused and trim here in his black vest and matching trousers. With his hypnotic baritone in fine form, the tattooed frontman strutted, tap-danced, and preached with the combined vigour of Mick Jagger, Fred Astaire, and Jimmy Swaggart during “John the Revelator”. Gore, sporting green eye shadow, looked eerily at home in his fallen-angel costume complete with wings.
For “Policy of Truth”, the guitarist switched to keyboards, the same instrument as fellow founder Andrew Fletcher and touring band member Peter Gordeno. The song’s sinister ambiance was perfectly mirrored by the stage setup, with the synths on bulbous silver stands that resembled props from TRON. In the background, a large Death Star–like sphere flashed the word trueness. The group seemed more comfortable embracing an early-’80s vibe now than, say, circa 1993’s alternative-styled Songs of Faith and Devotion.
“Suffer Well”, one of three Gahan- penned tracks on the new album, translated well live, featuring a propulsive groove from touring drummer Christian Eigner. The pace slowed when Gahan went off-stage and Gore took over with mournful, soulful vocals on “Damaged People” and “Home”. After the frontman returned, the bluesy grind of “I Feel You” upped the tempo again, getting hips swivelling and hands clapping. Closing out the main set, the Violator three-pack of “World in My Eyes”, “Personal Jesus”, and “Enjoy the Silence” took the atmosphere from worshipful to ecstatic.
Anomalous choices marked the two encores. Why perform the little- known ballad “Somebody” from Some Great Reward instead of a classic number like “Master and Servant” or “Blasphemous Rumors”? “Just Can’t Get Enough” was fun, but the perky Vince Clarke–era single doesn’t really fit with today’s Mode. Still, the black-clad audience left satisfied after Gahan and Gore dueted tenderly on “Goodnight Lovers”. |

А вообще они по синтезу неслабо оторвались в Ангеле - ностальгия по беззаботности (читай: ассоциации с полным релэксом 80х), видимо, их тоже затронула. 
то бишь машины - мы и наши панцири, колбасим по кругу, догоняем по очереди, толкаемся, "целуемся" и все такое, так надо понимать. что-то от Useless есть в финале. хотя, не Антон, конечно.
