Depeche mode - playing the angel
www.depechemode.com


hola... como seguidor de este fantastico grupo estoy contando las horas para la llegada de su nuevo album "playnig the angel" el 17 de octubre.

Para los conocedores de depeche, la gente que ya ha escuchado el album lo situa entre su "violator" y el "songs of faith and devotion". Un album oscuro de sonido electronico brillante en el que han vuelto a usar sintetizadores analogicos.

Ademas saldra con una version deluxe (la que me ha hecho comprar el mejor equipo 5.1 que me he podido permitir, y por el que he encontrado este fantastico foro ) con las siguientes caracterisitcas.

The album is being released as a Limited Edition package including a hybrid CD/SACD disc, as well as a feature packed DVD.

The CD/SACD will feature a standard PCM 16-bit mix, as well as Super Audio stereo and 5.1 surround mixes. The Hybrid SACD is designed to play in both CD and SACD players, as well as SACD-compatible DVD players. The 5.1 SACD Surround Sound Mix requires a Multi-Channel SACD player or compatible Surround Sound system.

The DVD will feature the entire album (every song, full length) in 24-bit DTS 5.1, 24-bit Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround as well as a 24-bit PCM Stereo mix.

Additionally, the DVD will include a making-of feature titled 'Making The Angel' as well as the video for 'Precious', both of which were directed by Uwe Flade and produced by Mark Entzelmann for Q Films. There's also an acoustic performance of 'Clean' recorded at Whitfield Street Studios in London; and a photo gallery with candid studio shots taken by Ben Hillier at the Santa Barbara/New York/London recording sessions.

The album was recorded at Sound Design (Santa Barbara), assisted by Nick Sevilla; Stratosphere Sound Studios (New York), assisted by Arjun Argerwala and Rudyard Lee Cullers; and recorded and mixed at Whitfield Street Studios (London), assisted by Devin Workman and Kt Rangnick. It was produced by Ben Hillier for 140dB, and mixed by Ben and Steve Fitzmaurice. The album was programmed by Richard Morris and Dave McCracken, the latter also playing piano on "I Want It All". The three tracks written by Dave were co-written by Christian Eigner and Andrew Phillpott, both of whom also did programming on the tracks. The rest of the album was written by Martin Gore, albeit it should be noted that "John The Revelator" was inspired by the traditional song of the same name.
