Depeche Mode's dark and menacing atmosphere, tinged with gospel sounds. Eh? Yes, Martin Gore here gets a choir out for some heartfelt singalongs as the Mode celebrate a tour of 76 dates with this squillionth release from Playing The Angel.

Like fellow electropop grandees Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode aren't content to give us a beat to dance to and some sleazy synth sounds to sex up our lives. John The Revelator takes a long hard look at prophets and organised religion in an even-handed context. The thinking man's three-minute goth-pop.

Hundreds of remixes, as we've come to expect from "singles" these days, back up the main mix along with Lilian, a track strong enough to be a single in its own right. Dave Gahan and Martin Gore will be able to relax for a few months before coming up with some new material, safe in the knowledge that they have strength in depth.
