‘Playing The Angel’ The Album
Depeche Mode return with ‘Playing The Angel’, the bands eleventh studio album. Released in the United Kingdom on October 17, 2005 by Mute Records and in the United States and Canada on October 18, 2005 by Sire Records and Reprise Records.
‘Playing The Angel’ is Depeche Mode’s first album to feature Dave Gahan as co-writer. He wrote the lyrics to ‘Suffer Well’, ‘I Want It All’ and ‘Nothing’s Impossible’, while Christian Eigner and Andrew Phillpott wrote the music. Gahan is the lead singer on all songs except for the instrumental ‘Introspectre’, and Martin Gore-sung tracks ‘Macro’ and ‘Damaged People’. Gahan also sings backing vocals on ‘Macro’, which was the first time he had sung backing on one of Gore’s songs since Violator’s ‘Sweetest Perfection’.
