Dan Violator is a tremendous album. I was given a tour of the The Church Studio in Crouch End where it was recorded.
apyssjw Dan is that the mute studio mentioned in the album’s Wikipedia page, or something else. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violator_(album)
alistair Have to say Exciter is seriously underrated. Handful of excellent tracks and Mark Bell’s production is 👌
Homegrove Smallman1 no time like the present mate. Danny Tenaglia’s remix of I Feel Loved is overrated IMO. Just to get that out of the way.
Along_the_Wire Love Depeche Mode, but after Songs of Faith and Devotion, I pretty much stopped bothering. Though Songs of Faith and Devotion was a bit of a let down, but having revisited it after the last Depeche Mode thread (by the way, H), I love it.
Old-Dutch The U2 Pop tour concert at Wembley was the best concert I’ve ever been to. Absolutely incredible
LT42 Along_the_Wire Maybe now, yes, but they’re overall output since 1980 is HOF worthy. It’s written in stone.
alistair Dan Great album. The singles are amazing but so are the deeper cuts. Exit is a stand out and yes, Red Hill Mining is beautiful as is Running to stand still. Bullet and the blue sky is ferocious live. The Joshua Tree revisited gigs were great
Along_the_Wire I won’t apologise, Dan. There was fantastic music around at the time and that band/album were only interested in making money and breaking the US. Cunts.
