The first Depeche Mode album to be produced with Ben Hillier, 2005’s Playing The Angel found Dave Gahan, Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher 25 years into the band's history, breaking open new sonic terrain with a raw, grittier sound bridging the cosmic spiritual connection between the primal roots of rock and throbbing 21st century Techno dance-floors around the world. It is home to “Precious”, one of their biggest hits, as well as “Suffer Well”, “John The Revelator” and “A Pain That I’m Used To”.
