Depeche Mode 101.

a true classic! imo.

My absolute favorite album of theirs (man, you really are making me miss my turntable and LP's in storage more and more . That's one of my favorite albums, period. All I have to listen to by them is a compilation CD, and I think it only has two songs from that LP. I do occasionally listen to them on Slacker, though. Still, it doesn't come close to listening on my audio system).

m'madness is the only album by them i have or have even heard. i suppose i should see if i can find some different ones, probably on cds.

I wouldn't know what order to put them in for you, but any of their first 6 albums is excellent (the 6th, "Breathless", is when they started to get more commercial-sounding, but it's still pretty good).

If you really like "Moonmadness", I suppose the next logical step would be "Rain Dances" or "Mirage" (Mirage is older than MM - "Rain Dances" newer. Actually, "Rain..." is when they started getting more commercial ("Highways of the Sun"), but it's still an extremely excellent album - has Mel Collins on sax, and they added Richard Sinclair from 'Caravan' and 'Hatfield and The North' on bass and vocals - but it all works really, really well. A couple or so slower songs there, but they're excellent and mixed in well. Definitely my second favorite).

I'd probably recommend "The Snow Goose" next, but it's not like the other albums - it's a concept album, and the music can go from more traditionally Camel-like to sounding like a lot of other Prog bands (even though all of the chord changes are still right out of the 'Camel' playbook). Probably less overall jazzy than the others, and lots of very short songs.

The first, self-titled album, from what I've heard, is very good, too (that's the only one of the first 6 studio albums that I don't have - but I hear songs from it on Slacker occasionally).

You can hear clips of most of the songs from these albums on Amazon. They sell re-mastered versions of the CD's, if you're looking to buy.

Their best album.

post bookmarked. thanks.

I know I am in the minority but I like Lizard.

The Further Adventures of Los Straitjackets....Los Straitjackets

now playing the old standby-

I love it. Kempe, Karajan, Blomstedt, Previn Philadelphia (on a German EMI redline CD from year 2000), Mehta LAPO. Kempe my favorite. I listened to it a lot today. Makes me feel like summer. I originally bought the Kempe on LP format in 1988, no going back. CD version from Strauss collection with Kempe on EMI.

Today I listened to Karajan, and Kempe.

Actually, I was listening to some of the "Snow Goose" stuff earlier tonight, and I don't know if I'd put that as a third choice. I guess it would depend on your tastes, but you might like the 1st album, and maybe even "Breathless" before that.

I would suggest both "Rain Dances" and "Mirage" first. Those two with MM in-between make a great listening trio.

got it. TY.
