I like Depech Mode very much. They are one of the best bands to survive beyond the Eighties. I have stopped following them after Ultra. New Order is another story. It is such a shame that Ian Curtis died. I think that he took the rawness and edge the band had with him. We will never know. They had started to show up on the radar somewhat right before he killed himself. They may have gone down that road of Iconists and lost most of what made them great sooner or later. We can only guess though.
