He could straighten out and refine them to perfection. I think that Gore has some great talent, but, yes, Wilder's touch is what all of their albums since are missing...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17049504393534028361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20137589385150290.post-32603039227649664732016-08-03T01:26:33.645-07:002016-08-03T01:26:33.645-07:00I think Exciter was actually a good record though ...I think Exciter was actually a good record though often overlooked. I think it presented an interesting change in sound while still keeping an edge. The last record was not their best is putting it lightly. Sad to say I think I enjoyed the First Soulsavers with Dave more than the last DM record. In reality I think they just lost something once Andrew Wilder left. Time, drugs and fame also took their toll. No band sounds like DM not really, they have a unique sound that has never been successfully cloned. I just wish DM could get it together and sound like DM. This record sounded really stark and raw, it was not until I heard a live recording of it done in Arkiva in 2009 that they really got the sound right. Seriously, that show alone is one to seek out. Though all of their shows sound alike, that one in particular contained something special and unique I have not heard in their other recordings from that era.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20137589385150290.post-59588890948937092792016-08-02T19:36:03.737-07:002016-08-02T19:36:03.737-07:00Thanks for the Depeche Mode.
