Format:Audio CD
Probably DM's best song in the '80s, the first single from their groundbreaking album "Black celebration" is a success from every point of view. From the operatic grandeur of the intro to the noises of exhaust gas expelled by cars, from Gahan's desperate and baritonal voice to the gloomy lyrics, from the metallic and strident noises in the background to the eery and threatening sound of the synthesizers, this is a single which marks a precise turn in DM's career. The lyrics have become deeper, the music has reached full maturity and the result is a masterpiece: it is a great acheivement not only professionally, but also emotionally. This is music that reaches for the strings of our hearts, that brings tears to the eyes not because of corny romanticism, but because of its striking beauty. Yes, beauty in sadness...
The B-Side "But not tonight" is more uplifting, but also less brilliant: rather worthwhile anyway. On the single there are also other mixes (a couple of which rather experimental and full of weird samples) which add to the value of this article.
