Quotes

"There's been a big change in each individual member of the group which I couldn't sum up in a few sentences but particularly over the last few years, I think. Since we've got to our thirties, certain aspects of our lives have become much more important to us. We had a significant break away from each other before we started making this record, and when we came back together you could really see the changes in us."
— Alan Wilder, BONG 23[1]

"I'd like to feel that this music will lift people and make them feel better in whatever they do. I'm just trying to push myself further."
— Dave Gahan, BONG 52[2]

Flood describes the comping process employed when structuring performative musical elements into the finished product for BONG magazine, issue 22:

"A lot of times we'd have a click track or some other rhythmic foundation on the computer (sequencer) and then perhaps I'd send Alan into the studio to do real drums. We'd run through the whole song trying out different drum ideas. Out of that, we might take eight bars from one spot and four bars from another, sample it all and loop it. So we might have a whole drum track made of loops. We did the same for bass and even some of the guitars, although other things are full performances all the way through."[3]
