2016-01-25 The RobCast, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Notes
American author and pastor Rob Bell has interviewed Martin Gore for an entire hour, at Martin Gore's studio in his home in Santa Barbara. The interview was probably recorded just a few days before. Rob boasts that this is the first ever podcast that Martin Gore has appeared on, and technically he is true, although some radio shows that Martin appeared in did upload their episodes as a podcast later on. The entire podcast can be heard and downloaded on Rob's website here, but has also been hotlinked below.
Martin is mainly asked about the early days of Depeche Mode. At the very end of the podcast, the currently most interesting question is asked:
Rob: There will be another Depeche Mode album?
Martin: We are planning a meeting in the next few weeks, and we are hoping to get started in April, I believe.
Rob: And do you have stuff swirling around in your head or in your harddrive? Do you have overall themes or ideas, or just specific little [hooks à la It's No Good]?
Martin: [...] Of course I got some songs finished and demoed, Dave's had some songs demoed, so we're in a good place, ready to get started.
We hope to have the entire interview transcribed soon, but since this interview is so long, that may take a while.
- Duration: 59:56 minutes.
