The only one I can think of that doesn't suit his voice is 'little soul'. I personally think it would sound better with just Martin Gore singing it.

Not particularly. I think it's all sounding pretty good together, though I agree with the other poster that Little Soul is not 100% good for Gahan, but to be honest I think it's a particularly weak song. Especially in contrast to Fragile Tension before it and In Sympathy after it - the chorus vocals on In Sympathy sound particularly good with the music to these ears.

Cheers. I presume you mean sonicacademy.com - if so, I know of them but don't know them personally. I've been meaning to get involved with them but been too busy with my band and the day job of late.

i was wondering when someone was going to recognize.
this is my favorite album by them.
I enjoyed every track; both A and B side of the cassette tape :lol:
got the album last night and paged thru it.
i think it is going to be one that grows on you more as you listen to it.
overall i think the quality is better than their last few albums.

got my tickets for the Atlanta show yesterday along with Janes Addiction & NIN coming here in town this summer as well.

Janes Addiction + NIN + Depech Mode all in one summer; I feel like i am 15 all over again.
