Our Take

Depeche Mode Live On Air showcases the iconic British band at the height of their synthpop powers, serving up a delectable blend of pulsating beats and haunting melodies. Recorded during a series of live radio sessions in the 1980s, this album captures the raw energy and infectious charisma that have made Depeche Mode a perennial favourite among music aficionados. From the brooding opening notes of "Behind the Wheel" to the anthemic sing-along of "Just Can't Get Enough," this album is a masterclass in electronic excellence. The band's performance is tight and polished, with frontman Dave Gahan's distinctive baritone soaring over the swirling synths and propulsive drum machines. Tracks like "Everything Counts" and "Personal Jesus" are both dancefloor fillers and introspective ballads, showcasing Depeche Mode's uncanny ability to blend dark subject matter with irresistible hooks. The live versions included on this album are a testament to the band's prowess as a live act, with each song taking on new life in front of a raucous audience. However, for all its undeniable charm and energy, Depeche Mode Live On Air does fall short in terms of production quality. The sound can be a bit muddy at times, with some of the nuances of the band's intricate arrangements getting lost in the mix. Overall, Depeche Mode Live On Air is a must-listen for fans of electronic music and 80s nostalgia. It may not be perfect, but its raw energy and infectious spirit make it a worthy addition to any music lover's collection.
