I have to admit, I've been thoroughly underwhelmed by my little Depeche Mode iTunes Pass purchase so far. Two songs were instantly downloaded at time of purchase with the promise of the album when released and "more". More thus far has consisted of a remix of an album track and remix of one of the bonus tracks from the boxset.
Hopefully my $18.99 is going to prove to be money well spent and I'm just being a little impatient. What I am hoping for is that they pick the boxset bonus track Ghost as one of the downloads. For the little teaser they posted does sound rather good.
Earlier this week I finally finished my slog through the first of the South By Southwest torrents. Of the 519 tracks I ended up keeping 22. The find of the torrent turned out to be a band called Low Line Caller. The song Built On Gasoline is really quite good. An 80s new wavey kind of feel, atmospheric synths with some bass work to make Simon Gallup & Peter Hook proud.
I never did the iTunes DM Pass. I guess you could say I "passed" on it.
Seriously, I think some of the extra tracks, or at least the promise of them sounded very tempting, but I decided to wait for the album and save my money towards the box set.
Oh, and put the rest of the money towards the show here on Aug 25th.
marty... yeah the extra tracks did sound promising which is why I got sucked in ;-) Hopefully there will be a lot more extras soon.
I'm listening to the latest "iTunes pass" song right now, the Miles Away/The Truth Is (Lagos Boys Choir Remix). It's INFECTIOUS - love it. I'll definitely be doing an illegal desk dance when I listen to it at the office, haha!
I'm happy with the "Pass" so far, it's a good tease . . . plus, any DM track must be mine, haha!
I can't wait until the album comes out on April 21st. It is April 21st right?
