Master, Servant, and the Naked Truth: The Road to Recovery, Addiction, Redemption, and the Ultra Soul Part 2

from Disability Empowerment Now · host Keith Murfee-DeConcini

After the near-destruction of the Devotional Tour, Depeche Mode returned with Ultra—an album Keith and Alaina describe as a "masterpiece of re-emergence." In this episode, we explore the raw, "stitched-together" vocals of a recovering Dave Gahan and the spiritual songwriting of Martin Gore. From the "sleazy swag" of It’s No Good to the breathtaking maturity of The Bottom Line, we discuss how the band turned their personal darkness into a "listenable" survival guide for the soulful listener.
