It was originally released on 28th September, 1987 by Mute Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis album is a culmination of Depeche Mode's middle-period experimentation. More informed by Goth than techno, it is still anchored by plenty of the larger-than-life-baritone melodrama so distinctive of David Gahan's vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most experimental track is \"\u003cem\u003ePimpf\u003c\/em\u003e\" - a song that heave-hoes along with the synthesized emulation of a Russian men's choir. Although nowhere near fast enough to be danceable, the commanding \"\u003cem\u003eNever Let Me Down\u003c\/em\u003e\" ranks as the best single on the track, with the most hummable \"\u003cem\u003eStrangelove\u003c\/em\u003e\" coming in at a close second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach song is a praiseworthy accomplishment, but the singles here set off the experimental tracks, making the album seem thematically schizophrenic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Legacy","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50483215106379,"sku":"372238","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Black (Reissue)","offer_id":51402067738955,"sku":"R7258-7195","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51402074194251,"sku":"R7258-5144","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/523138cf-eae7-430f-9ab5-34307b1a4cbb_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727562852","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/music-for-the-masses","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
