Catch Depeche Mode's Hidden Gem in Their Cinematic Masterpiece
Deppeche Mode unveils upcoming music release.
Hey there, music lover! You're in for a treat if you're a fan of Depeche Mode. These veterans of the electronic music scene have a surprise for their loyal followers in their latest concert film "Depeche Mode: M," which had its premier at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
Now, here's the juicy part: a hidden track at the film's end has fans buzzing. Initially identified as an unknown tune, it's been reported by sources such as "depechemode.de" and "Rolling Stone" that the track goes by the name "In the End." This three-minute beauty is one of four songs this band recorded during the "Memento Mori" sessions but left off the final album.
So, what's happening to the other three leftovers? Martin Gore, one half of Depeche Mode's power duo, revealed during a Q&A that "In the End" is indeed one of those unlucky omissions. He jokingly mused about the fate of the other three tracks, hinting we might get to hear more from them someday. Although nothing official has been announced yet, Sony Records has yet to comment on the potential release of these long-lost tracks as a soundtrack or otherwise.
The cinema adaptation of "Depeche Mode: M" transports you to Mexico City in 2023 and 2024, following the release of their successful album "Memento Mori." This was the first album by lead singer Dave Gahan and songwriter Martin Gore since the passing of founding member and keyboardist Andy Fletcher in May 2022 at the age of 60. Depeche Mode has been around since 1980 and has created a devoted fanbase with hits such as "Enjoy the Silence," "People are People," and "Just Can't Get Enough."
So, keep your ears open when you catch the film in theaters later this year, you just might find yourself swaying to a previously unheard Depeche Mode masterpiece!
