英国传奇电子乐队Depeche Mode自1980年成立至今30多年，作为Synthpop浪潮中的先驱，将Kraftwerk的先锋式电子在英国本土发扬光大。此次签约新东家后推出的全新作品《Delta Machine》，也是乐队历史上的第13张录音室大碟。 　　 　　专辑名《Delta Machine》的缩写“DM”显示了这是一张Depeche Mode式的唱片，“三角”的寓意融入了封面设计，使专辑名和乐队名上下呼应。(by xiami) 　　 　　Depeche Mode have detailed their previously announced new album, the follow up to 2009's Sounds of the Universe. Delta Machine is out on March 26 via Columbia. The first single from the record, "Heaven", will debut via video on VEVO on February 1. 　　 　　Delta Machine will be released as a standard edition as well as a deluxe edition that includes a bonus disc with four extra tracks as well as a 28-page book featuring photos by Anton Corbijn. "Heaven" will be released on disc with remixes from Matthew Dear (as Matthew Dear vs. Audion), Blawan, Owlle, and Steps to Heaven. 　　 　　Delta Machine was produced by Ben Hillier and mixed by Flood. In a press release, Martin Gore said, "Writing this album was incredibly daunting as I wanted the sound of this collection to be very modern. I want people to feel good about listening to this record, to get some kind of peace. It's just got something magical about it." Dave Gahan said, "With this release we've completely shifted our idea of how to create an album. When we hit a wall where we realize the album is beginning to sound too normal, we'll mess it up and really give it that organic Depeche Mode Sound. Delta Machine is no different, and I can’t wait for all of our fans to hear it." 　　 　　Previously, Gore said, "The music has a similar vibe to [1990's] Violator and [1993's] Songs of Faith and Devotion and I think the songs on the album are among some of the very best we've done," while Gahan said it's "not a blues record, but it definitely has a soulful vibe."
