Podcasts about depeche mode's violator

Scott, Karl, and Trent discuss Depeche Mode's 1990 album Violator, a synth-pop smash. Featuring nine tracks of synthesizer dominant grooves, this English electronic music band created what Trent calls "a perfect album."  The trio discusses how this highly stylized exploration of the dark side of human emotion became a mainstream, chart-climbing album.  Scott says, "I think this shows a sinister, dark worldview and a yearning for some sort of intense experience that those Gen X kids had."  Still, there seems to be growing interest in this music outside the core goth audience. Trent says, "It's really this artificial world that Depeche Mode is creating and asking you to step into. It has a mechanical heartbeat that's a little alienating, a little dark. I think that is a key part of this album's aesthetic."  Tune in for more music and ideas, brought to you by onlinegreatbooks.com. 

Episode 106: Depeche Mode - Violator (1990) Part 3 The end of May is here, but the end of Brian and Sarah's Violator album analysis is not! Depeche Mode's Violator is truly one of the most important records our hosts own, and to commemorate the 30th anniversary of its release, they want to do it justice. This means our hosts get into more details and share even more memories than usual, as they make their way through the songs on the album. In addition to their own memories, though, Brian and Sarah are happy to share a voice message from a listener who also has fond recollections of Violator, and there are some new Apple Podcast reviews to read as well. Part 3 - Track by Track, Continued As mentioned previously, our hosts decided to break the song discussion up into groups of three. That means in this episode, they do get to flip the record to Side Two, and they get to talk about one single. And what a single it is! The single also has a rather iconic video to go along with it. But one of the non-singles also has a video-- and our hosts may actually have more to say about that one! They also find themselves talking about both the Pet Shop Boys and The Beloved again-- and Sarah gets payback for Brian mentioning The Mission in the previous episode, by bringing up one of her favorite bands, Crowded House. And did someone bring up the subject of posteriors again too?

I am captivated by the atmospheres on Depeche Mode's "Violator" album, so when I set out to create "Detective Undersea" I had those sounds in mind. I also wanted to explore polyrhythms, à la Jacob Collier but all I could muster was a waltz. "Detective Undersea" is experimental, yet mysteriously soothing.

The Album: Depeche Mode: Violator (1990) By the time Depeche Mode released Violator in 1990, they had already become one of the giants of the modern rock world but Violator took the group to new heights of global success. Dark and moody yet intimately dance-able, the group and their album marked a height of synth-pop’s growth across the 1980s, a zenith that would soon be eclipsed by the on-rush of grunge and competing forms of so-called “alternative” rock. Violator was the pick of guest Hua Hsu, staff writer at the New Yorker and English professor at Vassar College. For him, Violator was part of a soundscape of growing up in the Bay Area, least of all as an Asian American. As he and Oliver (flying solo this week) discuss, modern rock became a soundtrack for a generation of Asian American youth, at least those growing up in West Coast suburbs for whom songs centered on alienation and otherness felt all too familiar. Besides, as Hsu notes, we all had piano lessons so a music built around synthesizers was an easy sell.

Then he explains how he got to experience the band's breakout success while interning at his favorite radio station. Then we get into a bunch of detail about loving this album with the track by track review!

On this week's installment Dana and Reuben complain about adulting.  Dana fangirls over a couple of local concert announcements. Reuben listens to Depeche Mode's Violator for the first time.  The pair mocks the Fyre Festival, and lots of TV talk happens after said mockery.  Reuben still can't distinguish between Skeet Ulrich and Ethan Hawk, and then admits he confused Brian Dennehy and Jonathan Demme (RIP) for years.  Reuben also tells two humiliating tales that bring about nothing but laughter at his own expense.  The duo also drop some hints at some awesomeness to come.  Dana pees a bit when a special guest wanders into the Hoodcave.  Plus, they've got some fan voicemail to share!  Find the Poppers on:  Facebook.com/PopGoulash Twitter: @PopGoulash Instagram: Pop_goulash_reuben Email: popgoulash42@gmail.comPhone: 224-325-4235
