Delta Machine will be released as a standard and deluxe set - the standard version includes 13 songs; the deluxe version includes a bonus disc with four extra songs. The tracklisting for both versions plus the "Heaven" maxi-single is posted below.
Martin Gore and Dave Gahan have previously commented on the sound of Delta Machine - Gore said it is musically similar to Violator and Songs Of Faith and Devotion, while Gahan previously commented that the album has a soulful, sort of live vibe. Both Gore and Gahan have issued further comments about Delta Machine:
Gore: “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.”
Gahan: “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.”
Depeche Mode kick off their world tour on May 7th in Tel Aviv. Though dates for the North American leg have not yet been revealed, Depeche Mode have indicated the dates will be announced in the coming weeks.
Additionally, a new book about Depeche Mode titled Monument will be released in April in Germany. The book is a comprehensive look at the band and includes a full gigography, unpublished photos, and interviews.
