Articolo del Mirror...
So says Dave in today's Daily Mirror:
Since he kicked his well-documented drug addiction, Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan has discovered a new creative life. While Depeche, formed in Dave’s native Basildon in 1980, remain one of the most influential and respected British bands of the last 30 years, Gahan’s solo career continues to impress with his second album, Hourglass, released this week.
“I’m using my time more usefully,” says Dave, 45. “Sometimes you just dig yourself into a hole. Digging back out again took a lot longer than expected, but I have ended up feeling better than ever.
“Making music is a lot more fun and a lot less like work now. With Depeche, it had got to the place where it was like showing up for my job. Deep down, I was looking for something different and, for a long time, I looked in all the wrong places.”
Gahan credits his family with kick-starting his new-found lust for life.
“I have a really nice life in New York with my wife and kids,” he says. “I rent a little studio nearby and get together with the guys that I co-wrote with on the album a couple of weeks every month.”
Dave has three children. There’s Jack (20) from his first marriage, stepson Jimmy (15) who is the son of his current, third, wife Jennifer, and their daughter Stella Rose (eight). So how has his past years of drug addiction affected them?
“I learn more about myself through them than anything else to be quite honest,” admits Dave. “Jack definitely saw some of the drug stuff happening. We’ve talked about it and he says, ‘You were always there for me’. It’s nice to hear. You want your kids to say that, but I knew I wasn’t. I’d physically left.
“They are wary of drugs, which is a good thing. The last thing you want to be is like your parents,” he adds laughing.
What of today’s drug damaged pop stars? Does Dave have any advise?
“I get asked a lot about Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse,” he says. “I think they are both really talented, but if you choose that road eventually you are going to be dead or in jail. I can’t imagine the exposure that those two have to go through. I just hid away. I wasn’t sociable going to parties. I was hiding away in my little flat going out at four in the morning to get a pint of milk on the Earls Court Road.
“For a time I did get lost in the fantasy of being a rock star, but you become burdened with an over-inflated ego that you can’t even share with anybody.”
Hourglass shows Dave is as frank in his music as he is in conversation.
“I have to show all sides of my character,” he agrees. “It’s also about letting go. I feel a lot more confident going back to Depeche as a result. I don’t feel like an actor acting out someone else’s feelings anymore.”
There will be another Depeche album, although following the departure of Alan Wilder, the band’s creative focus now rests with Dave and Martin Gore.
“Alan was far more important than we gave him credit for,” Dave admits. “But it took a while for that to sink in. I have a healthy competitiveness with Martin now and on the last tour I felt more comfortable onstage with him than I have in the past.
“Sharing writing credits was a major breakthrough. We pride ourselves on the fact that no one member has more control than the other. And Martin emailed me recently and said, ‘I know you’ll be asked, so tell journalists I’ve got your album and that it’s my CD of the year’.
“Believe me, coming from Martin that’s like pulling teeth. It made me feel good!”

alla fine l'ho preso
l'avevo già ascoltato una volta per intero, e confermo grossomodo le sensazioni di allora
la più bella, sotto tutti i punti di vista, mi sembra endless
pure saw something e a little lie (solo il ritornello però!
) sono pezzi di un certo spessore
kingdom m'aveva già stufato al terzo ascolto, deeper and deeper dovrebbe pigliare ma non piglia, 21 days non l'ho ancora decifrata ma ho come la sensazione che ci sia poco da decifrare
miracles, insoluble e down sono mostri cartacei ben vestiti (da philpott)
use you è il fratellastro di bottle living
olè
qualche passetto avanti il songwriting del dave l'avrà anche fatto, ma se al 6 ci si arriva, è di stima
philpott è il solito, sicuramente bravo ma un tantino algido nelle timbriche, il contributo di eigner non saprei quantificarlo perché non ho mai sentito i suoi lavori
se cambio idea riporterò

Ore 16.30 :acquisto di Hourglass versione CD+DVD, 26 e passa Euro.
Ore 17,45 :spacchettamento.
Ore 18,00 : inizio ascolto, dopo aver staccato telefoni vari.
Primo giudizio: insufficiente.
Nel complesso una accozzaglia di suoni ,a volte fastidiosi,
attorno al niente, nella speranza di mascherare una estrema
pochezza sia nella melodia che nei testi.
Come spiegare....,una impalcatura costruita su fondamenta di sabbia.
Alcune mi sono sembrate sulla falsariga di I want it all, e questo gia'
la dice tutta.
Vorrei tanto, ad ascolti successivi ( che ,quasi quasi ,mi impongo piu' per
dovere che per piacere
), poter smussare questa sensazione, ma, sinceramente,
ho dei dubbi....
Oltre Kingdom, che continua a piacermi, salverei Saw something e
A little lie.
Grande delusione da Deeper + deeper che ci avevano venduto come
chissa' cosa....
