| Enjoy The Silence (4:25) Given that the one thing we have in common with loads of artists and labels that we work with is an absolutely obsessive love of Depeche Mode (hey, one of our closest compadre’s even ran a German Depeche Mode fanzine in his teens!) - and that this is the year of the Piano and all that – you can imagine how we greeted news of this release by the wondrous Sylvain Chauveau. The fourth album proper from the Paris based Chauveau was quite evidently a labour of love to put together, a fact which marbles every aspect of this record; starting with the choked reading of 'Stripped' and ending 45 minutes later with the shuffling instrumentation and high-end clicks of 'Enjoy the Silence'. Chaveau's masterful piano is entwined throughout by Ensemble Nocturne; a classically trained 5-piece whose forlorn accompaniment nonetheless carbonates 'Down to the Bone's unvarnished predilection with enough bite to elevate well beyond the soporific foothills oft associated with such endeavours. With the whole of Depeche Mode's career to gun at, Chauveau has chosen a commendably esoteric selection-box which includes 'Home', 'Enjoy The Silence', ‘Blasphemous Rumours’, ‘Never Let Me Down’, 'Freelove' and 'Death's Door'; all given a lick of paint and presented as new. Whether you're a dedicated Depeche denizen or have never been overly fond of their oeuvre, 'Down to the Bone' provides equal delights as both a gorgeous set of stripped down 21st Century torch songs and as a tribute to these pioneering Basildon Bastards. Yes please. Boomkat try |
