Depeche Mode - A New Position

Review by John Kilby

A New Position, the 1983 release from Depeche Mode, is a well-crafted album that showcases the band's unique blend of electronic and pop music. The album features ten tracks that range from upbeat dance tracks to moody ballads, all of which are anchored by the band's signature synth-driven sound.

The album opens with the pulsing rhythm of "Love, in Itself," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song's catchy chorus and driving beat make it an instant classic, and it's easy to see why it was chosen as the album's lead single.

Other standout tracks include "Pipeline," a moody instrumental that showcases the band's skill at crafting atmospheric soundscapes, and "Everything Counts," a catchy dance track that features some of the band's most memorable lyrics.
