4 out of 5 stars Like It, Don't Love It.......2006-07-26

There have been many really bad tributes to Depeche Mode and this is not one of them.This is different since it is with a string quartet. The result is astounding, if you like string quartets that sound like Depeche Mode. The song selection was done rather well. Although, it seems to sound nothing like the orginal tracks. Despite that, it confirms what is often believed that Depeche Mode are much better muisicians then what they have been given credit as being.

I wonder though, do they (the string artists here) even like or listen to Depeche Mode or similar artists like New Order or even Duran Duran. This may have been mostly a marketing ploy. Either way, this falls a little flat. There are moments of altered-brilliance, but it mostly seems to inacuratly display the subtleties and true emotion of Depeche Mode.

Mostly though, this is just an album, not a Depeche Mode album, because it's not them, so don't think of it that way.

5 out of 5 stars The String Quartet Tribute to Depeche Mode ~ Buzzy LeBeau.......2005-04-17

There have been many really bad tributes to Depeche Mode and many that sound like they have been made in a basement with cheap toy keyboards and even worst vocals. Like the worst karaoke versions possible. This is a very good and different tribute album which is a string quartet that has taken Depeche Modes tracks and remade them to fit a string quartet and the result is astounding. They have picked som excellent songs to work with, i.e., In your room, people are people and many others. Yes it sounds nothing like the orginal tracks however it confirms what I have always believed that Depeche Mode are much better muisicians then what they have been given credit as being. Their songs are not simply keyboard jingles but just as complex as bands such as U2 and many other rock acts. The cover is obvious tribute to the 1990 release violator and the book-let is sparse but effective.

3 out of 5 stars Sounded rushed.......2004-07-06

Of course, it cannot be expected that String Quartet organizers actually appreciate the various artists they make "tributes" to. Its more a marketing effort or a novel approach. In any event, the DM tribute falls a little flat. There are moments of achievement, but generally the artists seem to miss the emotions and subtleties of DM.

I bought it and spun it a few times. You may want to pass.

5 out of 5 stars Gets even better with time.......2003-04-12

Yesterday I found this single in my room, and started to think how long had it been since the last time I had listened to it. And remembered how excinting it seemed to me when it was released. I also thought about the song's excellent video, arguably DM's best.
So I listened to it again. And came to undestand that this song, Barrel Of A Gun is even better with time. In 1997 it sounded edgy and strange, a rare mix of strange and disturbing sounds with heavily distorted guitars and vocal noises. Now it seems a rarity, and sadly, the kind of song that right now gets replaced by mediocre tunes like "Dream On".
Also, the Underworld Soft Mix, which is really incredible. It sounds as a cross between DM and Underworld right on, a very interesting take on the song, right there with the Zephyr Mix of In Your Room (or the Jeep Rock Mix of the same song, for that matter).
And you get Painkiller, DM's ultimate instrumental. This seven minute tune is a craft that really knocks you out.

If you only buy the best singles, this should be on the top of your list.

5 out of 5 stars Painkiller original!.......2003-03-17

If you're a true Depeche Mode fan, you probably have at least two or three remixes of Painkiller in your collection. Get the original. It is outstanding!

2 out of 5 stars GOOD SONG BUT..........2002-06-27

this is another one of those things that makes you ALMOST hate the song cause you hear 10 different versions of it and all of them have the same lyrics repeated over and over again. Not something that gets much (if any) play in my player though I do still like the original song on the CD.

5 out of 5 stars Painkiller makes it all worth it!.......1999-11-13

The original mix of Painkiller is jawdropping. You won't believe that Martin Gore constructed this song himself without any of Alan Wilder's help! One of the best electronica tracks of the 90's and the definitive Depeche instrumental.

5 out of 5 stars This is for ULTRA!.......1999-07-25

I'm so sorry that my review of ULTRA is soooo late-deal with it! Anyway, I love Depeche Mode! I love Ultra! What a great body of work! Gore is a great songwriter of dark music!-but don't be fooled children! This is more than gothic music! Gahan's edgy vocals helped bring the lyrics to life! I just can't get enough! Iam thankful that Gahan got his sh*t together! That would have been a GREAT LOSS, otherwise! I have albums Violator, Songs of Faith, Love, and Devotion, 101(double cd), and Ultra! Now, I want the Singles!!!! My only regret is that I have never seen Depeche Mode live! Maybe someday I'll get lucky! I heard that the band is sticking to small venues.-even better! Iam a Depeche Mode believer!!!!!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Nice debut........2003-01-08

Gun Barrel's a german hard rock quartet, best of which i can describe as a faster AC/DC. they sound really cool. This has some songs from their first EP and a bunch of new ones. Its got some cool slow stuff (For All like you is a really good song), and some nice epic stuff (Gate Of God, this song kicks serious ...), along with some downright fun stuff (Shut up or lose me). I had originally found out about these guys through Anime Video someone had put their song "Gate Of God" to. i could care less for the video, but that music really caught me, and i couldnt find it anywhere, and i finally got it on Amazon. It was definately worth the money.

Cologne is well known for its stalwart traditions: the carnival, Kölsch beer, the cathedral, the football team and Gun Barrel - Germany´s hardest Rock´n´Roll band! Bombard Your Soul is twelve straight heavy rock tracks with staggering riffs and ear-piercing choruses - exactly the right fuel for the scene which is totally saturated with grungy Rock and gloomy Metal. Like a mixture of Rose Tattoo, Thunderhead, AC/DC and Motörhead, the boys blow away both your speakers and the critics. German Power Rock, to the max!

4 out of 5 stars AC/DC revisited.......2006-02-12

Down and dirty. Old school. Lemmy, Motorhead and AC/DC. Remnants of Saxon. Then that last song that is a thoughtful conversation with God? Not going to save rock and roll but not hurting it. Sounds like denim and leather with ale in the vocals. You choose.

    Album Description

    Question? What connects AC/DC, Motörhead and Rose Tattoo? Of course all three bands are considered Hard Rock classics and every self-respecting rock fan has them in his or her collection. So what ...? Well, after all this time there is now a band who is prepared to lay claim to the inheritance of the above-named bands. And that's how Battle-Tested happened, Gun Barrel´s heavy rocking 2003 album. Guitarist Rolf Tanzius and rock voice Guido Feldhausen have been in the business for a long time and together with their bandmates Holger Schulz (bass) and Toni Pinciroli (drums), they celebrate a Rock'n'Roll lifestyle with less compromise than any other band in Germany. In 2001 the rockers from the Rhine released their first long player, Power-Dive, which hit the media like a ten megaton neutron bomb. Gun Barrel's timeless, raw hard rock won the band countless points in the magazines and acted as a transfusion for the genre which had been represented for so long by the aforesaid handful of bands. The time is ripe for a generous package of dirty, hardkicking sex and drugs and Rock'n'Roll!

    Album Description
