is he still doing heroin? if not, i'm not interested.

dude, he's been clean since Exciter.

basically thats what his first solo album (Paper Monsters) was all about.

i didn't listen to it, because he wasn't on smack.

okay, I misread your first post.

I don't remember liking Paper Monsters that much, but then, I only listened to it once.

He still has one of the greatest voices in rock'n'roll.

Yeah, its just an OK album.

But...

...which is why I'm excited about the new album. The tracks on his myspace page sound good.

I listen to the tracks on myspace last night. damn dark DM style of course.

I can't wait till it comes out! The tracks sound nice!

is DM still together or did they split?

They haven't technically split up yet, as far as I know. From wikipedia:

In August 2007, in the midst of promotion for Dave Gahan's second solo album, Hourglass, it was announced that Depeche Mode could be heading back in studio in early 2008 to work on their upcoming twelfth studio album.

Sounds good. I thought "Playing The Angel" had some superb songs on it. The mastering was wretched though, and the SACD wasn't too much better.

I hope they don't really but i am sure not alone on this. DM is great cause when they make a sonic change they still sound like DM..good old DM.

Thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to pick that up! A few folks over at the Hoffman forums said it was the best out of all the versions. Still not great, but better then the others. I'll have to snag me a copy somewhere.

Listening to this right now, so far I really like it! Gone are the bluesy leanings he had on "Paper Monsters", in favor of a much more electronic style that ranges from the portisheadie to the skinny puppyish, and this only in the first three tracks. Some great Gahan singing, growls, and yells. Pretty damn cool.
