About
Depeche Mode’s ninth album was made with Dave Gahan recovering from heroin addiction. That gives context to the ragged desperation in his voice on gnarly opener “Barrel of a Gun,” but he’s controlled and persuasive on “It’s No Good”’s tense pulse, and there’s an eerie calm throughout <i>Ultra</i>. With in-house arranger Alan Wilder departing, Bomb the Bass supremo Tim Simenon arrives to apply some hip-hop gloss, particularly on the simmering electro-soul of “The Love Thieves” and the tender, orchestral “Home.”
