Review

Rolling Stone (p.83) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "HOURGLASS goes all the way electro, filling the mix with bloopy-bleepy synth blips."
Uncut (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "HOURGLASS is more steeped in electronics, with Gahan continuing his cathartic process of confession..."

Product note

Sophomore solo effort from Depeche Mode frontman follows his 2003 debut 'Paper Monsters'. Where that album featured a heavy use of guitar in a bid to forge him an identity distinct from the band, this release is more synthesizer driven and, while the music is reminiscent of his day job, the lyrical voice - dark and anguished - is all his own. Co-produced and co-written with Gahan by Andrew Philpott and Christian Eigner ('Paper Monsters', Depeche Mode's 'Playing The Angel'), it includes the single 'Kingdom'.

Title Note

Audio Mixer: Tony Hoffer.

Recording information: 11th Floor Studios, New York, NY.

Editor: Kurt Uenala.

Photographer: Anton Corbijn.

Released in late 2007, Dave Gahan's second solo album, HOURGLASS, sounds like a companion piece to 2005's PLAYING THE ANGEL by Depeche Mode, the British vocalist's longtime band. This is no coincidence, since ANGEL marked the first time that Gahan was allowed to write his own DM songs, with the assistance of multi-instrumentalist Andrew Philpott and drummer Christian Eigner, who collaborate with the singer again on all the tracks on HOURGLASS.

Furthering ANGEL's dark, brooding mood, these songs deftly mix synth-pop and alt-rock with industrial textures, as evinced on the cavernous "Kingdom," which wonderfully utilizes Gahan's deep, resonant voice. Also moving into minimalist/ambient territory on the shimmering, David Sylvian-like "Miracles," HOURGLASS could easily be mistaken for a restless, more experimental DM outing, a concept that Gahan's fans will undoubtedly appreciate.
