S6E285 - Depeche Mode 'Violator' with Sarah Nichols

<p>With their seventh release, 1990s '<strong>Violator</strong>', <strong>Depeche Mode</strong> completed their transformation from quirky synth-pop pioneers to international rock stars. A more stripped-down, sinister sound aided by producer <strong>Flood</strong> perfectly showcases these dark songs about guilt, salvation and obsession. It's a sound that this week's guest, poet and music lover <strong>Sarah Nichols</strong>, has kept close to her heart for over 30 years.</p> <p>Songs featured in this episode: <em>Enjoy The Silence</em> - Tori Amos; <em>Run</em> - New Order; <em>Pictures Of You</em> - The Cure; <em>Behind The Wheel (Live 1988, Pasadena CA)</em> - Depeche Mode; <em>Temptation</em> - New Order; <em>People Are People, Stripped, A Question Of Time, World In My Eyes, Sweetest Perfection</em> - Depeche Mode; <em>Personal Jesus</em> - Marilyn Manson; <em>Personal Jesus</em> - Johnny Cash; <em>Personal Jesus, Halo, Waiting For The Night, Enjoy The Silence, Policy Of Truth</em> - Depeche Mode; <em>Fascination Street</em> - The Cure; <em>Blue Dress</em> - Depeche Mode; <em>One Of These Days</em> - Pink Floyd; <em>Clean, Ghosts Again</em> - Depeche Mode</p>
