Depeche Mode's Violator is the sound of a synth-pop band discovering just how dark and seductive a pop single could be. First released in 1990, it is the record where their moody electronics finally met stadium-sized hooks.
By the end of the 1980s, Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Alan Wilder and Andy Fletcher had long outgrown their bright teen-pop beginnings and become brooding cult favourites. Violator pushed them further still, trimming the arrangements down to sleek, menacing essentials and turning Gore's songs about desire, faith and control into something both intimate and enormous. Working with producer Flood, the band chased space and tension rather than clutter.
The results still sound startlingly modern. "Personal Jesus" swaggers in on a stomping, bluesy guitar riff that had no business working in a synth band's hands, yet became one of their signatures. "Enjoy the Silence" is pure melancholy glide, all shimmering pads and a melody that hangs in the air long after the needle lifts. "Policy of Truth" slinks along with a knowing sneer, while "World in My Eyes" opens the album on a note of cool, whispered seduction.
Nine tracks, no wasted motion, and a mood that rewards listening from first groove to last. For anyone building a shelf of essential electronic records, Violator belongs right at the front.
