Depeche Mode

The live recording of "Policy of Truth" captures an era when Depeche Mode was experiencing significant commercial success. Released in 1990 on their album "Violator," which is considered one of their most acclaimed works, "Policy of Truth" showcases the band's synth-pop sound infused with darker, more introspective themes. By the time of this live performance, Depeche Mode had solidified their status in the music industry, following the successful "Music for the Masses" (1987) and the popularity of tracks from "Violator," including "Enjoy the Silence" and "Personal Jesus." Interestingly, the "Violator" album marked a turning point for the band, as they began to gain more transatlantic attention, particularly in the United States. The live version of "Policy of Truth" reflects their growth as performers and the evolving complexity of their music, highlighting their ability to blend electronic sounds with emotional depth.
