December 7 th: A new DM album or not ? That is the question...І

- In an interview for the french magazine "Elegy" (N°13 December/January 2003), Martin talks again about the future of Depeche Mode and he is not really optimistic: "At this moment, I don't really know what the future has in store. Personally, it seems less and less sure that there is a new Depeche Mode abum...I've always been optimistic about the possibilities of a new Depeche Mode album. When Dave and I have started to work on our solo projects, the idea was that we would talk about it at the end of the year. But, now, with all I hear everywhere, he implies to such a point that he doesn't want to be part of Depeche Mode anymore, that he doesn't want my songs anymore. Well, if he doesn't want to do it anymore, he can do another thing." When the journalist says to Martin that the media may have amplified some words he says: "Oh, no, it's general. Each time Dave started to talk to the press, that's all what he said, I've read the interviews. He does not talk straight to me. He does not talk to me, he talks to the media."
- Something that is likely is that if the new songs Martin has been working on for a few weeks now are not used for a new Depeche Mode album, they will be used for a new solo album. That is a good thing !
