Digipak edition of the 2007 sophomore solo album from the lead vocalist of Depeche Mode. Hourglass is an Electronic gem of an album that is as experimental and atmospheric as it is powerful and melodic. Although Gahan's debut album was a step away from the sound of his full-time band, Hourglass embraces the dark and moody Electronica that has made Depeche Mode worldwide superstars. Features the single 'Hourglass' plus 'Saw Something', 'A Little Lie', 'Down' and many others. The voice of a generation has come home..... Mute.

The solo debut of Depeche Mode frontman David Gahan has been a long time coming, so you'd expect the album to be brimming with messy ideas formulated while Gahan was forced to sing Vince Clarke and Martin Gore songs while his own were filed away. Yet Paper Monsters is not the wild work of someone newly liberated. These songs feel as if they were written over a short period, rather than plucked from 20-year-worth of unrecorded tunes. There are basically three types of track here: powerful Depeche-style glam ("Dirty Sticky Floors," "Bottle Living"); quiet, urban mood music ("A Little Piece," "Bitter Apple," "Stay"); and rumbling industrial tracks ("Black and Blue Again," "Hidden Houses," "Goodbye"). Lyrically autobiographical, songs deal with Gahan's trouble with relationships and intoxicants and, though they lack Gore's sense of drama and perversity, they do have a maudlin charm. --Dominic Wills
