Secrets Online received an email from Q Magazine yesterday who have been busy at work putting together a collaborative special along with Mojo entitled 'Depeche Mode & The Story of Electropop' - the latest addition to their acclaimed Special Editions (the most recent being a superbly researched 2-Tone/ The Specials issue). The Electropop Special features two new features on the mighty League covering the band's entire career that includes new interviews with Philip Oakey, Martyn Ware & Ian Craig Marsh plus in-depth reviews of the albums that were instrumental in bringing this genre to a wider audience: Reproduction and Dare. Other highlights include a major new interview with the ground breaking Depeche Mode who are the cover stars along with Philip. Kraftwerk, New Order and David Bowie also take center stage in this highly promising publication whilst other acts covered include OMD, Pet Shop Boys, Ultravox, Soft Cell & Japan.
50 of the essential electronic albums and songs are reviewed and rated and this must-have special hits UK newsagents on January 14th 2005.
