Seen on Halo's forum ( from SweetestP) :
"We went for a meal at his local pub, and just decided to drive by his house
on the way home. As we pulled up to turn into the main road (his house was
opposite), we saw a Range Rover pull into the gates. We spotted Martin
(together with cute lil black woolly hat) and I went into Over-Mode! ...
We took two photos and asked him about plans for the new album. He said that
they may be making the album in two parts over the course of the year, with
a view to release late this year/early next year. SweetestP asked him how
the songwriting was going, and he said "not too bad", but he was looking
very tired."
so it seems there won't be any album before the end of the year or the beginning of 2001
patience...

DEPECHE MODE PROGRESS REPORT - January 26th
Martin is currently working in his home studio, song-writing, with Gareth
Jones and Paul Freegard assisting him. The band are not officially in the
studio as of yet, but we fully expect to be able to provide more
information, regarding recording plans, before too long.
So Gareth Jones seems to be the one  who will be the producer of the new DM album this is what I call a good news!!!
