From the french Magazine :

Bertrand Burgalat

DEPECHE MODE will be back in store in May with Exciter , eleventh studio album studio after Ultra in 1997. The album, recorded in Santa Barbara, New York and London, is being mixed now and the producing has been made by Mark Bell, the other half of the english guys from LFO and coproducer of the last two Björk albums , Homogenic and Selmasongs.
Exciter will be first preceded by a single in April, Dream On , the first since 3 years.
From what writer Martin Gore says , this album will be "always a bit dark but more refreshing ". We will pay attention to The Sweetest Condition , "a big groove with psychedelic and mysterious sounds ", When The Body Speaks, Breath, Goodnight Lovers and the single Dream On, "with very catchy beats and acoustic guitar ".
From what the singer Dave Gahan says , "the songs of the enw album could have been tracks of Depeche mode written druing their whole career. It's quite like a Greatest Hits of songs never released". And that's the founder of the label Tricatel, Bertrand Burgalat himself , who's been asked to remix one of tracks of Exciter, Reminiscent Drive , called now D.M.
