| Coldplay
mentions DM |

In
their official website Coldplay , about
the recording of their new album "X
&Y" mentions DM :
"There's the same emphasis throughout
on strong songs, but the way these songs
have been treated this time round shows
a band that is growing, maturing, and
ready to try new things. The influences?
Over the past two years, the've been listening
to Kate Bush, David Bowie, Kraftwerk,
Pink Floyd, DEPECHE MODE, Neu,
Nick Drake, Eno, Jimmy Cliff, Bob Marley,
Shane McGowan - music that had little
in common except that it was based on
strong melodies and real emotions."
They
also choosed some DM videos while being
interviewed on a show on MTV , among other
videos they liked.
