The Sonic Seducer Depeche Mode Edition with XXL wall calendar 2026, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the album "Playing The Angel," includes, among other things, the story behind Depeche Mode's first full-length album recorded with producer Ben Hillier. We also have an exclusive, brand-new interview with the man behind the mixing desk for you.
Of course, this issue again features exclusive, stylish photos of the band in a large-format 2026 wall calendar and boasts an equally exclusive comic about the "Black Celebration" album, created by Thomas Vogel and Luis Disanti. You'll also find the latest information and statements about the concert film "Depeche Mode: M," which documents the "Memento Mori" tour through three shows in Mexico City. Furthermore, you can look forward to an interview with Depeche Mode's art director, Anton Corbijn, who reveals details about the beginnings of his career and his artistic philosophy. In an interview with producer Ben Hillier, we explore how the three-album collaboration with Depeche Mode came about and why the British producer, previously more at home in the indie scene, proved to be the ideal choice for the synth-pop band.
The in-depth album feature on "Playing The Angel" focuses primarily on the atmosphere in the studio and the tensions that existed between Dave Gahan and Martin Gore after his solo album, tensions that ultimately resolved themselves amicably.
