*October 2023 (Cover, 32 pages with Depeche Mode, Calendar & CD)
The Sonic Seducer Edition with XXL wall calendar 2024 contains on the occasion of the 30th Anniversary of the over-album "Songs Of Faith And Devotion" including the story of that last long player Depeche Mode recorded with Alan Wilder, as well as an exclusive, brand new interview with Steve Lyon, the album's mixing engineer.
This issue features exclusive, stylish photos of the band in a large-format 2024 wall calendar and boasts an equally exclusive comic focusing on the classic album *Construction Time Again*. Contains hot-off-the-press info, statements, and interviews regarding the multitude of remixes for the latest album, *Memento Mori*. You can also look forward to an interview with Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Erasure, Yazoo) about his debut solo album and his early days with Depeche Mode, as well as a conversation with Forced To Mode & a closer look at the recently released 12" vinyl box sets *Sounds Of The Universe | The 12" Singles* and *Delta Machine | The 12" Singles*.
Forced To Mode is a perfect segue, as they provide another highlight of this issue with the included bonus CD. On it, the long-established and renowned Depeche Mode tribute band covers 12 tracks from the *Songs Of Love And Devotion* album, featuring both live and acoustic studio versions. The CD is rounded out by two fascinating bonus tracks—the 1993 B-sides "My Joy" and "Death’s Door"—which are almost certainly appearing as cover versions on a physical release for the very first time.
