Alan just got fed up after the Songs of Faith and Devotion tour when Dave was on drugs, Martin was drinking a lot, Fletch had a breakdown and he did end up doing more than his share of work. Before that it seemed that the group was pretty balanced. Martin does deserve a lot of credit for really composing these amazing songs. They were later improved but the melodies were largely developed and worked out by him as demonstrated by the demos. And I think his lyrics are often amazing.
body and soul come together is a thousand times better than colours and shapes. body and soul all goes back to the idea of the mental vs biological thing that's been so big in philosophy as opposed to colors and shapes which is basicly just filler. one is about spiritual healing through love, the other is just catchy and takes away half the meaning of the song
I don't see why everyone says that this is fake. I mean, Martin doesn't always have to sing in his tenor voice that we're used to, this was a demo to practice on.
If this demo is fake, then the Enjoy The Silence demo is fake. Now, we know that demo is real, if I'm not mistaken, the Enjoy The Silence demo was released to the public on the single (And I'm not confusing it with the Harmonium version).
Actually I was mistaken, heheh... Though there was a demo CD was released on the box set of Sounds of The Universe, and Martin's voice is very similar to here.
lo mas chingon de los demos es que los canta martin, la verdad desde los demos que son muy sencillos se nota la genialidad de don martin ademas amo esta cancion.
My son has a 103.5 fever right now and I'm taking a break from caring for him by listening to my comfort song -Shake the Disease demo, and this demo for Here is the House started playing next. This is amazying. Thanks for posting.
@scott56239 i really doubt that he "never got credit" for that. most depeche mode fans who know their shit are aware of how much and what exactly alan contibuted
@deltamode8 the fans may know, but he never got official recognition for it...that was one of the big reasons why Alan left DM in the first place. "Since joining in 1982, I have continually striven to give total energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the furthering of the group's success and in spite of a consistent imbalance in the distribution of the workload, willingly offered this...this level of input never received the respect and acknowledgement that it warrants."
Vleon1012, how you are so sure only Alan worked on this song? You think that he made all DM songs on his own? Hate when people think that he did all and don't appreciate the work of others who helped the band.Give credit to others as well.
best version

@81pluto no way, colors and shapes is just well, just gay

@RabbitPunching And "Body and Soul" doesn't? lol Besides, colours and shapes is a much more creative lyric.
81pluto 1 year ago
@81pluto ummmm...just has more meaning, but colors and shapes...well, as creative the lyric is, well, it's just jibberish.

Es curioso ver estas pre-producciones. Por supuesto que es auténtico, a ver si se cree la gente que la canción del disco no pasa por estas etapas.
Luego vienen los grandes arreglos de ALAN.
Fantásticos archivos.

@mattressjedi Alan took Martin's raw work like this and turned it into what you heard on the album...and he never got credit for that.
