Para 1996, la salud de Dave se deterioraba cada vez más; un año atrás ya habia intentado suicidarse; esto hacía que Martin considerará deshacer definitivamente la banda ya que durante repetidas veces, Dave practicamente grababa mal o no grababa sus partes; Martin, que ya tenía un número de canciones escritas consideró incluirlas como material solista; sin embargo Dave ingresa a un programa de rehabilitación para combatir su adicción a la heroina.
Poco después con un Gahan rehabilitado, y con las sesiones hechas con el productor Tim Simenon; “Ultra” (#1) es editado en 1997 y llega al puesto 5 en el chart americano; previamente los sencillos “Barrel of a Gun” (#4) e “Is No Good” (#5) hacen sus apariciones en los charts. En America, “Home” (#23) y “Useless” (#28) aparecen como un sencillo doble.
Al año siguiente Mute decide editar un nuevo compilatorio; “Singles 86<98″ (#5) que continua la línea del original “81-85″, pero esta vez estaba editado en formato doble e incluía un tema grabado durante las sesiones de “Ultra”; “Only When I Lose Myself” llegaría al puesto #17. No pasaria mucho y se decide re-editar el “Singles 81>85″ con nueva prsentación, remasterizado y dos bonus tracks: “Photographic” (la versión del LP “Some Bizzare” ) y “Just Can’t Get Enough” [Schizo Mix].
Entrado el nuevo milenio, la banda, con la ayuda de Tim Bell como productor, consigue editar en mayo del 2001 “Exciter” (#9) que en sólo una semana vendió 115,000 copias. Durante este año se extraerían 3 sencillos del nuevo álbum: “Dream On” (#6), “I Feel Loved” (#12), “Freelove” (#19) y al año siguiente ” Goodnight Lovers” (#7 en Dinamarca) .
El 17 de octubre del 2005 sale a la venta el álbum “Playing the Angel” (#4) que tiene como novedad temas escritos por Dave y no sólo por Martin, de este álbum se desprenden los temas “Precious” (#4), “A Pain that I’m Used to” (N/A) , “Suffer Well” (N/A) (escrita por Gahan y con música de Philpott/Eigner) y finalmente ” John the Revelator” (N/A). Para promocionar el álbum, la banda emprende su correspondiente gira mundial conocida como “Touring the Angel” en noviembre de ese año. Los 43 conciertos fueron grabados bajo el nombre de “Recording the Angel” y distribuidos en edición limitada.
En abril del 2006 aparecen versiones remasterizadas de “Speak and Spell”, “Music for the Masses” y “Violator” en Super Audio CD, DVD, con bonus tracks y videos; en octubre de ese año le tocó a “A Broken Frame”, “Some Great Reward” y “Songs of Faith and Devotion” . Un año después sería el turno de “Construction” , “Black Celebration” , “Ultra” y “Exciter”.
Durante el 2006 además de editarse el DVD/CD en vivo “Touring the Angel: Live in Milan” , se edita el recopilatorio “Best of Depeche Mode vol.1″ (N/A) presentando un nuevo tema: “Martyr” (#13) (un outtake de “Playing the Angel”) . Curiosamente este recopilatorio incluye una canción de cada álbum menos del “Black Celebration” . Después de finalizada la gira del “Touring the Angel”, Depeche Mode tomaría un largo receso.
Después de 3 años, Depeche Mode con ayuda de Ben Hiller, sacaría a la luz su última producción “Sounds of the Universe” (#2) el primer álbum editado en EMI a nivel mundial y donde nuevamente hay algunos temas compuestos por Dave Gahan. La gira correspondiente llamada “Tour of the Universe” no se hizo esperar, comenzando oficialmente el 10 de mayo de este año en el Ramat Gan Stadium de Israel y que concluirá el 10 de febrero del 2010 en Alemania. El 13 de octubre de este año tuvimos la oportunidad de disfrutarlos en la explanada del Estadio Monumental a pesar de unos aburridísimos Feedbackers como teloneros. Pero esa es sólo mi opinión.
