• 11.10.2001 - Gahan's solo plans - in his own words

  As David Gahan said at press-conference in Tallinn, Estonia, "I hope to start recording in January. I have dozen songs demo’d. I wrote the songs with a friend of mine in New York - guy called Knox Chandler. We wrote all these songs together over the last year, couple of songs before that. While waiting for Martin to write some songs I decided to aid some ideas myself, and someone suggested I work with Knox. We got together and we just click together real quick. I just wanted to demo a couple of songs with him and asked for his help. After a while we sat down together, we realised that we will write songs together. It was a lot of fun, we were really enjoying doing that. His main instrument is a cello and he also plays guitar. Most of the songs we programme using Pro Tools. It’s a much looser sound than Depeche Mode. At the moment anyway I haven’t decided whom I’m gonna work with yet, but there is a couple of musicians I want use. I’m hoping that it will come out at the end of next year".
