Modus Operandum: Depeche Mode in Detroit
John McCready, Face, The, 1989
IT'S JUST after one at the best club on the planet. This is Detroits Music Institute, an all-night and most-of-the-next-day juice bar with a sound system designed so that recurring phrases like feel the music begin to make sense. House and Techno trax weave in and out of club classics like Dinosaur Ls Go Bang to make up the Saturday night soundtrack.
