| What's the point? Money, dosh, moolah, dinero. That's the point. SOFAD is one of the Mode's best albums to date, but capturing it from various live performances and slapping it on a CD is nothing but a lesson in corporate aggrandisement. After all, the Devotional tour that this is from used only a minimum of live instruments - the guitar and occasional drums are eclipsed by the backing tapes. DM were still primarily Mooging away at this time. '101' is a different story, because it was the zenith of their stadium career. 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion Live' is a harmless-yet-bland cash-in, and nothing more. |
