‘Ultra’ is the ninth studio album by English electro pop band Depeche Mode, released in April 1997. We love to listen to our favourite albums on vinyl: there’s no sound as thrilling as the crackle as the needle finds the groove.

With Alan Wilder now gone, ULTRA is Depeche Mode’s first album as a trio. The wide dynamic range allows for seamless interplay between thick, atmospheric keyboards; snaking intertwining programming lines; and an expansive palette of guitar textures.
This is a straightforward black vinyl pressing, nothing fancy but dependable.
