2015 10th-anniversary reissue with new artwork; originally released in 2005. Down to the Bone is French musician Sylvain Chauveau's acoustic tribute to Depeche Mode, create using piano, clarinet, cello, viola, and other acoustic instruments alongside Ensemble Nocturne. The album was Chauveau's return to singing after several years exploring instrumental soundscapes, and showcases an intimate and highly personal vision of Depeche Mode's music. Pop inspiration is still there, but these pieces offer a unique, contemplative experience with a meditative, even melancholic touch. An essential album for lovers of Chauveau's minimalist works (The Black Book of Capitalism (TYPE 025CD, 2000), Nocturne Impalpable (2001)) as well as Depeche Mode's hardcore fans.
