Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Sacred

"Sacred" Is The Fourth Track On The 1987 Album Music For The Masses By Depeche Mode. Andy Fletcher Told Képes 7 Magazine Translated From Hungarian "Sacred Is About Love About Love As A Creed." Dave Bascombe Told Vaughn George In April 2020 " Details On 'Sacred' Because I'm Never Happy With That. I Had A Monitor Mix On That Which I Think I Lost. Actually It Did Resurface Online As A Cassette Mix I Had Done And That Was Much More How It Should Have Been And I Tried Too Hard On This Mix. And I Remember Thinking "I Can't Get All These Parts" And I Remember Saying To Martin "I Think I Might Have Leave Out Some Of These Parts" And He Wasn't Happy About That. I Hadn't Mixed It Correctly And I Had Emphasised Certain Things And That Was Inexperience. I Think Now I Would Know That I Had Gone Off On A Tangent A Lot Easier. We Didn't Refer To Rough Mixes In Those Days. It Was Only After The Event When I Found This Monitor Mix That I Thought "That's What It Should Have Sounded Like". It Can't Describe Really What I Don't Like About It But It's Not As Gritty And Glam As It Should Have Been. The Monitor Mix Is The Better Mix Guys. We Probably Did It In Five Minutes." When Depeche Mode Was Interviewed About The Songs On The '101' CD For The April 1989 Issue Of French Magazine 'Best' Alan Wilder Said Translated From French "It Was Not One Of The Tracks That Worked Best On Stage. We Could Have Improved It By Working On It In The Studio But We Preferred To Mixing The Live Version Quickly Due To Wanting To Mix One Song A Day. Our Goal Was That The Live Version Matches Exactly What Was Performed At The Concert. Hearing The Audience Throughout The Songs Was Done Deliberately. We Did Not Want A Live Album Like That Of The Simple Minds For Example Which Has Been Almost Entirely Redone In The Studio. The Only Sounds Of Atmosphere That They Kept Were A Few Applauses And Some Shouts Left At The Beginnings And Ends Of The Songs. That's Not Live It's Studio-Live."
