...songs do vary quite a bit--songwriter Martin Gore is a whiz at varying themes. In one two-disc set we have: moody angst, angry angst, depressed angst, hopeless angst, lusty angst and the ever-popular violent angst. Yes, violent--most of Depeche Mode's songs are depressing, but one song, "Stripped," is fiercely so. In "Stripped," Gore seems to have taken a cue from Trent Reznor, and has penned such harsh lyrics as "Let me see you stripped down to the bone" and "Let me hear you crying just for me."

Now, 30 years after the murder, his family is attempting to fill the gap with the assistance of Clayborne Carson Jr., a Stanford University professor who edited King's papers.
