Description: Although Gore has written almost every song in Depeche Mode's catalog since the band's second album A Broken Frame (1982), his first solo effort is an EP of remakes. Counterfeit's opening track "Compulsion" is a bouncy pop confection that wouldn't sound out of place on Speak and Spell, but he slows things down for the rest of the album, which includes material previously recorded by Sparks ("Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth") and the Comsat Angels ("Gone"). Gore's voice is only heard in a handful of Depeche tunes like "A Question of Lust" and "People Are People," but he is a much better singer than Depeche frontman David Gahan, possessing a sweet tenor that has more range than Gahan's robotic barking. Despite the wide variety of sources (the traditional "Motherless Child" is the most surprising cover here), Gore's underwhelming arrangements undermine the material, making Counterfeit sound like an album of Depeche Mode demos. But at least he is able to inject his own personality into the music, which is often quite beautiful. While not an essential purchase for the casual listener, Counterfeit is a must for Depeche Mode fans, since it allows the band's true creative mastermind to step up front for a change. William Cooper.
