History Trivia / Hourglass

* SugarWiki/DevelopmentHeaven: In contrast to the likes of ''Music/SongsOfFaithAndDevotion'' and ''Music/{{Ultra}}'' a decade prior to ''Hourglass'' itself, anyway, Dave Gahan, Andrew Phillpott, and Christian Eigner all happened to produce the album with little issue or conflict, especially with there being none regarding Dave Gahan himself; and the outcome of said development that is the fully-refined product definitely shows the dynamic that was present worked out in the end.

** Spinner [[{{Unperson}} no longer exists]], but since there was a live promotional recording from November 2007 revolving around ''Hourglass'' posted on there, that means the "Live at Spinner Studio" sessions aren't accessible and pretty much don't exist either, aside from stray video rips that have been reuploaded; fans of the main group don't even know that Dave recorded something at Spinner Studio at all, because most don't even know Spinner exists in the first place and that Music/DepecheMode made an agreement with it.

* MissingEpisode: The single releases of "Kingdom" and "Saw Something", and therefore the [[BSide B-sides]] "Tomorrow" and "Love Will Love (Das Shadow's Rewerk)" were only released in regulation, meaning that the record label eventually stopped producing copies. This means that copies of the aforementioned singles are essentially impossible to find, and so are the B-sides, especially on streaming services.

* CreatorsOddball: Obviously, while it still retains the AlternativeDance sound of Music/DepecheMode, ''Hourglass'' as a whole has a dirty, inquisitive style to it that makes it sound like nothing else out of the band's prior or following work, though it's still the same general basis of being [[DarkerAndEdgier darker]] and [[HotterAndSexier sexier]] NewWaveMusic as all Depeche Mode releases do.
