 Amazon.com: Black Celebration: Music: Depeche Mode   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The tracks are tastefully minimalist, yet the few sounds that dominate each song have a consuming, even overwhelming feel--like a big, heavy fl cloud that descends upon and surrounds listeners until their knees buckle from the weight.
"Black Celebration" is not quite as dark as most of the other songs on this album; but maybe it's really just that it is a declaration of the need to hang onto whatever happiness we can in the face of all-encompassing misery.
The eerie underlying synth of the first track evolves into the backdrop for the second: "Fly on the Windscreen." This is DM at their gloomiest; a pummeling bass underpins the need for human contact as a reminder that there is such a thing as life.

 Blogcritics.org: CD Review: Depeche Mode, Black Celebration
"Black Celebration" transitions into "Fly on The Windscreen — Final," which immediately tells you what it's about with the lyric, "Death is everywhere, there are flies on the windscreen for a start, reminding us we could be torn apart..."
Black Celebration would be followed by the hugely successful Music For The Masses, which is a very different album than Black Celebration, and from that point DM's music matured and moved away a bit from the darkness of Black Celebration.
Over time Black Celebration has lost a little of its appeal for me (now that I'm 37, and I first heard Black Celebration when I was 19), but it is still one of DM's finest albums.
