New Life

New Life Generation is a German Depeche Mode tribute and cover band. It all started with the idea of producing 80s and 90s music in other styles and presenting them in a modern guise. This was also possible with the producer Doug Laurent, so some albums and remix ideas came up, which are sold under the name New Life Generation.

Antonio Sanchez is one of the most respected drummers working today. Sanchez transcends genre with the ability to literally play and adapt to any situation with virtually any ensemble.Having spent significant time with Gary Burton and roughly 13 years with Pat Metheny, Sanchez establishes his own unique voice as a drummer that while "lyrical" has the innate gift of moving from controlled sonic fury to deceptively subtle nuances that add but another layer of texture to some tunes with complex rhythmic patterns, odd time signatures but never lacking in melody and most importantly groove. While musical comparisons are inherently unfair think early Jack DeJohnette. Aside from the incredible musicianship on display from Sanchez and his top flight ensemble, the diversity in composition gives an organic life and a new dimension to the Sanchez sound most listeners are familiar with from his work with Burton and Metheny.
