Album Notes
Depeche Mode: David Gahan (vocals); Martin Gore (vocals, guitar, keyboards, synthesizer); Andrew Fletcher (keyboards, synthesizer). Recorded at Blackwing Studios, London, England.When pop mastermind/main songwriter Vince Clarke departed DM after the group's first album to form Yaz with Alison Moyet, it seemed like the end for the boys from Basildon, but it was really a new beginning. Martin Gore stepped forward to fill Clarke's songwriting shoes, surprising the world by taking his predecessor's catchy electro-pop approach a step further. Lighthearted delights like "A Photograph of You" and "The Meaning of Love" show Gore's mastery of breathlessly catchy popcraft and help cement the notion of early Depeche Mode as the Beach Boys of the New Romantic era. Elsewhere though, Gore ventures further afield, both lyrically and musically. "Shouldn't Have Done That" combines sociopolitical observations with uncoventional sound collage techniques a la (don't laugh) Simon & Garfunkel's "Save the Life of My Child." "Monument" and "Satellite" suggest a darker undercurrent that would soon rise to the fore of the group's sound.

I'm a big Depeche Mode fan have been for 24 yrs now! I remember this album when i was young one of the first ones i bought by them . I've collected loads of stuff by them since ! I had this album on cd 15yrs ago but that along with aload of other cds got nicked in a house break in . I've got it on record but when i saw it on here on cd for that price i thought i might as well get it ! Its a great album full of youth, very pop very synth! If you like synth music i reckon you buy a copy ! Chris
