About Depeche Mode
Depeche Mode formed in Basildon, Essex, in 1980. Vince Clarke wrote most of the debut album, Speak & Spell, including 'Just Can't Get Enough', then left to start Yazoo, and Martin Gore took over as principal songwriter. With Alan Wilder adding production depth, the band moved from bouncy synth-pop toward heavier, darker industrial textures through the mid-1980s.
Music for the Masses and its tour, documented in the D.A. Pennebaker film 101, turned them into an arena act in America. Violator, with 'Personal Jesus' and 'Enjoy the Silence', followed in 1990. Wilder left in 1995 and Andy Fletcher died in 2022, leaving Gahan and Gore to carry on as a duo.
