DEPECHE MODE (original) (raw)

Depeche Mode are an English synthesizer-based outfit who formed in Basildon, Essex in 1980. Depeche Mode’s original members included keyboardist and songwriter Vince Clarke (born July 3, 1960 in South Woodford), keyboardist, singer and songwriter Martin Gore (born July 23, 1961 in Dagenham), keyboardist Andy Fletcher (born July 9, 1960 in Nottingham) and singer and songwriter Dave Gahan (born May 9, 1962 in Epping, London).

Depeche Mode made their chart debut in June 1981 with their second single New Life, however after the success of its follow-up Just Can’t Get Enough, Vince Clarke left the band at the end of 1981 for pastures new (most notably Erasure). Depeche Mode filled the Vince gap with keyboardist Alan Wilder in 1983 who stayed with the band until 1995, and they proceeded to become one of the biggest UK acts of the decade.

Their biggest song success came with the BRIT Award-winning single Enjoy The Silence in 1990, but the band have delivered more than 40 Top 40 hits on the Official Singles Chart. Depeche Mode's highest-charting singles are People Are People (1984), Barrel Of A Gun (1997) and Precious (2005), all of which peaked at Number 4.

Depeche Mode have also achieved two Number 1 albums on the UK Official Albums Chart – Songs of Faith and Devotion in 1993 and 1997’s Ultra.
