july 3rd 2014 Depeche Mode /dɪˌpɛʃˈmoʊd/ are an English electronic band that formed in Basildon, Essex in 1980. The group consists of founders Dave Gahan (lead vocals), Martin Gore (guitar, keyboards, vocals), and Andy Fletcher (keyboards). Depeche Mode released their debut album Speak & Spell in 1981, bringing the band onto the British new wave scene. Original band member Vince Clarke (keyboards, guitar), left the band after the release of the album, leaving the band as a trio to record A Broken Frame, released the following year. Gore took over the lead songwriting duties and, later in 1982, Alan Wilder (keyboards, drums, bass guitar) officially joined the band to fill Clarke's spot, establishing a line up that would continue for the next 13 years. Depeche Mode have been a trio again since 1995, when Wilder left. The band's last albums of the 1980s, Black Celebration and Music for the Masses, established them as a dominant force on the mainstream electronic music scene. A highlight of this era was the band's 1988 concert at the Pasadena Rose Bowl, where they drew a crowd in excess of 60,000 people. In the new decade, Depeche Mode released Violator, a mainstream success. The subsequent album, Songs of Faith and Devotion, and the supporting Devotional Tour exacerbated tensions within the band to the point where Alan Wilder quit in 1995, leading to intense media and fan speculation that the band would split. Now a trio once again, the band released Ultra in 1997, recorded at the height of Gahan's near-fatal drug abuse, Gore's alcoholism and seizures, and Fletcher's depression. The release of Exciter confirmed Depeche Mode's willingness to remain together, the subsequent, and very successful, Exciter Tour being their first tour in support of an original album in eight years since the Devotional Tour, although the band had toured in 1998 to support The Singles 86–98 compilation album. Витоки Depeche Mode простежуються з 1977 року, коли Вінс Кларк та Ендрю Флетчер створили гурт No Romance in China[6], в якому Вінс був вокалістом та гітаристом, а Ендрю — басистом. 1978 року Кларк грав у гурті The Plan разом зі своїм шкільним приятелем Робертом Марлоу (англ. Robert Marlow), який був вокалістом, а Кларк — гітаристом та клавішником[7]. У цей самий час, у 1978—1979 роках, Мартін Гор як гітарист брав участь в акустичному дуеті Norman and The Worms разом зі своїм шкільним другом Філіпом Бердеттом (англ. Philip Burdett), який останнім часом є фолк-співаком[8]. 1979 року Марлоу, Гор, Кларк і їхній приятель Пол Редмонд (англ. Paul Redmond) організували гурт The French Look: Марлоу — вокал/клавішні, Гор — гітара, Кларк та Редмонд — клавішні. Приблизно через рік, у березні 1980-го, Кларк, Гор і Флетчер створили новий гурт Composition of Sound, в якому Кларк був вокалістом та гітаристом, Гор — клавішником, а Флетчер — басистом. The French Look та Composition of Sound одного разу виступили спільно на концерті в червні 1980 року в молодіжному клубі школи Св. Миколая (англ. St. Nicholas School Youth Club) в місті Саутенд-он-Сі (англ. Southend-on-Sea), Ессекс. Незабаром після утворення Composition of Sound Кларк та Флетчер перейшли на синтезатори, заробляючи гроші на їх придбання випадковими заробітками або займаючи інструменти у друзів. Девід Гаан приєднався до гурту 1980 року, після того як Вінс Кларк почув його проникливе виконання пісні Девіда Боуї (англ. David Bowie) «Heroes» на одному з місцевих концертів[9]. Нову назву було взято у французького журналу мод Dépêche Mode, яке перекладається як «Новинки моди», «Вісник моди» або «Останні вісті моди», однак назву часто перекладають неправильно: як «Швидка мода», через плутанину з французьким дієсловом se dépêcher (поспішати)[
