Biography

The original line-up of Depeche Mode - Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andrew Fletcher and Vince Clarke - was formed after all the musicians played in various groups in 70's together or separately: No Romance In China, The Plan, Norman And The Worm, The French Look and, the last one, Composition Of Sound. When the artists used the idea to try Gahan on lead vocals, they called their collective Depeche Mode under the influence of inspiration. However, in 1981, soon after the release of the debut disc Speak & Spell, Clarke left the band. He continued as the part of projects Yazoo and Erasure. As Clarke was the author of the majority of the songs of Depeche Mode, Gore and Gahan changed him in this respect. They proved to be good authors on the electronica album A Broken Frame, which saw light only a year after the debut. The success of this dance work with electronic sound was strengthened by the international tour. Alan Wilder entered the band as the new keyboardist.
