MAXIMUM DEPECHE MODE is an audio CD book that includes bio info and portions of interviews from popular U.K. band Depeche Mode.
The pioneering synth-pop band gets the audio biography treatment with the aid of some informed journalistic commentary and vintage interview material from throughout its career. Topics include the band's early Essex years, its first successes and the departure of its main songwriter Vince Clarke, its sexy leather-clad middle period, and its later growing popularity in the U.S.
Tracklist
Depeche Mode
Depeche Mode (French for "hurried fashion") was one of the first and best of the British synth-pop bands, combining breathless, melodic pop with perky electronics. With main songwriter Vince Clarke's departure for Yaz, Martin Gore took the reigns, and the band's sound became darker and harder, though still true to their trademark synth-driven accessibility. The post-Clarke band's moody dance-pop brought Depeche Mode worldwide superstardom in the second half of the '80s. The band survived overexposure, drug problems, and all the other traditional rock-star travails, and came out older and wiser, entering the 2000s as a fully functioning, mature unit.
