Depeche Mode is an electronic music band from the town of Basildon,
England, founded in 1980. They have been one of the longest-lived
and most successful bands to have emerged during the New Wave and
New Romantic era, though they are more akin to what was known as the
'Futurist' scene; many of their videos have been heavily rotated on
MTV. As of 2006, it is estimated that Depeche Mode has sold over 72
million albums worldwide. They have influenced many of today's
popular recording artists, in part due to their innovative work,
recording techniques and use of sampling. In their home country, the
UK, they are still thought of by some as an "Eighties band". Though
massively influential in the modern electronic dance scene, they
remain in the alternative genre.
The three current members of Depeche Mode are:
Martin Gore (primary songwriting, vocals, guitars, keyboards)
David Gahan (lead vocals, recent songwriting)
Andrew Fletcher (keyboards)
Former members include:
Alan Wilder (production, keyboards, drums, vocals, occasional
songwriting) from 1982 to 1995.
Vince Clarke (primary songwriting, keyboards), from 1980 to 1981.
