Depeche Mode is an English electronic music band formed in 1980. The group gained popularity with their debut album "Speak & Spell" in 1981 and went on to release groundbreaking albums like "Construction Time Again" and "Some Great Reward." With hits such as "Enjoy the Silence" and "Personal Jesus," they became a dominant force in mainstream electronic music. Despite facing internal tensions, the band continued to create music, releasing successful albums like "Violator" and "Songs of Faith and Devotion." Depeche Mode has sold over 100 million records worldwide, solidifying their status as one of the most commercially successful electronic bands.

The current lineup consists of Martin L. Gore on keyboards, guitar, and vocals, along with lead vocalist Dave Gahan. Former members include Vince Clarke (1980-81), Alan Wilder (1982-95), who contributed keyboards, drums, and backing vocals, and Andrew Fletcher (1980-2022) on keyboards.

Recognized by Q magazine as the most popular electronic band ever known, Depeche Mode's influence earned them a spot on VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Artists Of All Time. With fifty songs in the UK Singles Chart and thirteen top 10 albums in the UK charts, including two No. 1 debuts, Depeche Mode remains one of the world's best-selling music artists.

Vinyl Singles

Sounds Of The Universe - The 12" Singles, a deluxe collector's&nbsp;edition box set, contains seven 12" vinyl discs presenting singles - including Wrong, Peace, the double A-side Fragile Tension/Hole To Feed- alongside B-sides, remixes, dub versions and other recordings contemporaneous to Depeche Mode's 12th studio album, Sounds Of The Universe, originally released by Mute Records in April 2009.

Sounds Of The Universe | The 12" Singles offers a full range of ear-grabbing mixes - radio, club, dub and more - of Depeche Mode originals with three discs (Discs Two, Four and Seven) newly compiled for this collection, bringing together B-sides and mixes first released across CD and maxi-singles contemporaneous to the album's release.

When it came time to record the Sounds Of The Universe album, DM's classic core (Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andrew Fletcher) returned to the studio to make their second album with producer Ben Hillier, whose intuitive contributions to their previous studio album, 2005's Playing The Angel, had created new sonic possibilities for the band expanding Depeche Mode's vision and repertoire while continuing their tradition of issuing monumental 12“&nbsp;singles.
