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.

Rough Trade Essential

Depeche Mode 12" vinyl singles project continues with the release of Violator | The 12" Singles. A collector's edition deluxe box set, contains ten 12" vinyl discs showcasing the singles - Personal Jesus, Enjoy The Silence, Policy Of Truth, World In My Eyes - and key B-sides and mixes contemporaneous to Depeche Mode's watershed Violator album. From their earliest days as a band, Depeche Mode have championed 12" vinyl, embracing the singular power of the format and the avenues of innovation the format opened up. The 12" single allowed the band to explore new sonic possibilities while the tactile physical beauty of the packaging gave Depeche Mode room to develop a sophisticated and commanding visual aesthetic. Depeche Mode used their singles discography as a means of offering left field remixes and other delights for their fans. Violator extended Depeche Mode's increasingly mind-blowing run of 12" singles (with a virtually unprecedented number of remixes for Personal Jesus alone). Violator introduced fans to some of the most enduring songs in the Depeche Mode catalog including Enjoy The Silence, Policy Of Truth and World In My Eyes. Violator | The 12" Singles contains the original and special edition versions of each single, including the etched vinyl version of Enjoy The Silence, the blue sealed edition of World In My Eyes plus a bonus promo 12" of World In My Eyes which features exclusive rarities.
