Let me show you the world in my eyes

Depeche Mode is an English band, founded in 1980, originally from the town of Basildon. They are one of the most enduring and successful bands to have emerged during the new wave/new romantic era. As of 2006, it was estimated that Depeche Mode had sold over 91 million records (56 million albums / 35 million singles) worldwide and have had 44 songs in the UK singles chart.
The original line-up was Dave Gahan, Martin L. Gore, Andy Fletcher and Vince Clarke. Clarke left in December 1981 and later went on to form Yazoo, The Assembly and most successfully Erasure.

Clarke's replacement, Alan Wilder joined the group initially in January 1982 as a live keyboardist but became an official member in December 1982. He left mid-1995 to fully concentrate on his Recoil project.

The band have been highly influential in the electronic music scene, in part due to their innovative work, recording techniques and use of sampling. Their landmark album is arguably 1990's Violator, which reached the #2 position in the UK, #7 in the US, and sold over 8 million copies worldwide. (read more)

Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence 

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Enjoy The Silence Lyrics

Ci sarebbe da correggere l'informazione (errata) sulla release di Personal Jesus, avvenuta nell'89 e non nell'87, alcuni mesi prima dell'immenso Violator.
Quanto ai DM, non ci sono parole: semplicemente immensi.
