After one final name change to Depeche Mode, the quartet members jettisoned all instruments excluding their synthesizers, honing a slick, techno-based sound to showcase Clarke’s catchy melodies.
Initially, Clarke handled vocal chores, but in 1980 singer David Gahan was brought in to complete the lineup. The band proved short-lived, and by 1979 Clarke had formed French Look, another duo featuring guitarist/keyboardist Martin Gore Fletcher soon signed on, and the group rechristened itself Composition of Sound. The roots of Depeche Mode date to 1976, when Basildon, England-based keyboardists Vince Clarke and Andrew Fletcher first teamed to form the group No Romance in China. One of the first acts to establish a musical identity based completely around the use of synthesizers, they began their existence as a bouncy dance-pop outfit but gradually developed a darker, more dramatic sound that ultimately positioned them as one of the most successful alternative bands of their era. Originally a product of Britain’s new romantic movement, Depeche Mode went on to become the quintessential electropop band of the 1980s.
