Depeche Mode - Music For The Masses (SA)

Depeche Mode’s Music for the Masses from 1987 is where the band’s dark electronic sound became truly widescreen. Martin Gore’s songwriting is at a peak, while Dave Gahan brings real drama to “Never Let Me Down Again”, “Strangelove”, “Behind the Wheel” and “Little 15”. The production is atmospheric, melodic and built for huge spaces without losing its intimacy. Brooding but accessible, Music for the Masses helped turn Depeche Mode into a global force and remains one of their strongest albums.
