Black Celebration

Description

Initially rooted in the U.K.s New Romantic movement, modern rock iconsDepeche Modefirst formed in 1980 with founding partners Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Vince Clarke, and Andrew Fletcher. Their pioneering, synthesizer-based sound became a global phenomenon that made them wildly successful electro-pop superstars who loomed as large as cult heroes as they did as commercial heavies. With an originality of vision thats only grown over time, the bands wealth of singles and signature tracks ranges from bold dance grooves to atmospheric alt-pop to dramatic, industrial flavored masterpieces.
Originally issued on Mute Records in 1984,Black Celebrationis the album whereDepeche Mode’sdefinitive darker edge sound became fully realized. Sonically, the group began slowly transitioning away from their earlier dance-pop sound on previous two releases Construction Time Again (1983) and Some Great Reward (1984). The 11-song set is an emotionally intense, anthemic masterwork that introduced the classics Stripped, A Question Of Time, Fly On The Windscreen, and the title track and catapultedDepeche Modeinto the spotlight for good.Tracks
