Work that closely resembles the Depeche sound. You can feel the absence of Gore. This won’t happen in the next Hourglass.

Dave Gahan: Hourglass

8 apr 12

Magnificent, perhaps better than many works with the group. Gahan shows that if he had given up drugs and contributed more to the band, things would have gone even better. No track feels out of place, everything aligns perfectly. The arrangements by Christian Eigner are spectacular, the electronics dominate majestically.

Depeche Mode: Playing the Angel

8 apr 12

With this work, we return to the Depeche sound, with few influences from Exciter. Similar to Ultra.

Depeche Mode: Speak & Spell

8 apr 12

Due to Vince Clarke's leadership, they release a predominantly dance album, featuring gems like Just Can't Get Enough and New Life. A band at its dawn.

Depeche Mode: A Broken Frame

8 apr 12

An album that doesn't stray much from the previous one, but Gore's touch starts to be felt in tracks like See You, leaning more towards synth rock than dance. It's the first transitional album.

Depeche Mode: Construction Time Again

8 apr 12

With Gore as the undisputed leader, the second transitional album arrives (which will be completed in the next one). Little accessible, some remnants of dance mixed with a dark sound. Everything Counts is an exception. Still too heterogeneous.

Depeche Mode: Black Celebration

8 apr 12

After 3 albums, Depeche reach their pure essence. Gore expresses himself at his best, composing the darkest album of the group and the first of the "magic triptych." The real Depeche starts from here.

Depeche Mode: Music for the Masses

8 apr 12

The first of the two true masterpieces of the band: the sound has now become a trademark signed by Gore, the album is more balanced and homogeneous and slightly more accessible. One step away from perfection.

Depeche Mode: Songs of Faith and Devotion

8 apr 12

Album that arrives in a tough period for the band, amidst struggles with drug addiction and conflicts. The electronics almost completely disappear to make way for a dark rock sound. Another great work.

Depeche Mode: Ultra

8 apr 12

Still amidst issues (it seemed they should have resolved), Ultra embodies the essence of Depeche: it blends the synth rock sound of the "trilogy" with the rock of its predecessor. However, something is missing to define it as a masterpiece.

Depeche Mode: Exciter

8 apr 12

Overcoming internal issues, Depeche return to producing an entirely electronic album. The sounds heavily diverge from those of their best works, blending the dance elements of their earlier releases with a chillout spirit never heard before. An album that breaks the Depeche mold.

Depeche Mode: Violator

8 apr 12

One word: perfect. Their best album, a blend of the dark sounds of Black Celebration and the more "accessible" tones of Music for the Masses. The quintessential Depeche album.

Depeche Mode: Some Great Reward

8 apr 12

Here the transition process is complete and Gore has total control over the band: nonetheless, it results in a work that is still mixed, between synth pop tracks and mood ballads (the first and last album by Depeche to contain them). The peak will come a few years later.

Depeche Mode: Sounds of the Universe

8 apr 12

Another album branded Gore, which represents an innovation as there is something different from the previous ones. After years of activity, the band still knows how to innovate. It can be classified between Violator and SOFAD.
