RE: Depeche Mode - THE INSPIRATION to Many ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC PRODUCERS (music and more inside)
I will definitely 'enjoy the silence'! an even better title than simon and garfunkel's the sounds of silence. I was in Antwerpen last week - see my latest blog post for that story - and saw a poster of Depeche mode, informing me that they are touring again. Amazing! I pointed it out to the (22 year old kid) that I was with and he had never heard of them! I myself am 35 and I believe they have been performing since before I was born. Amazing!
Btw, unfortunately the youtube video in your post does not seem to be working...
hahahaha, although the simon and garfunkel one is also a classic :)
Depeche Mode started in 1980 or 81, so just before you were born.
Hmm, the kid is not into electronic dance music I think, or maybe does not have producer friends :) I have several producer friends and they all list Depeche Mode as one of the triggers to 'start' their career when they were 10+ years old :)
The link: it works on my laptop browser! It sounds funny when playing it on my iPhone though. You tried it on smartphone? Or laptop.
I think you're right. He might not even be into music, if that's possible at all ;)
Back in 2003 a couple of fellow film students and I made a music video for a song of Depeche Mode. The assignment was to make a music video for an existing song. I think it actually was Enjoy The Silence. That might have been the first time that I heard of the band and I was 21/22 back then, haha.
I tried to play the link on my laptop. It sounds like an aquarium, gurgling and bubbling mixed with a ticking clock.
I'm a bit older so I know them from my youth/teenager years. I still remember the studio recordings of most bands aired on Top Pop and the first video clips of eg Kate Bush, Blondie and others. You do the math guessing my age :)
The real deal: So I hope this is better, selected another set at The Tube. To play all the tracks, best to hit the here word in the little line under the embedded video, it opens The Tube and plays all tracks. Also updated the link in sources at bottom to refer to this version.
