![]() Over the years I learned that DEPECHE MODE fans are always up for long debates about basically everything surrounding the band. ![]() But it was a faithful first encounter anyway. It took me another decade before I discovered you in your entire beauty, Violator. I was about six years old when these iconic images first burned itself forever in the back of my brain. The man – as I learned years later – was Dave Gahan the song, of course, Enjoy The Silence. And there was a great song that came along with these images. A man, dressed up as king with a red cape and a folding chair, just walking around in the snow. I remember seeing a video on our old television. Actually, it’s been one of my first memories of pop music. And it must have been more or less 25 years to the day when I first fell in love. Most people might never get them at all, others fall for them once and never let go afterwards. It’s one of those ‘Either you love it or hate it’-situation with the British synthpop band. DEPECHE MODE have always been a discussable band. You worked 25 years ago, ten years ago and I’m pretty sure you’ll be doing good in the year 2030 when the band that recorded you will be in their late 60s. But, let’s be honest, there’s a certain timeless aura surrounding you anyway. Has it really been 25 years? Well, congratulations.
