Rooted in the UK’s late 70’s New Romantic movement, Depeche Mode formed in 1980, and their pioneering, synthesizer-based sound went on to establish them as one of the most successful alt-rock groups ever. These electro-pop superstars loomed as large as cult heroes as they did as commercial heavies, and their wealth of singles and signature tracks ranged from energetic dance grooves to dramatic, moody, and industrial-tinged masterpieces. Depeche’s originality of vision weathered personnel shifts and personal turmoil, influencing modern rock and synth-pop on a global level.

A Billboard Top 5 album when it was released in 1997, “Ultra” marked Alan Wilder’s departure, Tim Simenon’s arrival as a producer, and a rejuvenated band delivering hits such as “Barrel Of A Gun”, “Home”, and the Top 40 single, “It’s No Good”.
