About
Basildon, Essex. Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andy 'Fletch' Fletcher, Vince Clarke (early), Alan Wilder (mid-period). Synth-pop pioneers who turned into stadium goth-electronic colossi — 'Speak & Spell,' 'Construction Time Again,' 'Black Celebration,' 'Music for the Masses,' 'Violator' (1990, the masterpiece), 'Songs of Faith and Devotion.' Andy Fletcher passed in 2022; Dave and Martin made 'Memento Mori' (2023) as a meditation on mortality and toured it. The most consequential British electronic band of the past 40 years, full stop.
