Depeche Mode - Speak & Spell

Depeche Mode — Speak & Spell

Depeche Mode's 1981 debut on 180-gram vinyl!

"Depeche Mode's debut is at once both a conservative, functional pop record and a groundbreaking release. While various synth pioneers had come before, Depeche became the undisputed founder of straight-up synth pop with the album's 11 songs, light, hooky, and danceable numbers about love, life, and clubs ... Speak & Spell remains an undiluted joy." — 4/5 Stars — Ned Raggett, AllMusic

Speak & Spell is a remarkable debut album that put Depeche Mode on the world stage. Propelled by the No. 11 U.K. single "New Life" and by the international hit "Just Can't Get Enough" the album positioned Depeche Mode as one of the most interesting of the emerging electronic music artists.
