Depeche Mode - Speak & Spell (October 5, 1981)
What better way to celebrate
#electronicmusicTuesday than to play the debut album from what was to become my favorite band through the mid 80s and early 90s!
It was the band's only album to feature Vince Clarke, and as a result, is much lighter in tone than their subsequent releases.
The album title alludes to the then-popular "Speak & Spell" electronic toy.
It includes "Just Can't Get Enough" which is still one of my favorite songs, and one of their best, in my humble opinion.
Their first singles released were "Dreaming of Me" and "New Life". I have the Swedish pressing, not the US, so it doesn't include "I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead", but instead has "Dreaming of Me". Plus it has the original, not remix version, of "New Life". Which is your favorite track? 😎
I just can't get enough of these guys! 😜🎶
