Where it came from
Released in 1987 in most territories, this sixth studio album by Depeche Mode marked a pivotal transition for the band. Recorded primarily in Paris and Berlin, it was produced alongside David Bascombe and represented a shift toward a more atmospheric, expansive electronic sound. The title was intentionally ironic, chosen by Alan Wilder to mock the band's perceived commercial ambition while they leaned into more experimental production techniques.
The iconic cover art, featuring a giant megaphone in a desolate field, was designed by long-term creative collaborator Anton Corbijn. This image became synonymous with the band's aesthetic during this era, symbolizing the tension between the intimacy of their songwriting and the scale of their growing global popularity. The album was well-received by critics for its sophistication and solidified the band's status as a major force in the alternative electronic music scene.
