Just Can’t Get Enough – the making of Depeche Mode
Depeche Mode have become one of the best selling British acts of all-time, and after three decades the band still thrive, both critically and commercially.
Just Can’t Get Enough (published to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the single with the same name) and the Speak and Spell album, charts their transformation from four fresh-faced synth pop innocents (with Vince Clarke in the group) to stadium-filling rock gods. The book examines their music journey from small nightclub residencies to to playing at some of the largest stadiums in the world.
Author Simon Spence traces their journey from early ‘synth-pop’ to the stark Black Celebration album; from Essex school halls to London fetish clubs and legendary Berlin studios; drawing on dozens of first hand interviews to give an inside view of one of Britain’s greatest modern bands.
