Other group members are full of praise for his performance of this and other songs on the album. "I think that's the best lyrics and melody I've ever been given to sing and the best vocal I've ever sung", he affirms. A few of the songs on the new album have a sort of gospel feel." One of them," Condemnation", is a particular favourite of David Gahan. "I don't really understand it, but I've always longed for some sort of belief. I've always had a fascination with religion", Gore admits. Sometimes I'll look at a song that I've just written and think that I know where it came from." Some of the most startling Depeche hits have had religious themes, including the 1984 UK top twenty hit "Blasphemous Rumours" and in 1989-90 "Personal Jesus". I've always found it a fascinating process. You're starting totally afresh when you're writing. "Although you know you are creating when you're in the studio. It's sifting through bits of performance and restructuring it, which bores Martin most of the time and David to an extent, but I actually quite enjoy it." "I prefer the writing," Martin confirms. A lot of the time its myself and Flood who are left there in the early hours of the morning, doing what we call 'screwdriver' work. 'Alan confirms.' I've always had a strong interest in the production side. We've got one of the best record deals in the music industry." "There has been a natural delegation of responsibility.
Mute, our record company, didn't have a computerized accounts system until recently, so it's a good thing Daniel Miller (who founded the label) is one of the most honest people I've ever met. It's important to keep an eye on merchandising and royalties. "I liaise with our accountant, our office staff and our business staff and I really enjoy it to be honest. Important financial matters that might bore many artists fascinate Fletch. "If more modern bands were like that, they could run their affairs more successfully. "I think this is the way a modern band should be", says Andy, referred to as Fletch. In simplistic terms, David is the singer, Martin the songwriter, Alan the musician and Andrew the coordinator. With Depeche Mode, conceived in the eighties and destined to outlast the nineties, there has been the pleasant discovery over the years that the four members have naturally gravitate d to different tasks, respect each other's performance in the separate jobs and have no desire to compete.

The group Queen, who were born in the seventies and survived through the eighties were long considered the classic example of how four very different individuals could maintain a professional partnership that was in all their interests, realizing that people don't have to be the best of personal friends to work well together. He's now become a crucial member of our team, and his contribution is vast".

As Alan explains," He has the rare ability to be able to step back and have a producers' perspective but also the technical know how to be completely hands on with all the equipment. Musician Alan Wilder stays on top of the latest developments in recording technology, with added input on the two albums from co-producer Flood. Writer Martin Gore deals with subject matter that doesn't even occur to most lyricists, let alone get expressed in song form. The voice of their lead vocalist David Gahan is one of the most distinctive and riveting in rock. Their music is always a welcome alternative to whoever and whatever happens to be in vogue. And we've tried so many things before that, to be experimental and different takes longer." One of the secrets of the lasting appeal of Depeche Mode has been that they are indeed different from any group and any trend.
"It takes longer until everybody is happy. The new work was made by David Gahan, Alan Wilder, Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher over an eight month period from April to December 1992, with long breaks between recording and mixing sessions in Madrid, Hamburg and London. It took the young Essex group only three weeks to record their first album, "Speak And Spell", in 1981. Their last album "Violator" was their most successful to date and after the tour finished, playing to 1,200,000 people over eight months, the group decided to take a one year sabbatical. The new, and tenth, Depeche Mode album "Songs Of Faith And Devotion" is one of the most eagerly awaited albums of 1993.
