I'd only 'discovered' Depeche Mode when the "People are People" single charted in summer 1985. So I had some catching up to do with the back catalogue.
Even early in their career, Depeche had produced a plethora of moody ear worms ranging from the light and poppy "Just Can't Get Enough" to the darker synth of "Lie to Me".

Then there's "Everything Counts", with its pulsating synths, powerful chorus and political lyrics "Grabbing hands, grab all they can" about the state of corporate greed in 80s England.
The tune also provides musical hints for the future "People are People" single that paved their way for even more success during the mid and late 80s.
And yes, there will be more from DM in the upcoming weeks...

Also from 1983, "Get The Balance Right" showcases a similar sound with a video taking place in an arcade.
