The third album of Depeche Mode Construction Time Again
(1983) was the fi rst one to include talented band member and
arranger Alan Wilder to the mix. The album was recorded in
John Foxx’s The Garden studio in London and mixed in the
famous Hansa Tonstudio in Berlin, the latter being famous for
its delivery of classic albums by artists like David Bowie, Iggy
Pop, Nick Cave and U2.
Experimenting with brand new instruments like the Synclavier
that allowed sampling to be manipulated musically,
Construction Time Again was a groundbreaking record that
included industrial infl uences. These infl uences would come
to full fruition on subsequent albums Some Great Reward
[MOVLP940] and Black Celebration [MOVLP947]. Songs like
“Pipeline”, “Love In Itself”, “Shame” and “Everything Counts”
turned out to become classic Depeche material.
