Additional information about this Depeche Mode vinyl art.
Depeche Mode – The Artist/s
Depeche Mode are an English electronic band formed in Basildon, Essex in 1980. The group consists of founders Dave Gahan (lead vocals, co-songwriting), Martin Gore (keyboards, guitar, chief songwriting), and Andy Fletcher (keyboards). Depeche Mode released their debut album Speak & Spell in 1981, bringing the band onto the British new wave scene. Original band member Vince Clarke, left the band after the release of the album to form Yazoo. Alan Wilder officially joined the band to fill Clarke’s spot, establishing a line up that would continue for the next 13 years.
Master And Servant – The Song
Master and Servant is written by Martin Gore and is Depeche Mode’s eleventh UK single and the second single from the Some Great Reward album. It’s subject matter is BDSM relationships, which at the time caused some controversy. The overtly sexual, BDSM-themed lyrics of Master and Servant — complete with synthesised whip-and-chain sound effects — reportedly meant that the song was banned by some radio stations and narrowly avoided a radio ban by the BBC as well. Despite this it became one of their best known hits.
Chain & Heart -The Shape
This record had been cut into a chain and heart to represent the elements dominance and submission. Dominance and submission (D/s) is a set of behaviours, customs, and rituals involving the submission of one person to another in an erotic episode or lifestyle. It is a subset of BDSM. This form of sexual contact and pleasure has been shown to please a minority of people.
