can't believe that a company as iconic as Moog giving a prestigious award to a major star - didn't film this properly for web broadcast! would 2 more cameras on close up have killed you Moog??
Daniel Miller believes that Martin L Gore is the greatest living songwriter. He admires his talents very much. I am inclined to agree with him and I admire the both of them. Martin for his Elvis-like mien and his voice and songwriting skills and Daniel for creating, by hazard, mute records, my very favourite label.
"But I did start" That's the key right there... START!!! Don't be content with mere dreams... Make it happen. Feeling rather mortal at the moment on account of the passing of Fletch. RIP soldier... What a legacy. Being part of the greatest electronic band of all time, a band so good they have never traded upon their past, but instead moved forward with each decade, and raised the bar each time. 🏆🎹🇬🇧
The only one who had any real drive in their early days was Vince, although Dave came along with him to record labels and such. Vince's leaving was what really lit a fire under Martin to start writing songs out of necessity. Before that, Martin and Fletch didn't take the band seriously, primarily because they had decent day jobs and figured, not unreasonably, that their chances of actually succeeding in the music business were slim, at best.
One of the many reasons why I love DM & dream of having the opportunity to meet them. Not as some crazy fan, though I can imagine my worst fear would be getting all tongue tied & therefore sounding like a goofy crazy fan... But if I could bear my soul, they truly are my all time favorite band & their music has imprinted itself into & deep within my heart & soul!! ❤️❤️❤️Devotee4Life❤️❤️❤️
I met Martin very briefly backstage just an hour before their O2 gig in London in Jan 2024. And I can confirm the above. He had a lovely kind aura and seemed generous and relaxed. A superb 2hr performance ensued. It just left me with even more respect for him (being a lifelong fan already).
Thank you so much for putting this up. I wanted to go so badly, but my youngest son was in the middle of his eventually unsuccessful brain tumor battle and of course I wasn't going to leave him, even if I could have afforded it with all the bills from that, but this video made me very happy and I am so glad you posted it.
2:36 Not quite accurate. One of the two tracks Martin wrote that appeared on 'Speak & Spell' *was* indeed an instrumental ("Big Muff") but the other was a song, sung by Dave Gahan, and IMHO one of the best songs on the album 'Tora! Tora! Tora!". Martin was too polite to correct him of course. Or didn't care to!
There's an odd chemistry between these two. Daniel has been there since day one. Daniel produced the first five albums he had a profound influence on them.
Great interview. So glad I saw this. .. It would be neat if Martin would, in sort of the vein of an autobiography, write about his creative process. I'd love to know more both about how it works for him from the beginning to end of an individual song as well as how his creative experience evolved across his career. I know this is probably to be considered a total nerd request but I bet a lot of people besides me would be fascinated. As an outsider to music making I was still totally drawn in by this interview. Fans are so entrained to hearing about star's lives if they want to know them beyond the music they sell. But I'd like to know more about work behind the product when it's outstanding. Also, wouldn't it be more interesting for the artist to provide them an audience they can tell about their actual passion? Martin certainly seems more in his element in this interview than any other I've seen him in.
I agree because I've been a writer, just purely for myself for years. I find it so challenging to write "good/great material" & maybe some knowledge from such an amazing writer (and writer for my fave band🥰) as Martin would help inspire me.
A kit of songs were recorded on I believe was a Fairlight synth sampler that came with a large library of sounds that made composition easier for the band. Alan was exceptionally proficient with the advanced keyboard from music for the masses on to Sofad.
Martin's an official lyric instrumentalist & the second singer who has experience composing different classical songs with his band Depeche Mode.Very good interview;I love him.
Agreed. I don't think Martin appreciates how that album was a bridge between the explicit Pop sounds (because of Vince Clark mainly) of Speak & Spell and the darker and more melancholy sounds of everything that came after. It foreshadowed Construction Time Again. It was exactly the album it should've been.
Agreed. For any youngsters out there who want to hear a good 80's analog synth album I strongly recommend "A Broken Frame." Although the songwriting is a bit saccharine at times it works because it contrasts against the dark and moody synths. Just a beautifully dark album. An 80s classic.
There are a few good ones on it, but songs like The Meaning of Love, Photograph of You and See You drag it down a lot. For some reason "A Broken Frame" makes me think of autumn, maybe because it's so melancholic.
The Great Daniel Miller ..I think "Warm Leatherette "is an utterly perverse work of art ..Thanks to Grace & of course for making it all the more perverse ! & of course the great JB Ballard !.
@19:30 interesting to hear Gore speak about how he uses a modular in his song structuring, only using it to make one specific sound needed in a song. That's how I turned out to use my eurorack system. It's a sound design tool now when earlier I wanted it to be a complete song producing machine with drums and everything. Not practical that.
Why does Daniel almost constantly stroke the top of his head ? ...... Martin is such a lovely, genuine guy, & a brilliant musician ✔👍 🥰 X Considering this is supposed to be a professionally made video, camera work is almost non existent, and the audio is crap !
@@CristianSirb It's not stupid at all! It seems less motivated by the overstressed wish to Alan re-joining the group here, but given both Alan's and Martin's different approach and expertises to create music, sounds, tracks I reckon the result should be much more promising and refreshing than Martin and Vince. I would be very excited (to say the least) to get my ears on such colab.
@@jakubbielak7273 Arranger and orchestrator and pretty much their main producer. Martin certainly has his own style, but the style people recognize as Depeche Mode in their heyday was Alan Wilder's, or rather what Alan made Martin's songs into.
thank god for daniel miller and alan wilder's passion for analogue remaining, or everything dm did between 84 and 87 would've been bathed in lame DX7, etc. sounds like so many other bands that went through the period.
Just found out Martin is half black. I had no idea. His biological father was an American soldier based in the UK and he didn't know until he was a teenager. I wonder if he ever met him?
Martin is a good song writer, Dave is good front vocal but they are not really Depeche Mode without Alan Wilder, Alan Wilder was a really soul and signature of the band. They were probably jealous about contrubition of Alan, specially Fletcher, this is why they did not want to do activities with Alan again.
It was easy to get in the music biz in the Earley eighties. You only needed a good catchy song and after the signing you'd be on top of the pops the next day. When Vince Clarke left dm he thought he was the important one and dm would be no more. But step up Martin gore and dm surged ahead of yazoo, the assembly and erasure combined. I bet vince was kicking himself later on after dm broke America. Live using a tape machine was a bit of a cheek but it worked, so why not. Sampling construction time, blasphemous rumours with the Emulator one and emulator 2 Peace ✌️ out people
Surrinder J hi, vince clark left dm for artistic reasons. He wanted to create "happy dance music" whereas the remaining guys were into "dark new wave stuff". Vince was HUGE with Yazoo back then, and i bet he has no regret. He's a legend.
@@aladdintrips @aladdintrips Hi buddy, Depeche Mode have been whey more successful than anything Vince Clark has done, after he left Depeche Mode. DM first had hits with "Just can't get enough" and "new life" that VC wrote on the speak and spell album. "Television set" didn't make the album even though I think it's a catchy little electro pop song however, Martin Gore back then wrote "big muff" and "tora, tora, tora" on the speak and spell album both great songs btw. VC then left at the height of DMs early success. The next big single from Depeche Mode was "See you" after Clark had left, Martin already had a demo of "see you" in acoustic guitar form. I hear that Vince wanted total control of the songwriting which was wrong because being in a band everyone should contribute. If vince had his way, Depeche mode would of been what erasure were. When vince left, he did offer Depeche mode the song "only you" as a goodbye gesture, but Depeche mode turned it down. So he later used that song with yazoo, upstairs at Eric's. I find it strange that when Depeche mode hit the big time with singles from the speak and spell album, VC had no plan because when he left at the height of that success, he later put an ad in melody maker music mag for a new vocalist. To start from scratch like that after leaving a successful band is crazy. When Alan wilder joined Depeche mode that changed the songs because he was a proper pianist musician. Even though Martin gore wrote 99% of the songs, Alan wilder did contributed to a few namely, "if you want to" and I think "shame" which are great songs too BTW, with the invention of Sampling and the EMU systems Emulator 1 & 2 and synclavia sampling keyboards changed the sound of Depeche mode with "construction time" , "music for the masses" and the "black celibration" albums. They honed their skills with the "violator" album. They broke America big when they tried an second time. Vince did sort of make his mark in America with Yazoo and "don't go" their hit "situation" was a remix of an original version that VC had intended, but the remix went down well in the American clubbing scene, So they went with it, but there was a problem with the band name, and they couldn't use Yazoo. I think they used Yazz in the states. Everything after that didn't come to much in America for vince. They had another hit with "only you" and kept it a ballad type song. In 1988, Depeche mode did the 101 concert in pasedena, they totally sold out and never looked back. That concert was marked by a live album and video movie DM 101 which was their 101st gig in that tour. Depeche mode are still going today. Where's vince and his erasure? I used to be a fan of Depeche mode, however, I don't listen to them much anymore after "songs of faith and devotion" I haven't heard their last few albums at all. DM were a huge influence on my music. I have loads of songs where you can hear the influence. However, I was also into other music from the mute record label then later grunge in the 90's and I've always liked kraftwerk, and a lot of the 70's, 80's and 90's music. However, VC is good, he wrote many hit records in all the bands he had formed, the assembly with fergal sharky "it never happens to me" and all the songs with Andy Bell with erasure. I will say though, to my ears, Alison moyet and Andy Bell sound very similar vocally. Peace ✌️ out people
@@UberSynth hello, yep DM was as uge as can be compared the many VC projects, but what i really meant in my previous comment is that VC had "no regret" leaving DM, as he achieved his artistical goals, musicaly speaking. Oh, and, regarding Alan Wilder's contributions...i think you omit to mention...Two Minutes Warning ! haha:))
@@aladdintrips yeah two minute warning and if you want to. Two brilliant Depeche mode tracks written by Alan Wilder. Depeche mode influenced me in my music. I have some good electronica songs I may upload at some point. Peace ✌️ out people
@@UberSynth Alan Wilder in many opinion is the most talented musician. Going back to Vincent Clarke, he broke the US and world with Erasure. They had huge record sales with Chorus album and their iconic Little Respect.
the guitar is something to do on stage for entertainment (and dave likes sharing the space). it's better to have him on it than some rando. if you don't think the guy is all over synths he's got 4 solo albums+vmcg you can check, also maybe google images "martin gore studio". it took him awhile to take full reign of synths after alan left, but he's full on nutty now. besides, its more like a lifetime award sort of deal. not many groups or people have done as much to mainstream synth music.
Martin is such a humble genius. I can't name another group whose music had such a thorough and profound effect on me on so many different levels.
Yes!! Same for me!! 💯❤️❤️❤️

To this day, after so many years, tours, so much public speaking, so much fame and money, Martin is still like a shy, self-effacing boy.
And just observe his complete lack of pretentiousness. No psychobabble, just an honest, modest and funny guy!
