Loved it. It felt good to hear how often Alan was mentioned and appreciated during the interview. Like a balm to my soul 🙂
Thank you once again for this interview!
🚨 Alan Wilder Fan girl alert! 🚨 👍
@@energymc22 Always 😉
Really enjoyed this series. Nice to hear that the technological limitations shaped the sound of the album. Limitations breed creativity, and "Masses" has creativity in spades. Brilliant stuff Vaughn. Take a bow.
What a dream come true if you managed to get Alan Wilder for an interview on this channel. When I saw DM in concert, I was a bit sad to only see the two of them. I know the “new” tour members have been with DM a lot longer than Alan, but they aren’t the original. Alan will always be a part of DM’s DNA as far as I am concerned.
Thoroughly enjoyed these interviews. Dave seems such a down to earth guy. Vaughn, you did a great job. Would like to see more of these type of interviews.
Thank you Craig!! Pleased to have you onboard Sir!! VG :-)
What a great interview! He's such a nice man and I feel like I could have a beer with him and chat all day.
Or scotch
No surprise that Alan was the driving force within the band. He's a genius. Shame the rest of the guys didn't appreciate him. Again, excellent series Vaughn.
Love to hear Alan's take on the album's he was apart of.
"driving force"? DM been around for 40 years, Alan was a member for 13, the genius is Martin, Alan is a producer
@@stephanandersson8230I can t agree more with you...although even Fletch was necessary until his tragic death. 😢
Hats off to you Vaughn - you nailed a perfect interview - brilliant series - thank you..!!
Mark B you are most welcome my friend!! It was a pleasure!! VG 🎹👍😎

I first saw Depeche mode early 1981 in London I think it was at south bank university taking their keyboards out of cardboard boxes and backing tracks on a cassette recorder .8weeks later @ICA ,New life had just chartered,best gig ever!for me this interview gave a real insight into the Band ,Brilliant keep up the good work Vaughn
Another fantastic episode. You're a natural at this. Hopefully you get a chance to interview Flood some stage, that would be massive!!
Just loved it. I could have watched hours and hours of it. And Alan confirmed as the driving force behind a brilliant album.
Lovely to hear Dave also went to MFTM tour gig and mentioned 'Pimpf' being played at the beginning of the show - yes, I remember that, too! The last song they played was 'Everything Counts' and Dave invited a girl from the front row to sing with him. This girl was so nervous, she sang all out of tune and everyone laughed and Dave kissed her on her cheek. Bless. Alan was laughing so much, he stopped playing the song. I'm glad I saw them before they progressed onto 'arena' and 'stadium' shows.
This series was fantastic! Thanks so much! I know Dave references his Tears for Fears work often and indeed this was great work and a huge commercial success. However, Music For the Masses is just such sonically and musically much better work, which was not meant to be as commercial. MFTM allowed DM to leave smaller concert venues and begin selling out large arenas. That’s how huge an impact this album had on DM.
Lots of interesting details there. Thanks 🌟
If I remember, Spanish Taster was Martin's preferred mix which Alan disliked. Alan's preference was the version on the album.
Neil Ruston thank you for helping to clarify this my friend!! VG 😎👍🎹
Interesting to hear that it was Alan who got his way on this! I would have assumed the Martin/Fletch combo would have always got the final say on things. I remember hearing Flood say Alan and Martin were having it out over which version of Judas to put on SOFAD. Not sure who won that one...
@@KarlHamilton I think they compromised on Judas but the ending of it sounds very Alan-like to me
@@KarlHamilton if that were the case, you would have a VERY different Violator and SOFAD!
Spanish taster wasn't particularly disliked by Alan. According to him, it's just a polished version of the studio demo that was recorded because Martin was attached enough to the original to want to preserve it in some form. But the album version was always the intended one to be included.
Alan got his way a lot or he wouldn't have said he was sort of the band's musical director. As for Judas, there's a Flood interview I can't find anymore in which he stated he was on Martin's side concerning Judas, but it was Alan the one who won.
Great Interview and great insight into the making of MFTM!
Thank you!! I am glad you enjoyed it!! VG :-)
Hi Vaughn, I desperately wait for a serious interview with James Ford. His work on Spirit is outstanding. Though the album doesn't work as a whole, the overall production and especially drum programming/mixing is stellar and so much better then the previous 3 albums. Backwards, for me, is the by far best track they did since AL left.
Totally worth it. Thanks guys x
Great final of the series Vaughn! Such a genuine conversation. Hope he really enjoyed the scotch.
marcus jessen glad you enjoyed it and I’m sure Dave enjoyed the scotch too!! VG 😎👍🎹
It was an honor. Thank you very very much. I couldn’t spend hours to watch you both talking. Take care. Keep up the good work. Stay safe.
Great interview again!!!
Absolutely brilliant, we’ll done Vaughn and the rest of the team. Loved this series, sad it’s over though. Three cheers for Mr Bascome for allowing us into his world for these interviews. Thanks for everything Vaughn!
Thank you for the series. It was great.
Excelent we want a interview with Alan that is the goal, is so hard contact him, buy this channel deserve it, thanks man.
Cool. Really enjoyed all 3.
Thank you Vaughn!
This interview confirms Alan being heavily involved in the production and sounds of DM even back then. It’s too bad he wasn’t credited more like he would have wanted to be. If they had maybe he might’ve still been with them now and making awesome albums. Oh well. Great series Vaughn excellent job.
thank you for this videos!
What difficult English for me to understand Dave's :)
Sincere congratz, Vaughn!
Absorbed this very uplifting trilogy-interview with Dave Bas(S)combe as completely pleasant and got this smile on my face...thankies, friend!
Fantastic series Vaughn! Thanks so much!
Thanks Vaughn for this fantastic series. I really enjoyed it.
Great Interview, can't wait for more, thanks🌹✌🎶
Awesome! Couldn’t wait for this. Thank you for this whole series.
You are welcome !! VG:-)
Vaughn George sorry I didn’t do it sooner but this series made me sign up for your Patreon. Keep up the great work.
Schubert33 very grateful to you for that my friend and welcome to the inn er circle !! VG 😎👍🎹
Vaughn, firstly - thanks for doing this...it must have been great to just hang out with Dave and mine his memory! and so great of you to share with us. I couldn't not go back and listen to the album again last night and I have to say, for as much as Dave discounts it as a historic period piece of learning - it holds up to me and it's a mark of brilliance in action - I had completely forgotten how this album is the pinnacle of their sampling journey and it's precisely this "sound" that got me into DM back in the day. I found them through the album People are People in the US in 84. MFTM It's a landmark album by all accounts and Dave's raw talent is imbued in it's DNA. Good stuff! Dave if you read this, thank you!
Great work! Incredible that this is fan-driven. ONE fan. Thank you!!!
Love this! Thanks for making it happen!!!
plasticvideo a huge pleasure Matey!! VG
I was looking forward to part 14, didn't realise there where only 3 parts ;) Kidding ofcourse, I do appreciate what you've done with this series :)
Thanks so much for this interview. If by chance anyone wants to know what a Christian artist heavily influenced by Mode sounds like come see.
Such a fantastic interview and I think you both bonded. Amazing insight from such a humble man.
If there ever was an album to cover, this would be it for me. Dreams have come true for many of us and thank you Vaughn, Simon and Lloyd. 10/10
Thanks Vaughn and team for this true gem, also thanks to Dave for making this possible!
Finally got to see the last episode - absolutely loved the series. Thanks Vaughan for making this happen and thanks to all involved, its much appreciated. It's great that Dave Bascombe gave his time for this, many wouldn't. Awesome 👍👍👍
I really enjoyed this series, Vaughn! Insightful, well-crafted and interesting all around. I found myself laughing hysterically at the "Alan Wilder Fanboy Alert" siren stabs that were peppered throughout the series. Thanks so much for conducting the interviews, and special thanks for making the videos available during these challenging times. Be well.
thank you for this series
remi cius glad you liked it!! VG
Questions (and Answers) for the Masses !! Well done Vaughn, superb job !! (And the crew)
Thank you for interviewing Dave. It was really awesome hearing about the different mixes on the album. Thank you Vaughn 😎.
Finally got around to watching this series. Very well done Vaughn! Really interesting and informative interview. You are quite lucky to have had the opportunity to spend some time with someone like Dave. Keep up the excellent work!!!
You did it again mate !!! Cool ! And very interesting tech interview to see !
Yeeeah!!! Thank you, Vaughn! First of all for inserting my stupid question about Fletch in there. second; for confirming my theory that the more you want to understand something, how it works, and how it came about, the more a mystery it becomes. It's exactly like nuclear physicists: the more they zoom in and feel like they are getting closer to the truth the fuzzier the image it gets. At some point, you just have to admit that it's a mystery and accept it. This doesn't mean that you won't discover some fascinating details during your quest, which you absolutely did and I love you for that. Cheers!
Love It! Voughn, you catch the man! Congrats!
fabricio cantoni thank you !! 😎👍🎹
Hi Vaughn
That was an absolutely awesome interview you gave with the man who gave Music for the Masses it’s truly unique sound. Dave comes across as a real true gentleman. Thank you for interviewing him and bringing it to the Masses.
Awesome interview Vaughn! Loved this series and can't wait for the next part of the album review, hope you're well during this time
Tomversal you are most welcome my friend and I am very well , thanks for asking !! All the best to you too!! VG 😎👍🎹
Vaughn , You Never let me down !!
Ha! I'm the 101st like. Great interview. Really enjoyed this series. Keep up the good work Vaughan. Stay safe my friend
100% worth it. Great video. Gotta look up these demos now.
Great interview!!!!!
Really great interview. Going through the reverb presets on Pleasure little treasure main riff was a fun bit. I like that he doesn't give a BS answer but actually say what he thinks (even if he "slams" the all time favorite Behind the wheel :) )
Another excellent professional job mate. Thankyou!
Allister Ainsworth you are most welcome !! VG
Quality interview Dave B comes across as a great guy thanks Vaughn..
Fantastic interview. As a no english speaker I have to say that it is very difficult to understand Dave speaking. But I have to admit a great job from Vaughn and very thanks to Dave for all great info about Music for the masses.
Absolutely loving the content!!!
Thank you Vaughn George for your creativity and passion for DM content. Thank you Vaughn, Dave Bascombe, Simon, Lloyd(behind the scenes crew...
Manuel the Wise Guy I really appreciate your kind words !! VG 😎👍🎹
Thank you Vaughn!
NordWinter anytime!! VG 👍😎🎹
Excellent series of interviews, you win youtube 2020.
My comments are usually long... I will keep this short... Very well done Vaughn, this series was brilliant to say the least! I am very proud of what you have done with this channel and I was more than happy to help this happen, just outstanding Vaughn! Cheers!
Thanks Vaughn
Thanks to Dave and Vaughn (and of course Simon and Lloyd) for the interview. All we ever wanted to know about Music for the Masses was covered❤️
So awesome this guy has no info up on TH-cam now he does thx !!
Amazing interview! Love the mftm album!
Thank you for this interview once again, Vaughn! An insight into the making of. Hope you’ll manage to interview Flood, Tim Simenon and (even though you don’t like these albums much) Ben Hillier and James Ford, I think that there are many interesting details awaiting
Brilliant cheers!
Thanks Dave ! It was lovely and I listen to MFTM a million times :-)
Bascome is the man! This interview confirmed my love for Alan on a whole new level. Thank you Vaughn.
Nailed it !!!
Dave sounds like an absolute gent. No pretences. Easy going and a great story-teller. Well done VG.
Awesome man
Great interview videos! What a nice guy Dave Bascombe is. Modest and down-to-earth. And, Dave, I've always had signature trouble like yours! It's a shame Fletch appears as hands-off as we thought he'd be - I hoped we'd be told Fletch works away in the studio doing the more mundane stuff, but no... Finally, Vaughn, it's obvious you're a nice guy too.
Thanks Vaughn - a great series of interviews. Disappointed no Alan' warnings in this last part though :)
& Wednesday has just got so much better, another DM Vaughn upload 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 WooHoo!
Smash that like button folks 👍🏻
Great 👍 series thanks for all your work.Hope to win.
Yes! I've Heard my question!
Had your remix going in my head for a few days now
DM knew some music tricks and when shuffled and dealt the music they knew....It was Win.😉 I respect sb for contribution which gave so many unique Project.To have and to hold(Spanish tester) Me parece buena idea.Con gusto Yo escucho esta music. Muchas gracias ....Vaughn y Dave !!! 👌
So girls from the Fashion Week took part in "I want you now"? That's huge! Thanks George, great interview as usual! It would be huge to have Daniel Miller or Flood next, let's dream a bit!
Isidore M'Buma I love dreamers so let us all dream !! I’m glad you liked this series !! Thanks for your kind words !! VG 😎👍🎹
Simply great....
BRILLIANT!!!! 👏👏👏
Awww jus t watched. Great stuff!
Very interesting story with " I want you know " 😄😄😄
Very interesting and insightful to an amazing album. Love the "Theme for the Masses" also, is it available anywhere to download?
Spasiba!
Great interview series. Dave comes over as a nice bloke, and clearly a top quality engineer and mixer, but not really the main producer of the record.I'm really surprised that DM had decided on which tracks to use and record before he even turned up, as don't producers normally have a say, as an expert outside ear, on what tracks should be chosen?
'MFTM is more similar to SOFAD to me' - really? I'd love to know why. For the record I am not a big SOFAD fan, never have been.
Fascinating to hear Dave say that BTW wasn't one of his favourites and that he never quite got that one. I suppose you can be too close to something when working on it, whereas for me, it is classic DM.
Great job Vaughn. Are people still able to enter for a chance to win a signed vinyl?
Spanish taster mix is brilliant
perfect..best regards from Denmark,,,,danish radio got a rare interview in 2017 with Puk Studio "in house sound mand" Peter Iversen (he now owns PUK studio) about there times at PUK..i your want i send a link
Nice one, no Alan siren, but nice one .. Was a good journey, all three parts.
I am a bit sick of the siren.
I’m sure their PPG Wave would have featured somewhere
one day we should make an EP together vaughn george for fun !
What mix is starting to play @ 1:53 please?
Yuri Borodkin I produced that mix and will make it available soon. VG 😎👍🎹
Vaughn, Alan answered that SPANISH TASTER question on his QA: oldsite.recoil.co.uk/forum/qa/dmmftm.htm
You see it asked+answered twice, first by HEIKO BRUNE, a bit more down by AARON HENDERSON.
Basically Martin liked the SPANISH TASTER better and it was more like his demo (also being 6/8), but Alan wanted the dark 4/4 version and got his choice on the album.
Dave Bascombe, Gareth Jones, Flood..
Next step is Flood, yes?
I hope so !! VG ;-)
By the way, when you get to Violator, don't forget to talk about the pedal steel player Nils Tuxen. A Dane they must have engaged at PUK Studios, Denmark.
Check out this video of him: th-cam.com/video/fGeObm8bgYY/w-d-xo.html and then consult the Violator cover and scratch your head for an hour, LOL.
His name is Nils, so it is misspelled in the video title.
Hexa-like!!!
