But it is their astonishing series of early albums that made them such a legend among their hardcore army of fans. Mostly ignored by the UK press at the time, LPs such as Some Great Reward, Black Celebration and Music For The Masses have grown in stature with every passing year as a new generation of artists have proclaimed their influence.

In 2013, with a new album about to drop, Depeche Mode seem more relevant and important than they ever did and a new generation of fans are waiting to discover them.
