At DM's concerts in 1984, 1985, 1986 i brought a pair of binoculars and watched as Alan Wilder loaded his diskettes.

3:27 Ferris complains about not having a car yet he has an $8,000 sampler in his room.
-
It wasn't the studio guy that made it into a dance track. It was band member Alan Wilder that reworked the song into what we know, as he was basically the band's architect.
-
Just recently saw them live at Madison Square Garden. Those opening chords to Enjoy The Silence...25,000 fans go nuts. What a band , what an experience.
-
It was Alan Wilder that reworked the ballad into a dancesong/hit.
-
I'm a guitarist, but Will, your series has become my favorite on Reverb. Humor, great song selection, and awesome clothes. My childhood restored.
-
Pretty addicted this series now. Always diggin the gaming themed Tees.
-
Violator is one of my favourite albums of all time, after watching this I have a pressing need to listen to it again!
-
This is their best video on synths, long live depeche mode, fav. band
-
"I like big brass, and I cannot lie." ROFL You are too funny Mr. Kurk!
-
stumbled on this series and i'm super hooked. will kurk's humor is half the reason to watch (the other half being his incredible knowledge of vintage synth sounds)!

Went to three DM concerts in the last 12 months and I can say I enjoyed every single one more than the last. Wasn’t really ever a huge DM fan but my mum surely was for as long as I can remember! Thank god she took me with her to these concerts!!
-
Finally...Enjoy the Silence! Great as always. One thing to note...the “studio guys” that drove the change from a ballad to a dance song were Flood and Alan Wilder. There’s a great video on here where Flood talks about the whole story behind the song’s evolution.

"The studio guy" ? you mean ALAN WILDER!! (and Flood)
-
I am a full-time voice actor and musician who grew up in the 80s and 90s. I am primarily a guitarist and I can’t play keyboards worth anything however I absolutely enjoy this series. Another job well done! Thanks for posting!
-
"I like big brass...and I cannot lie" this guy is a legend, love all his videos so far
-
As a massive DM fan, I thought this was pretty damn awesome!! However, I WISH you had tackled the brilliant drum programming on this song as well. That drum kit sound is legendary, especially the snare. Special kudos to Flood and Alan Wilder for taking Martin Gore's beautiful ballad and turning it into this masterpiece. :)
-
Love this series, William’s personality adds some fun into what could’ve been a boring and dragged out Depeche Mode remake! Good work and can’t wait for more
-
This whole series has been awesome but this is probably the best one so far.
-
Got this masterpiece album on cassette when it came out when I was 14 and still can't believe how good that album is after a zillion years. Gonna go listen again now.
