Tribute To Depeche Mode

The fourth in a highly acclaimed series of tribute albums by the world s leading names in the chiptune and synth-punk scene. With tributes to Kraftwerk, The Beatles and Devo already under their belts, 8-Bit Operators return with 15 new tracks honoring the timeless synth-pop of Depeche Mode. Choosing tracks that span the band's incredible career, series curator Jeremy Kolosine once again delivers a masterful selection of the world's most inventive and influential exponents of 8-Bit composition & production. Here the focus lies on the unique character of sound delivered by various circuit-bent & re-tooled iconic micro-chips of the late 20th century (Nintendos, Ataris, Gameboys, Commodore 64s, Speak & Spells, etc) and the versatile music it can create based on the rich melodies and lyrics that Martin Gore and Vince Clarke set as the inspiration.
