A Album i can say i brought at the time of release on trusty cassette.Looking back through their catalogue this album is one that often get overlooked but it shows that they were following their own path but also taking in influences from obscure acts.
In the early 80s Depeche Mode were very much part of the smash hits magazine pop culture. in 1983 their sound changed from highly poppy to more industrial. This album was Depeche Mode hitting their stride.
The album features tracks like 'Master and Servant', 'People are people' but also tracks like ' If You Want to'. at this time their were bands who were using industrial things like metal(einstruzende Neubaten and SPK)), Depeche Mode embraced these elements whilst still remaining commercial.
