Depeche Mode
One of the first tracks Depeche Mode recorded at Blackwing was "Dreaming of Me", after it being decided it would be the first Depeche Mode single. At the time Vince Clarke was unemployed so he spent most of the daytime in the studio with Daniel Miller. Miller would give Clarke help and advice on how to get sounds, use studio technology and arrange songs. Then later in the afternoon Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher would arrive from their day jobs to record melody parts. After the recording of "Speak & Spell" Vince Clarke left the band, but carried on recording at Blackwing. In late 1981 the three remaining members of Depeche Mode returned to Blackwing and recorded the single See You. The track was the first Depeche Mode track to use a Roland MC-4 sequencer, which made the core sound to the track. It would also be the first track recorded without Clarke.

Famous quotes containing the word mode:
“I cannot believe that our factory system is the best mode by which men may get clothing. The condition of the operatives is becoming every day more like that of the English; and it cannot be wondered at, since, as far as I have heard or observed, the principal object is, not that mankind may be well and honestly clad, but, unquestionably, that the corporations may be enriched.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
