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:
“That the mere matter of a poem, for instance—its subject, its given incidents or situation; that the mere matter of a picture—the actual circumstances of an event, the actual topography of a landscape—should be nothing without the form, the spirit of the handling, that this form, this mode of handling, should become an end in itself, should penetrate every part of the matter;Mthis is what all art constantly strives after, and achieves in different degrees.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
