Resources
depmod
A collector-oriented site and the definitive guide to all Depeche Mode releases in all countries, on all formats, at all times. Exhaustive and well-organised site cataloguing everything the band have released, with photographs, tracklistings, catalogue numbers. If it's not on this site, it's almost certainly a fake! Also has a specialist forum of knowledgeable and friendly collectors.recoil19
A "visual Recoil discography", supplying an equivalent of depmod for Alan Wilder's Recoil project. An exhaustive and detailed worldwide discography, plus an in-depth Recoil history, lyrics and video information. Stunning, authentic graphics.dmpix
Does exactly what it says on the tin. Exactly how many pictures do you want? Has several huge galleries of pictures organised by subject. Minimal in design but impressive in content.stranjluv101.com
A compelling site of facts, lists and statistics covering all aspects of Depeche Mode's career. Treat it like an encyclopedia, I've never known it to be wrong.depechemodeitalia
An impressive Italian language website full of DM stuff. Contains an immense video archive of TV appearances, some quite old. Easy enough to navigate even if, like me, you don't speak Italian.tuug.utu.fi
A basic site similar to this one with a number of early Depeche Mode newspaper and magazine clippings up to early 1997. If you haven't found what you want here on Sacred DM, try this site next.
Fan SitesFor All Of The Fun
The damage is done! Gently satirical fan site with an impressive picture section. All four band members of the 'classic' line-up come in for their fair share of the mud-flinging. Is Fletch the antichrist? Is Alan in fact a robot? Hysterical.Agent Orange
Extensive unofficial site with plenty of proper information about the band - archives, pictures, band member details. Probably the most impressive and informative unofficial site I have seen. Oh, and it's actually purple.depeche-mode.ru
Russian-language website with information on the band, photographs, lyrics, discography and a forum. The site also advertises upcoming fan gatherings. I can't tell you much more I'm afraid as I don't speak Russian!violator.it
Stylish Italian website (but with plenty of English). All the usual features - discography, history, photos, tour information - plus a few welcome extras such as downloads and Nokia ringtones.raphmode.net
Bilingual French / English site, with some truly breathtaking presentation, run by a French fan who composes his own Depeche Mode tributes. As well as the usual info, lyrics and pictures the site also has remix loops and a huge selection of Depeche Mode themed fonts and graphics to download.strangedevotion.tk
Site run by a Spanish collector of Depeche Mode bootleg concerts, with material available for trade. Lots of stuff here from the whole range of the band's career, and also some TV appearances too.
Mail Order
The Mute Bank
Mail order section of Depeche Mode's record label. Most of the more pedestrian releases are available here (i.e. 12", cassette and CD singles and albums, with the occasional limited edition), plus videos and DVDs. Provided you don't just buy one thing, this works out cheaper than buying in a high street shop.EIL / Esprit
Absolutely huge online shop with about 20 pages of Depeche Mode items, many of which I have not seen on sale elsewhere. Fast and professional service. Be warned, however, that in many cases the prices are a joke - shop around first.Sister Ray
A smaller but still very useful online shop. Prices are more reasonable. (If you have done business with this company, please let me have your comments, as I have not. Thanks.)
Just For Laughs
'See You' on Swedish TV, 1982
A clip that the Mode would prefer to forget. 'See You' apparently performed in a barn, while a couple canoodle in the hay behind them, and all the band members sit rigid with embarrassment while nursing chickens. Why, I don't know. But I have yet to watch this without crying with laughter.'Some Great Reward' - in Lego!
Which makes me wonder if somebody somewhere had too much time on their hands.Depeche Mode E-Cards
Music / video email greetings cards playing 'Personal Jesus', 'Freelove' and 'I Feel Loved'. (If anyone knows of any similar items, please let me know and I will link them here. Thanks.)
