A slightly more solemn ballad

Wallflowers keyboardist Rami Jaffee

Marquee Moon is comprised entirely of tense garage rockers that spiral into heady intellectual territory

Recorded directly from a 1980 KROQ FM radio broadcast

Depeche Mode "A Broken Frame" house A slightly more solemn balladSophomore album and first without co founding member vince clarke, who was the principal songwriter on the band's debut, 'speak & spell'. 'with a broken frame', martin gore filled this void by penning each of the album's ten tracks. 'a broken frame', however, is not one of dm's strongest albums, even the musicians involved will own up to that sentiment, yet despite the songwriting being wildly uneven it still holds up as an enjoyable record.
