COMPOSITION OF SOUND (Depeche Mode) - Reason Man (1980)

[diablossuite]

this is a tribute album. it is not depeche mode. "reason man" was later used for vinces band yazoo for the track "unmarked".

there is also a live version of "reason man" from depeche mode. you will find it also here on youtube.

It is really the Coming Back To You tribute CD. I have this one and I've listened many times. The Reason Man was never played in studio but only in live performances indeed. That's the true you should accept it.

Check top comments - it is coming back to you - a tribute - I have the CD and confirm it is not dm - just a recording faithful to the original.

I don't think this is real. The drums are the Korg KR55/Arp 2600 sounds they did not use until working with Daniel Miller in the studio (the band didn't own either but used a cheap Boss drum machine, which you can hear in early bootleg live stuff like the "Bridgehouse" gig). There is no way they could have gotten those sounds recording a demo in their house in 1980. I think someone heard the live version, sampled the drums, and are pretending to be Composition of Sound.

WHO IS THE SINGER ?

[leonvaneck]

Parts of the melody sound a bit like 'Tuesday' by Yazoo - "pack up and drive away, away, pack up and drive away..."

[leoncio41]

don't you think ke sings a bit like david bowie??? I like it hehe

[ANDRES77]

The bass line sounds little bit like "Kraftwerk- The Model"...

Anyway, both are great, Kraftwer & Depeche Mode, all members of DM: Vince Clarke and Alan Wilder....

JE CONNAIS DEPECHE MODE DEPUIS 1981 ET JE DECOUVRE CET AVANT GROUPE INCONNU POUR MOI, COMPOSITION OF SOUND, C'EST INTERESSANT CES PETITS MORCEAUX INEDITS SANS DAVE GAHAN MAIS AVEC VINCE CLARCK. C'EST TOUT A FAIT DANS LE STYLE DU DEBUT DE DEPECHE MODE.

In 1980 composition of sound are

Vince clarke-voice keyboards

Andy fletcher-keyboards

Martin gore-keyboards

This is a Depeche Mode song performed by a cover band. Do your research and you will see.. But appreciate the upload for the clarity of lyrics if you can decipher.

I speak 100%

[Thumelikar]

[DMnight]

[lookformore]

Vince Clarke, like he never tries now...

But he did well in: Rapture.

I like him.

Erasure, Depeche, Yazz...

He´s a genius.

[tarantino82]

this song was never recorded in a studio, the only available version of this song is the live one, sorry but nice try...

[WWFWWECW]

these songs wasnt done in a studio no... but they were done in the front room of vinces house, with the members at the time as little demos
