Depeche Mode-esque - Why do you do? By Dr Strangelove now known as Analog-Angel.

Depeche Mode type Synth Band from the early 90's from Glasgow, Scotland. The Band were called "Dr Strangelove" but they are now BACK with new tracks and a new name. Dr Strangelove are now known as Analog Angel.

Unfortunately this is the only surviving footage on VHS. The tape had been stored away until Robert Marshall (the leather jacket wearing rocker in the video (and also the keyboard player)) dug it out and copied it onto DVD then converted by a friend of his and posted here on You-Tube.

This song was actually used on a demo tape and submitted to Mute in the early 90's.

Unfortunately the lead singer of the band sounded a bit to similar to another singer of a group that had been signed to Mute Records a decade earlier (no prizes for guessing that band).

Check out www.analog-angel.com for their new tracks.

it is a good song but it does not by any means be compared with dm the song it to simple no layers the guy has the voice a bit like dave but the main reason that i knew i was not dm was the quality as i said before no layers no good fx pannings and it was no mistake the whole in chains thing they simply took advantage and knwe everybody wanted to hear the new dm album thats why i dislike them there are other means of showing your music other than jumping on the dm train btw check out p.words

Excuse me Viggo. Where does it say that this is DM? If you look at the title..."Depeche Mode-esque". Meaning "a bit like DM".

The video was put up over 2 years ago and was made during the mid 90's so that makes it at least 15 years old. Same age as your mental age?

Let's hear one of your tracks then?????

In fact all the mp3 tracks available at the analog angels (the current reformed name) are rather good.

Why do I do is a wonderful piece of synth pop. Just wonderful.

And it is rather depeche.. Well, when I say rather. It's exactly the same. Not that that's such a bad thing.

[Satyanass]

The Depeche Mode comparison is a valid one but remember Analogue Angel sound like the DM of yesterday (which is what i miss about DM). If you listen to DM's newer tracks and then their older tracks which do you prefer?

Personally i miss the old DM and i am sure that Analogue Angel will fill the gap that DM left behind. Hope that makes sense.

same here... Analog Angel brings nostalgia with their catchy and dark songs. It's something that a lot of people are looking for in music there days. Hope some you guys who live in Glasgow area will see them live at PIVO PIVO or The Box.

I saw them last night and they were very good.

Check out the Analog Angel website and listen to "High Heels", "Consequences of Yesterday" and of course "Why Do You Do". I was very impressed by them.

I also want to say that Analog Angel AREN'T trying to be DM. They just like dark electronic music so they will have people put a DM label on them. If you want DM cover band then go check out a DM cover band. Then come back and listen to Analog Angel when you have had your fill.

They are NOT jumping on any DM train - check the date when this video was put on YouTube. More than a year before the release of DM new album.

Also, the song/video is almost 20 years old.

Check out the new material before judging.

There is another version on here where the person who put it on as "In Chains" has apologized for her mistake.

Some people should check their facts before posting!!

Jesus, whats your problem, Im truly one of the biggest Depeche fans and I admire that this band have songs of this caliber, this song is up to par to Depeche Mode.

Dont be a fan boy and recognize quality regarding who creates it

[JBpollok]

New album is available on cd and download from the band website and also at Glory & Honour Records

[chichiboypumpi]

IF THEYRE A TRIBUTE BAND, THEY ARE THE BEST SO FAR, high priests of the DM temple unlike those violators from brazil and other crap cover/tribute band

[PrinzeschenKitty]

Funny.

Никто из них не похож ни на одного участника Депеш мод. Просто смешно
