A Broken Frame

Description

A Broken Frame is the second studio album by the English new wave band Depeche Mode, released in 1982. After the departure of Vince Clarke, one of the founding members, the rest of the band had to find a replacement for him. The lucky choice was ultimately Alan Wilder (who had just successfully passed the auditions). But he did not take part in the making of the album, because the rest of the band wanted to prove to themselves that they were capable of making an album on their own, without Clarke’s help. David Gahan is the lead singer on all the tracks except "Shouldn't Have Done That," which is a duet with Gore. "Nothing to Fear" and "Further Excerpts From: My Secret Garden" are instrumentals.
