Depeche Mode - World In My Eyes (Venusnote Mix)

"World In My Eyes" is a fantastic song by "Depeche Mode". It was released in 1990 from their seventh studio album "Violator". The song peaked at No. 2 in Denmark and Spain, No. 17 on the UK Singles Chart, and No. 52 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
"Depeche Mode" is an English electronic music band formed 1980 in Basildon, Essex, and named after a popular French fashion magazine. The group's original line-up consisted of Dave Gahan (lead vocals, occasional songwriter since 2005) Martin Gore (keyboards, guitar, vocals, chief songwriter after 1981) Andy Fletcher (keyboards) and Vince Clarke (keyboards, and chief songwriter from 1980 until 1981).
The band released their debut record "Speak & Spell" in 1981, bringing them into the British new-wave scene. Soon after the release of the album, Clarke decided to quit the band, leaving them to record their next album, 1982's "A Broken Frame", as a trio. Gore took over lead songwriting duties and, later in 1982, Alan Wilder (keyboards, drums, occasional songwriter) officially joined the band to fill Clarke's spot, thus establishing a line-up that would continue for the next thirteen years.
1983's groundbreaking "Construction Time Again" and 1984's "Some Great Reward" gained the band extensive popularity in the U.S. The subsequent releases of 1986's "Black Celebration, and 1987's "Music For The Masses", established them as a dominant force on the mainstream electronic music scene. A highlight of this era was the band's concert at the Pasadena Rose Bowl, titled "101," where they drew a crowd in excess of 60000 people. The latter end of the U.S. tour was recorded and released on VHS video, and was titled "101."
In the new decade, "Depeche Mode" released 1990's "Violator," which was a massive mainstream success. The subsequent album, 1993's "Songs Of Faith And Devotion" and the supporting "Devotional Tour," exacerbated tensions within the band to the point where Alan Wilder quit in 1995, leading to intense media and fan speculation that the band would split.
Now, a trio once again, the band released "Ultra" in 1997. This album was recorded during the height of Dave Gahan's near-fatal drug abuse, Martin Gore's alcoholism and seizures, along with Andrew Fletcher's bout with serious depressions. For these reasons, there was no worldwide tour for this album.
The release of 2001's "Exciter" confirmed "Depeche Mode's" willingness to remain together, the subsequent and very successful. The "Exciter Tour" was their first tour in support of an original album since 1993.
Since Andrew Fletcher's death in 2022, Martin Gore and Dave Gahan are alone as the band.
"Depeche Mode" have had fifty songs in the UK Singles Chart and thirteen top 10 albums in the UK charts, two of which debuted at No. 1. The band have to this day sold over 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the most commercially successful electronic bands and one of the world's best-selling music artists. VH1 ranked "Depeche Mode" at No. 98 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists Of All Time". Enjoy the mix.
