The band's 1981 debut features the classic early singles, "New Life", "Dreaming Of Me" and the signature track, "Just Can't Get Enough". "Speak & Spell" reached the Top Ten in the U.K., earning Gold certification. It is the sole album to feature Vince Clarke as a band member.

"Construction Time Again" is Depeche Mode's third studio album and was released in 1983. It was engineered by Gareth Jones and recorded at John Foxx's Garden studios in London. The album featured the band's first use of a Synclavier; the band members used this instrument to incorporate "found" sound samples from their neighborhood, manipulating them with the Synclavier. The sounds used on the album consisted mainly of hammering anvils, clanging pipes, running water, and other similar sounds.

Depeche Mode’s "Black Celebration" is an emotionally intense, anthemic masterpiece that introduced the classics “Stripped”, “A Question Of Time” and “Black Celebration”. With their fifth studio album, the quartet explores a new sound, earning praise from publications including Rolling Stone, NME and many others. It is widely regarded as one of the most influential albums of the ‘80s. This pivotal recording is included on Spin’s “25 Greatest Albums of All Time”.

The album features heavyweights of Jamaican music and members of The Wailers and Peter Tosh's backing band, Word, Sound and Power.

Essential: a masterpiece of country-rock music
Like a super-stoned campfire jam with an A-list of Cali hippie-rockers – including Joni Mitchell and most of the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and CSNY – this hazy solo project by the altered-consciousness overachiever sounds like it was pretty much made up on the spot.

Two words: Five stars.
The Crosby-Nash subset of CSNY carried with it much of the charm and harmony of the larger group, and together and apart the two singers mined that appeal for several gold albums, especially in the first couple of years after the breakup of CSNY in 1970.

As two of the most distinctive artists from the '60s and '70s given their work in CSNY, Crosby & Nash also did great work as a duo act. Wind on the Water was released in 1975 after the previous year's CSNY reunion tour and the dissolution of their contract at Atlantic. In many respects, this alliance made perfect sense.

Essential: a masterpiece of Country-Folk music.
This self-titled release is one of – if not arguably the – most impressive side project to arise from CSN.

World renowned Irish American group’s third studio album. The Gloaming is four master musicians and one singer, seemingly suspended in time as their music unfurls around them, its tendrils reaching out into every nook and cranny of the room. It’s undoubtedly Irish music - with violinists Martin Hayes and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, guitarist Dennis Cahill, and with Ó Lionáird, one of the greatest contemporary sean-nos singers. But it’s also more than that: pianist and producer Thomas Bartlett steers the music towards a place where modernity and the old world become one. The heart of The Gloaming remains, but there are touches throughout that signal its points of difference.
