Daniel Miller, who had produced Depeche Mode's previous album, voluntarily
stepped away from production duties for this album, citing the growing tension in
the studio that they had experienced during the recording of Black Celebration.
With Miller's approval, the band co-produced the album with David Bascombe, who
had previously worked as a recording engineer with Tears for Fears and Peter
Gabriel.
Band members Andy Fletcher and Martin Gore both explained the album's title was
conceived as a joke. Fletcher said, "The title's ... a bit tongue-in-cheek, really.
Everyone is telling us we should make more commercial music, so that's the
reason we chose that title."[4] According to Gore, the title "was a joke on the
uncommerciality of [the album]. It was anything but music for the masses!
Early music – most commonly defined as the Western art music composed from
the medieval period to the dawn of the Baroque era – is arguably enjoyed on a
more widespread scale than it has ever been. With a dizzying array of festivals,
institutions and period ensembles, it seems like more people than ever feel like
pulling on some hosiery and returning to the Olde Worlde – musically speaking,
that is. In this week’s At Home Guide, we take a look at the major currents of Early
Music as it existed back in the day, and how its revival became a worldwide
movement that fills today’s concert halls – all illustrated by concert videos from the
ever-growing Bachtrack At Home archive.
