Vaag – Depeche Mode

The song “Depeche Mode” by “Vaag” is taken from the album “Happy Place”. “Depeche Mode” is a very, very experimental electronic track with a lot of blips and blops and klonks. When I heard the ‘song’ for the first time, I neither understood it nor could I recognise it in any way. For me personally, it’s just a series of noises that could also be heard somewhere in the background of a 70s sci-fi film.

The only information I can find about it is on the track’s Bandcamp page, which says: ‘Slow IDM a bit dark.’.

I am the founder and main author of the international synth pop magazine Electrozombies. Since my childhood I have been a devotee of melancholic, gloomy electronic music. Started in the late 70s with minimal electro band Kraftwerk and become a real synth pop fan through Depeche Mode's hit 'People Are People' in 1984.

I took over the depechemodecovers.com website in 2024 and relaunched it. As a big fan of Depeche Mode and cover versions, I dedicate myself passionately to this project.
