Actually what gives that impression is that the Director of the music video of Get The Balance Right who didn't knew Depeche Mode very well thought Alan was the singer so he filmed him more than Dave. But C Fonseca is right Dave sings on Get The Balance Right just like he sings in all the other DM songs (where Martin doesn't sing) except maybe in tracks like Behind The Wheel where Martin & Dave sing together.

7:30 Alan was so done with the interview but too much of a gentleman to walk out. lol

The journo starts the int the worst way possible. He obviously didn´t care to do any research. Many musicians would take a piss of him. Alan is a perfect gentleman. I grew up in Prague, behind the iron curtain and even I knew DM weren´t taken seriously in the UK. But they became huge in Germany and Switzerland. Then France, Italy, Austria, Sweden. And they were massive is Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Poland. Then I found out they were huge in Latin America, too. Why? I like New Order. How many times toured New Order Prague? Never! While Depeche Mode have played in Prague about 9 times. There was something mystical about them. The music. The image. They were neither pop, nor alternative. They did things their way and were somehow able to connect with fans all around the world. And they went to play live to countries where other big bands don´t bother to go.

Nobody better in the world at putting sounds and melodies together than Depeche Mode. Add in Martin’s lyrics and Dave’s voice and you really do have something very special. I’ve been a fan since 1981 and seen them three times live. I was at the Rose Bowl in 1988.

I Absolutely Adore Alan.

What a douce way to start an interview: You’re not popular You play more than keyboards? Compares you to Georgia Satellites Your synthpop genre is dying And the whole time people are screaming for Alan

Alan wilder is so awesome i love him so much he put up with the TV presenter almost 9 minutes and he was very uncomfortable as he didn't leave or hit him.

In hindsight, during 1987-1993 they were in their most creative golden period, especially with respect to Alan's production and his innovative soundscapes. So the answer is no, the future of synth was not in danger of becoming obsolete. lol.

I agree with you completely. Dave seemed to be fine with Alan, but then he got into his drugged out Jesus phase during "Songs of Faith and Devotion", and became essentially useless. The tag-team of Gore and Fletch reeked of professional envy. Alan was a threat to them. Fletch's contribution to the musicality of the band still remains a rhetorical question. Gore is a good songwriter, but appears extremely insecure. He tried too hard to be dead sexy during his black leather bondage days 😁

He doesn't sing lead on "Get The Balance Right." That was an error with the videographer, who assumed that Alan was the lead singer because he was the most confident.
