@@FlickanIDetKroktaRummet 1. it is just a demo recorded on a Casio at home when his inspiration hit him, but with all the parts of the EP track (synths, bass etc) 2. Martin never release vocal tracks composed by him with other project than DM , Counterfaith is a cover album, the rest are instrumentals ;) 3. Alan was a good orchestrator/sound designer BUT without Martin genius compositions it was no DM after Speak and Spell, composition is outstanding on this track and even Alan said he is not able to do this, this kind of track don't need electronics to be great

This is probably my favorite demo. Martin is a genius.

This is... pure magic. I'm addicted to this demo. And the one from 'Here is the House' and 'Lie to Me'. Shake The Disease is my fav song in the world, and today I discovered this amazing demo. When I listen to it, I can't think. I feel like this song is the world, the only thing that exists. It makes me cry, smile, dance. I love it. It's like a coup de foudre with a song... Martin is a genius, and DM are my life and my saviors

He's a genius song writer Martin Gore , all details already in his head, beautiful melodies with soul and Alan Wilder carried this song to top with his arrangement and sound skills, early 80s , depeche mode was so magical, thanks for this demo video

my favortie era of Depeche Mode. did'nt care for anything they released after this time period.

This really surprised me. Shake the disease is my favourite depeche mode track. I always thought that Martin Gore's demos were only the lead melody and chord structure of the track, which was then taken by Alan, or whatever producer .. who would arrange and provide the accompanying parts. This has more or less all of the melodies and motifs of the released single. The difference being the sound design and production. Thanks for sharing.

Not until Violator. Gore wrote almost everything prior, until the rest of the band asked him to come in with more stripped down songs, so they could have more input

This is the most adorable thing I have EVER heard.

It's almost a completly different element from the released version, and it's AMAZING! I've noticed the intro is completely changed, the drums have different pattern, the snare drum isn't as... "Powerful." I don't quite hear a kick drum... The "Organ," I guess, isn't as quite reverbed, and a little higher pitched. The song overall is calmer. I must say, this is probably my favorite demo!

this reminds me so much of his first album

MASTERPIECE!!

sounds like me in the late 80's on a yamaha porta sound (pss)keyboard with mini keys trying to work this song out, saw much of their brilliance back then already. So much fun working out their top songs by ear.

there are some demos on the sound of universe deluxe set, always nice to see a song evolve from demo to proper album song.... :)

:D i knew tht little part was in it! no one believed me! this is great as it was! =o

Lots of demos of the genius Martin Gore kills the 'Alan Wilder myth'. Lyrics, melodies, chords, synth lines, everything is there. Martin Gore is the only one.

Great

I wish having this demo in higher quality, i enjoy it more than the final relased version. I mean it just so much better nothing wrong about alan he makes songs wonderful just in this case i like the demo more.

Yeah, I know. I think he had a home studio or something, and that's where he recorded it... If I'm not mistaken, the keyboard should be a Yamaha DX 7 (Note the bell sound you hear in the chorus, that kind of gives it away).
