Composition Of Sound /Depeche Mode/ - Ice Machine - Demo

[@DrDoobius]

Andrew Fletcher, who played bass on this demo, passed away today at the age of 60 💔

[@georgejackson4424]

That's what brought me to check out Depeche Mode's earliest music to sort of pay tribute

[@raulmacias5735]

It is so true that the good die young! I still can't believe it! Quote by MENANDER ~ "Whom the Gods love dies young."

Una prueba más de que los Punk Convertidos tomaron la EDM (NRG & Synthpop) de Giorgio⚡Moroder y el conjunto de productores de electrónica moderna (post concreta) de la década 70s: Moroder, Jarre, Lacksman, Tangerine Dreams, YMO, Vangelis, Faltermeyer, Schulze, Pinhas, Gizzi, Tonet, Martín W. & Ian C. (The Human League)...solo por mencionar los más resaltantes, está fue la electrónica que formo a los Punk Pockeros Ingleses de finales del 70s y también a Kraftwerk el cual toma la electrónica de dichos productores para desarraigar de ellos su añejo e improvisado Krautrock & Experimental Düsseldorf.

[@sly31274]

For once, this is NOT a fake. It's a real demo. A real great track, by a legendary band. So enjoy !

[@JaveDMode]

On whose authority? This is without a doubt NOT DM or anyone associated with them.

[@mc77ification]

+Sylvain Adamczyk With the great Voice of Dave Gahan!

[@ludochem]

of course it s DM.

@@JaveDMode this is too experimental for you?

[@paradigmlost7582]

this version is much better than the speak and spell one. These synths at 3:19 are amazing.

This is an amazing music artifact of historical importance.

Fletch playing electric bass on this... OMG! :-o

Still great after 40 years!

[@jankuhnel1221]

This demo is GREAT ♥️

[@alessandroventuridd9159]

Simply wonderful.

[@mc77ification]

Of course it`s Dave!

[@king-a6241]

Great!!!!! I guess there is also Dave's voice✌😎😉

[@ExtendedVersion]

Outstanding

[@mutoidchannel]

very nice demo thanks from Milano

[@MrFarauz]

Simplemente muy agradecido por este aporte histórico, original confirmado !!

[@marekkowalski7265]

Andy r. i. p.

[@TrainmasterCurt]

The bass in this demo has a Joy Division feel, certainly could be 1979

[@perihelion54]

Always great to hear early demos! I like it better than the released version LoL

[@AnalogueAndy]

@tie32101 It's a Boss (Roland) DR55. Vince still has it and has made a fantastic video as part of his 'Analogue Monologue' series, it still has labels on, it was Dave's job to switch patterns during the set. KZbin won't let me do the link but it's vinceclarkemusic

[@pharaoid]

Wonderful!!!!

[@DanionsUnion_80-85]

Would be lovely for the end "The Ice Machine, Ice Machine." to be in the official version, it felt so different listening to that part during the first experience. And why every version of this song is soo good? I listen to this version, the original, the lives, all equally as much as I can

[@hozonkai9967]

I'll say it: This is better than the studio version!

[@FerxBrasil]

Yes... I agree...

[@icewater4723]

[@julimekanika]

aquesta maqueta supera supera la versió del dics, és més màgica. gràcies per l'aportació.

[@prophetate]

It is not a DR55 drummachine in this cover version, it sounds like a electro harmonix drm 32.

[@marioramus9681]

Depeche Mode in the very early Days 1980/81. Dave was 18 when he sang this.

[@Briganteman]

I can hear the Numan influence in this version

[@ronan.pellen]

A fake wouldn't include the line "ice machine" at the very end, that's a detail a faker wouldn't bother to invent!

[@hotubrazil]

Mr. Vincent John Martin, aka Vince Clarke.

[@KTea88]

This is Genuine I have this confirmed by someone who was there at the time.

[@LOLONO666]

this is the origin of life ,,,,

[@wolfen337]

Was this song written by Clarke or Gore?

[@marioramus9681]

Vince Clarke

[@choralone]

Of course its Dave!

[@thomaskenneally219]

Very cool. Reminds me of Turquoise Days. Same 1980 - 1981 approximate time frame, I believe?

[@traciepearce1888]

Good the real thing.Not a copy by someone else.❤️🌹

[@endergamescz5171]

I like it more than DM final version❤

[@crifox16]

this demo is from 1979/1980, martin didn't write songs in that period, in fact ice machine it's written by vince.

[@EtsiJuuret]

Well, what 'bout "Big Muff" & "Tora! Tora! Tora!"? 😂😂😂

[@berndrichter398]

at 2:00 the "past" of "of a past reunion" has a vibrato...didnt noticed that dave sung anytime with vibrato in his voice

[@AnalogueAndy]

Interesting Jonas :-)

[@360Freakoutkid]

Or a KR55? They used that too.

[@jostberg]

Not on this. They made the tape to get gigs and giving to labels.

[@spektrum8740]

Guys it's Dave... Isn't obvious ?

[@ReadxOnly]

Holy crap! O_O

[@stratosfear8966]

Great!!! Anyone can name the string machine used at the end? Maybe ARP solina?

[@spektrum8740]

I think so...cuz it Sounds soo much like the Oxygen one but without phaser effect

[@thecoldheart2012]

A question: Is this original-tape for sale? I'd like to own it! ... okay, I'm only joking... ;) But thanks a lot for posting this gem!

[@ronan.pellen]

Guess what: they were some kids with a beatbox and a bass back then! See my other comment why I don't think it's a fake.

[@julimekanika]

home, dave al principi tenia aquesta tonalitat, cal pensar que això es una maqueta d'aquella època i la veu (i tot plegat) sona diferent. no crec pas que sigui un fake.... encara que tot és possible....

[@antonyhudson711]

I think it's of Germany origin Listen closely to the singing And yes Vince did write it One of my alltime favourites.

[@ludochem]

for those who thinks it s a fake : of course this is depeche mode !!! i called the number and had a chat with dave !

[@christophe9876]

Electro-Harmonix DRM16

[@tonymilburn3169]

If any one thinks this is original - no wAy - try the Bridgehouse gig on KZbin when Mode supported Gadget

[@reynardfox]

Would it be Vince singing on this if indeed it is a demo ..not Dave?

[@EtsiJuuret]

It was a demo-tape they made for the studios Vince & Dave had been visiting

[@lordraiden7]

I would have liked to hear Martin Gore

[@choralone]

Not hard to hear its Dave!

[@cicahazyvilma1304]

depeche, with É like in french ;)

[@tie32101]

What kind of Drum Machine is that?

[@secondhanddaylight]

The drum machine is an electro harmonix drm...not a Dr-55

The sound's too good to be a demo tape. Nice version though.

[@JonatanMartin]

Realment no pinta pas original... Sóna MOLT a fake! Dave no cantava així als inicis!

[@neuromanticx]

Nice rendition but not authentic

[@JaveDMode]

Wow. How anyone can think this is actually Depeche Mode with Dave singing is beyond me. This is so obviously not them.

[@sandania495]

JaveDMode It is Vince Clark who sing in this demo

[@diskochimp]

+JaveDMode Except... it so obviously IS.

[@EtsiJuuret]

​@@sandania495no, it's definitely not Vince! I've heard some of his demos & his vocal one can hear on some Yazoo tracks!

Totally fake!
