Depeche Mode Songs of Faith and Devotion funny interview recorded at Ministry of Sound in 1993 to promote the release of the album.
Songs of Faith and Devotion is the eighth studio album by English electronic music band Depeche Mode. It was first released on 22 March 1993 in the United Kingdom by Mute Records and a day later in the United States by Sire Records and Reprise Records. The album incorporated a more aggressive, darker rock-oriented tone than its predecessor Violator (1990), largely influenced by the emerging alternative rock and grunge scenes in the United States.
Upon its release, Songs of Faith and Devotion reached number one in several countries, and became the first Depeche Mode album to debut atop the charts in both the UK and the US. To support the album, Depeche Mode embarked on the fourteen-month-long Devotional Tour, the largest tour they had ever undertaken to that date.
Recording the album and the subsequent tour exacerbated growing tensions and difficulties within the band, prompting Alan Wilder to quit, making this album the final one with him as a band member. The ordeal had exhausted their creative output following the enormous success they had enjoyed with Violator, leading to rumours and media speculation that the band would split. Depeche Mode subsequently recovered from the experience, and released Ultra in 1997.

![Depeche Mode - LTW Twentieth Century Box Documentary 1981
Depeche Mode documentary and interview by LTW from early years, Speak and Spell era.
Happy Birthday Vince Clarke! (3rd July 1960)
London Weekend Television (LWT) was the ITV network franchise holder for Greater London and the Home Counties at weekends, broadcasting from Fridays at 5.15 pm (7:00 pm until 1982) to Monday mornings at 6:00 am.[1] From 1968 until 1992, when LWTs weekday counterpart was Thames Television, there was an on-screen handover to and from LWT when these times arrived; from 1993 to 2002, when LWTs weekday counterpart was Carlton Television, the transfer occurred invisibly during a commercial break as Carlton and LWT shared studio and transmission facilities.
Neither did LWT neglect other responsibilities: it established the long-running Sunday lunchtime political series Weekend World and a variety of regional programmes including award-winning current affairs series The London Programme and the light-hearted magazine show The Six OClock Show. It also pioneered multicultural programming via the work of the in-house London Minorities Unit, which produced Gay Life, the worlds first gay television series, and the youth documentary series Twentieth Century Box.
