In audio production, '''sampling''' refers to the use of a portion (or sample) from a sound recording within another recording. As pioneers of the {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_music electronic music}} {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_genre genre}} in the early 1980s, [[Depeche Mode]] were among the most prolific acts to make use of {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(music) sampling}} technology within a traditional {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_music pop music}} format. Among the thousands of original samples recorded and utilized by Depeche Mode to enhance the atmosphere of their musical output are many that originated elsewhere, including brief passages of musical recordings by other artists, snippets of audio from television shows, radio broadcasts, films, environmental sounds, and more. Analysis of these '''sample sources''' and how they are manipulated is a popular topic of discussion amongst fans of the group.

This page aims to document all verifiable sound sources for many of the musical parts used by Depeche Mode in the production of their studio albums, official remixes, live performances, and other works released between 1986 and 1998.
 
Due to the manipulated nature of the samples described in this article, there is unavoidable potential for error or sample misattribution. To ensure accuracy, this article strives to use verified quotes from band members and recording personnel with citations wherever possible, audio examples, and independent research voluntarily contributed by Depeche Mode and Recoil fans worldwide. This article provides an interesting document on this topic in a tabular format that is organized, well-researched, and reasonably accurate. '''Please bear in mind that due to the limited number of relevant quotes for each sample from band members or associates involved in producing the music described on this page, audio samples that lack official confirmation are not guaranteed to be accurate.'''
 
This article differentiates samples by origin: '''Self-made samples''', which describe any material initially recorded by Depeche Mode or Recoil, and '''Sourced samples''', which describe samples not initially recorded by either group. In addition to confirmed samples, this article also covers samples commonly misreported as having been used but directly refuted by a member or associate of Depeche Mode or Recoil.

|artist=[[Depeche Mode]]
|releaseyear=1986
|smsample1=Guitar-like pluck
|smsnotes1=A brief "plucked" guitar-like sound reminiscent of a guitar or processed piano sample is layered with a bass part to form the bassline. Notably, this sample is also used to play a four note sequence as a fill sporadically throughout {{s|But Not Tonight}}.
|ssample1=Moan-like vocal sample
|ssource1='''The Chanters - "She Wants To Mambo"''' - 1954
|sstatus1=OC
|snotes1=A feminine "moan" vocal following the second chorus of "She Wants To Mambo" is sampled and played in a descending two note passage processed with {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equalization_(audio) EQ}} for added top-end during the chorus sections of {{s|A Question Of Time}}. {{MLG}} confirmed the use of the sample in the August 1986 issue of ''Electronics & Music Maker'':
 
<blockquote>It's not that audible, though. It's a sample from a record called "She Wants to Mambo", an old doo-wop disc. At the end of each {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_structure#Verse verse}}, the woman who sings sort of moans. We sampled this moan and played it up a few notes, which made it sound like a girl moaning. We used it on the {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_structure#Chorus_or_refrain chorus}} section of "A Question of Time".<ref>Source: [http://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/modes-of-operation/1937 Muzines.co.uk : Articles : Modes Of Operation (''Electronics & Music Maker'', August 1986)]</ref></blockquote>
 
In addition to its use in the chorus sections, the sample is also used as a unique "Wha-, wha-, wha-" vocal-like hit that is played repetitively on every step and half step following the percussion {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_(music) fill}} during the {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_structure#Introduction intro}} and throughout the song's {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_structure#Conclusion_or_outro outro}}. Rather than playing out from start to finish as it does during the chorus sections, the sample is played with a fast {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(music)#ADSR decay}} five notes down from its root key and detuned slightly to form the unique rhythmic hit.
|sexample1=ss-AQOT-The-Chanters-She-Wants-To-Mambo.mp3
|sexamplenotes1=In this example, a section of audio from The Chanters' "She Wants To Mambo" featuring a feminine moan is sampled, trimmed, and allocated across the keys of a keyboard to be played back as a melodic part, and is then compared to the center channel of the 2006 5.1 reissue of "A Question Of Time" containing the relevant part. Next, the sample is played back once per beat at a reduced pitch with a short decay time, creating a repeated "wha-, wha-" rhythm that can be heard during the opening and closing bars of the song.

|smsnotes2=An exploding {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireworks firework}} sound recorded on {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night 5 November}} 1985 by [[Gareth Jones]] in the Westside studio car park<ref name="ShuntBCEd"></ref> is used as a unique drum fill alternative throughout {{S|Stripped}}. [[Daniel Miller]] describes the recording process of this sound in the 2006 ''Black Celebration'' remaster documentary:
 
<blockquote>It was rockets that we were doing, so we thought, if we angled them at a fairly low angle, we could set up a series of microphones and we would still be able to pick up the sound as it traveled along. If we straight up, we would have got just one sound, it would just have sort of disappeared, so we did that. We set up a sort of bottle at a very narrow angle and had, like, 5 microphones maybe, at, I don't know, 15 feet apart, something like that.</blockquote>
 
Other notable uses of this sample include {{S|Breathing In Fumes|U}}, the final moments of {{s|Pimpf}} (where it is layered with a large choir stab and played several notes down from its root key) and various live performances of {{S|Never Let Me Down Again}}.
|smsample3=Tom drums
|smsnotes3=A series of {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom-tom_drum tom drums}} with a unique "roomy" quality occur throughout {{S|Stripped|U}}. [[Alan Wilder]] describes the recording of this sound in a 1998 editorial on {{Shunt}}, the official [[Recoil]] project website: "[...] A hired drum kit was also set up in the large reception area of Westside and used to sample individual sounds, most notably the distinctive toms with their special ambience."<ref name="ShuntBCEd"></ref>

The loop is also present on [[Martin L. Gore|Martin Gore's]] demo recording. Wilder confirms the origin of the sample in a summary of the Emulator II lot listing on ''The Alan Wilder / Depeche Mode Collection'' auction site:
<blockquote>I remember when we first inserted the huge floppy disc into the [Emulator I] and listened to the ‘Motorbike Idling’ sound (which later became the mainstay rhythm behind the song "Stripped"), I was hooked.<ref>Source: {{EL|http://auction.recoil.co.uk/emu-emulator-ii/ Emulator I}} - ''The Alan Wilder / Depeche Mode Collection''.</ref></blockquote>

|smsample1=Guitar riff
|smsnotes1=In a 4 July 2019 interview with ''Super Deluxe Edition'', ''[[Music For The Masses]]'' co-producer [[Dave Bascombe]] recalled the recording process for the guitar riff:
 
<blockquote>[...] I remember [[Martin L. Gore|Martin]] had his guitar, and it’s used quite a bit... the beginning of "Never Let Me Down [Again]" for example... What a wonderful, happy accident that was. It was supposed to start with the {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snare_drum snare}} drum and then go straight in, but because of the nature of technology at the time, the guitar [riff] was played, then we sampled it into the {{EL|http://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/synclav.php Synclavier}} and it just kicked off as soon as it got code at the beginning of the track and we all went ‘Wow, that's great’, so that was an accident.<ref name="DBASCOMBE">Source: [http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/interview/producer-dave-bascombe-on-depeche-modes-music-for-the-masses/ ''Super Deluxe Edition'' July 4, 2019 Producer Dave Bascombe on Depeche Mode's 'Music For The Masses']</ref></blockquote>
|smsample2=Lead melody
|smsnotes2=The lead melody is comprised of a plucked guitar-like sample combined with a vocal-like pad with a short {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_(music) loop}} (itself derived from a non-looped sample that is layered with another vocal-like sound to intensify the final four bars of each verse section in "I Want You Now"). The resulting voice is mixed with {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverberation reverb}} to produce the textured, "roomy" effect heard on the album version of {{s|Never Let Me Down Again}}. For live use, the part is played back comparatively dry.
 
Other notable appearances of the guitar-like sample include a two-note {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_(music) fill}} during the verses of {{s|Strangelove}}, the lead melody heard throughout the "Spanish Taster" mix of {{s|To Have And To Hold}}, and a verse melody in {{S|Blue Dress}}. In addition to its use in {{s|Never Let Me Down Again|U}} and {{s|I Want You Now}}, the aforementioned solo vocal-like pad is also heard during the {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_structure#Chorus_or_refrain chorus}} sections of {{s|Nothing}}.
|smsample3=Exploding firework
|smsnotes3=An exploding {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireworks firework}} sound originally {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(music) sampled}} for use with {{s|Stripped}} is occasionally played on the final note during live performances of {{s|Never Let Me Down Again|U}}. Other notable uses of this sample include the final moments of {{s|Pimpf}}, where it is layered with a large female-esque choir stab and played several notes down from its original key.
|smsample4=Synth bass
|smsnotes4=A synthesized bass layer audible throughout "Never Let Me Down Again" is likely derived from the {{EL|https://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/wave.php PPG Wave 2.3}} wavetable "031 Piano/Sax". Notably, A similar synthesizer bass drone originally recorded for use with {{s|Policy Of Truth}} is layered with this sound as it was performed during live performances on the 1993-1994 [[:Category:1993 Devotional Tour|Devotional]] and [[:Category:1994 Exotic Tour|Exotic]] tours.

|smsample1=ARP 2600 bass sequence
|smsnotes1=Wilder describes the production of this bass part in a Q&A on {{Shunt}}, the official [[Recoil]] website:
 
<blockquote>[[Flood]] and I had been listening to Tangerine Dream and decided to try and create a similar atmosphere for this track. The main sequence was put together using his [ARP 2600] and the sequencer that accompanies the synth. Due to its many velocity and filtering possibilities, this unit has a unique quality which is difficult to replicate using a modern-day sequencer triggered by MIDI. Once it has been set-up, in order for the sequence to be transposed to follow the chord structure of the song, I needed to play in each chord change from an external keyboard. A similar principal was applied to achieve the bubbling bass part which, together with the main sequence, forms the backbone of the track. The charm of the ARP sequencer stems from the slight tuning and timing variations that occur each time the part is played. This gives a sense of fluidity and continual change which seems to suit the song.

|smsample1=Main guitar rhythm
|smsnotes1=The guitar rhythm prominently used during the first two verses is produced by a single note played from a guitar, which is processed and looped to provide a built-in vibrato effect. The sample is then allocated across the keyboard for playback. Though not officially confirmed, a second sample is likely used to produce the faux guitar lick-esque stab with an ascending pitch bend heard on every other bar. Wilder recalled in a Q&A on {{Shunt}}, the official [[Recoil]] website: "It's a single note sampled from a guitar and then looped and played from a keyboard.

|smsample2=Hi-hat loops
|smsnotes2="Policy Of Truth" employs sampled hi-hat rhythms sequenced in an alternating pattern to form dynamic loops. Wilder explains the benefits of using loops over one-shot samples in a Q&A on Shunt, the official Recoil website:
 
<blockquote>[...] No two snare beats sound the same when played by a drummer - I like that. That's why I prefer to use lots of drum loops with all the feel (and flaws) of the original performance. Most of the drum sounds on ''Violator'' were sampled (apart from obvious electro sounds) but the rhythms were still programmed. Some hi-hat patterns ("[Policy Of Truth]" for example) were played and sampled as loops and in the case of "Halo" and "Clean" it's all loops. Again, I prefer the looped parts because of the performance element.<ref name="shuntVIO">Source: [http://oldsite.recoil.co.uk/forum/qa/dmviol.htm Shunt Q&A: ARCHIVES : DEPECHE MODE : VIOLATOR]</ref></blockquote>

<blockquote>
'''Rob Bell''': The riff, there's like three or four parts that are like sort of stacked in very tightly in the mix. I assume there's some really subjective aesthetic thing going on where you're just like, "It should sound like striking the edge of a glass bottle..." [...]
 
'''Martin Gore''': I think it's more organic than that. I think part of the sounds that you're talking about are samples that we... even during ''[[Violator]]'' we were doing quite a bit of sampling, so it probably came from some weird Asian instrument sample CD or a classical Asian music CD, with a [pitch] bend in it.<ref>Source: [https://dmlive.wiki/wiki/2016-01-25_The_RobCast,_Los_Angeles,_CA,_USA 2016-01-25] The RobCast 2016-01-25 Martin Gore interview</ref>
</blockquote>
 
The sample library or classical release in question that was sampled for the main riff components would have been in circulation by 1989. The riff is comprised of two looped samples, one with a natural built-in pitch bend and a short loop, and one without a pitch bend with an equally short loop.

<blockquote>With experimentation still prevalent, the elementary sounds for the 3rd single, "Condemnation" were recorded in the basement of the Madrid villa with one person banging a flight case, another clapping and a third scraping the wall with a tambourine.
 
The vocals - which were to have a 'barbershop choir meets gospel Elvis Presley' flavour - proved that [[Depeche Mode]] had not abandoned their desire to find different and exciting ways of producing music. Built up track by track, individual takes were sung by (mainly) [[Martin L. Gore|Martin]] and (sometimes) Alan and then manipulated using vari-speed to produce very low and very high pitches. Once added to [[Dave Gahan|Dave's]] lead vocal, the resulting close harmonies provided the barbershop body of the track."<ref>Source: [http://oldsite.recoil.co.uk/forum/qa/dlives.htm Shunt Q&A: ARCHIVES : EDITORIAL : DM Singles 86-98]</ref>

Wilder describes the recording of this particular part in a Q&A on {{Shunt}}, the official [[Recoil]] website: "15 people (tape op's, studio secretaries, the cook etc...) multitracked 6 times making a total of 90 voices + delays and reverbs.

|smsample1=Double-tracked "splang" guitar chord
|smsnotes1=A series of four unique guitar chords are utilised as stabs at the start of each bar during the chorus sections of {{S|In Your Room}}. Wilder describes the composition of this sound in a Q&A on {{Shunt}}, the official [[Recoil]] website:
 
<blockquote>Affectionately known (to me anyway) as 'Splang' rather than 'twoo, twaa and twee', the sound is derived from a guitar. Each chord was sampled individually and then double-tracked with a second but different guitar sound. There is also a string/choir pad (another backwards sound) playing the same chords in the background.<ref name="shuntSOFAD"></ref>
|smsample4=Textured ambient noise pad (looped)
|smsnotes4=A textured loop used sporadically during the intro and first verse of "In Your Room" is a brief sample of ambient noise with audible wind chimes in the background, which produces a "grainy" textured pad when reversed. The sample is reversed and subsequently looped, then transposed down several notes from its original key.
|smsample5="Ah" vocals
|smsnotes5=A series of self-made solo vocal "ahh" samples are layered with a selection of samples derived from Emulator II factory library disk #33 "Voices" to produce a lush choir used during the second verse of "In Your Room" as it was performed on the [[:Category:1993 Devotional Tour|Devotional]] and [[:Category:2017-2018 Global Spirit Tour|Global Spirit]] tours. Notably, these vocal parts are also utilised for the outro choir melody of {{S|Enjoy The Silence}}, a quietly-mixed melody in the outro of {{S|World In My Eyes}}, choir stabs during the first chorus of {{S|Halo}}, {{S|Sibeling}}, {{S|Policy Of Truth}}, and the solo vocal melody prominently used throughout {{S|Memphisto}}.
|ssample1=Drum loop
|ssource1='''{{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusty_Bryant Rusty Bryant}} - "Fire Eater"''' - 1971
|sstatus1=C
|snotes1=A drum break derived from Rusty Bryant's "Fire Eater" is heard throughout "In Your Room" starting from the second verse. The loop is sequenced to play in a different way from how it was originally performed:
 
#Bar one: The loop repeats on every beat for three beats, and is then allowed to play uninterrupted for the last two beats
#Bar two: The loop repeats on every beat for two beats, and is then allowed to play uninterrupted for the last three beats
#Bar three: The loop is allowed to play uninterrupted for the entirety of bar three
#Bar four: The loop repeats on every beat for two beats, and is then allowed to play uninterrupted for the last three beats
 
The resulting sequence is looped to repeat every four bars throughout the verses and chorus sections. As the verse sections of the album version of "In Your Room" include an additional bar following the fourth line to accommodate [[Martin L. Gore|Martin Gore's]] ethereal vocal "ahs", the timing of the loop relative to the music changes naturally as the verse progresses, lending a "live" quality to the sequenced loop.

|sstatus1=C
|snotes1=An ambient sound effect derived from the "Ancient Noise FX 01 78-01" sample present in Sony Media Software's 1995 ''Methods Of Mayhem: Industrial Toolkit'' is utilised during the middle eight section of {{S|It's No Good}} in the moments prior to the repetition of the first verse. The sound effect can be described as an ambient environmental recording of an active electrical circuit or device emitting a buzzing sound while a bubbling effect from nearby laboratory equipment is heard in the background. The sample as heard in the sample library may have originated from a film (likely a horror or monster movie released prior to 1960).
