Revision as of 00:05, 11 March 2015
This section contains demos which are commonly attributed to Depeche Mode or one of their solo members, but are really other artists' demos or tracks. This is not necessarily an exhaustive list of fake demos and tracks.
Will The New Baby Grow
- This track is attributed to French Look, but is commonly accepted as fake. Appears on the "Rarities Of Mode" CD bootleg, but this one is a higher-quality version transferred from a tape. The actual performer is unknown.
Return To Oberkorn (Instrumental)
- An instrumental bearing some musical resemblance to Oberkorn (It's A Small Town), but it's not Depeche Mode. Appears on the "Rarities Of Mode" CD bootleg. The actual performer is unknown.
Transcanadian Track (Instrumental)
- Another instrumental attributed to Depeche Mode. Appears on the "Rarities Of Mode" CD bootleg. The actual performer is unknown.
Nodisco (Instrumental)
- A very good instrumental cover apparently done by "Depeche's Cover", appearing on a release titled Nodisco 12". Not sure if it's actually vinyl-sourced or not; there are the occasional light pops & clicks, so it may truly be. I have seen this claimed to be a demo on one bootleg and it was in much worse quality than this MP3 below. If somebody happens to have a lossless version of this track or knows who the artist is, please feel free to email me.
Get The Balance Right (Instrumental)
- This is a fan-made instrumental cover version, not a real demo. There are many instrumental cover / "demo" versions, but this one was occasionally thought as genuine given its closeness in melody and overall sound to the real track. The actual performer is unknown.
Treadmill Of Time
- This track is falsely claimed to be Alan Wilder's circa 1981. The actual performer is unknown.
Here To Have Fun
- This track is falsely claimed to be Alan Wilder's circa 1981. The actual performer is unknown.
Chart Rundown
- This track is falsely claimed to be Alan Wilder's circa 1981. The actual performer is unknown.
Postulate
- A track claimed to be Recoil is actually Clock Bird by Minimal Compact. Appears on the "Rarities Of Mode" CD bootleg in dreadful quality.
Shake The Disease (Martin's Demo Version Instrumental)
- This is a very well made instrumental cover of Martin's original demo. It appears on the CD-R bootleg Shake The Disease (20 Years Edition). The actual performer is unknown. If somebody happens to have a lossless version of this track or knows who the artist is, please feel free to email me.
DX5 on YouTube also created a very good cover version:

Black Celebration (Khoa Ho Version)
- This is Khoa Ho's piano cover of Black Celebration, appearing on "MODEified 1 - The Strangest Devotion". It's not bad. I've seen it claimed to be Alan Wilder's demo on some bootleg, obviously false given that it doesn't sound like him and that Martin wrote the song, anyway.
Mother Me / Monghi
- This song circulates as an instrumental track, but it seems to be Monghi by Vienna. The real "Mother Me" demo has vocals and a demo exists on cassette, but it does not circulate. Appears on the "Rarities Of Mode" CD bootleg in dreadful quality.
Dirty Alright Now
- A terrible track claimed to be a demo of Dave's from 1992 - fat chance, right? Appears on the "Rarities Of Mode" CD bootleg. The actual performer is unknown.
Take A Look At Me Now
- Another obviously fake track, again said to be Dave's from 1992. Yeah, right! How do rumors like this begin? Appears on the "Rarities Of Mode" CD bootleg. The actual performer is unknown.
For Joanne
- A track claimed to be one of Dave's demos from 1992 is actually Joanne by Wall Of Voodoo. Appears on the "Rarities Of Mode" CD bootleg in dreadful quality.
