List of Depeche Mode sample sources by album/Songs of Faith and Devotion
Glossary Terms used in this article |
In audio production, sampling refers to the use of a portion (or sample) from a sound within another recording. As pioneers of the electronic music genre, Depeche Mode were among the most prolific acts to make use of sampling technology within a traditional pop music format. Among the many 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.

Information
This page aims to document all verifiable sound sources for many of the musical parts used by Depeche Mode in the production of their 1993 album Songs of Faith and Devotion.
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.

'The Pink Room' was released before 'I Feel [You]' so Lynch couldn't have borrowed it. The fact that Lynch is interested enough to make music at all is rare for a film director. Perhaps he should concentrate even more on music since 'Lost Highway';-)"[2] |

Wilder recalls the recording process in an undated Q&A for Shunt, the official Recoil website: "The strings, brass and marimbas [for ""I Give To You"] were all recorded live – arranged and conducted by Andrew Poppy. Some of the performances (mainly the brass) were so sloppy that we had to put them into samplers afterwards in order to re-tune them and put them in time. You may be surprised to hear that this is not uncommon when hiring classical musicians."[3] |

- ↑ Samples from other Angelo Badalamenti works would see further use on Wilder's 1997 Recoil album Unsound Methods.
- ↑ Notably, this water droplet-like sample would be used to similar effect during the intro and middle eight sections of "Enjoy The Silence".
- ↑ Notably, another sound from "3-Minute Rule" would see use on Recoil's "Last Breath" as featured on Unsound Methods, which was recorded in the years following Wilder's departure from Depeche Mode in 1995.
- ↑ In 1992, the preset was available via Akai S1000/Akai S1100 Sound Library disks SL1064 "Violin Section #1" and S.W.M #2 "Solina 1".
- ↑ The source of these synth bass samples featured throughout "Walking In My Shoes" is currently unknown to the Depeche Mode Live Wiki. The samples, titled "MOOGRESBASS1" & "MOOGUNIBASS1", are believed to have been produced in 1992 at the latest by the late Steve Howell (Hollow Sun, Akai) for the Akai S1000 and S1100 samplers, and were not available via standard factory library disks for the S-Series. The sounds were later included among other synth sounds in a collection of audio files made available for free by Steve Howell on his personal website in September 2003, with the samples in question organised under the "Memorymoog" category. Additionally, the samples were later featured in Zero-G's Nostalgia sample library product, as well as a posthumous sample pack collection of Howell's sounds released for TAL Software's TAL Sampler VST in 2015. If you know the title of the 1992 or earlier Akai S-Series disk these samples were initially available on, please feel free to contact us.

The samples for [Danger 1] were recorded/compiled at a studio in Arnos Grove. The studio was called either Sound Garden or Music Garden Studios (I can't quite remember). A lot of the samples were taken from my own record collection. The guy behind [The Dangerous CD Company] is called Brian Teasdale [...] I first went to his studio around [1991\1992] to record some Hardcore demos. [I] was about 19 years old. When Brian heard the records [I] was sampling from he asked if he could borrow my collection. That's how this sample CD came about. Together with Brian's sister and girlfriend we went to the Frankfurt Musikmesse and launched the CD there.
- ↑ The source of these synth bass samples featured throughout "Walking In My Shoes" is currently unknown to the Depeche Mode Live Wiki. The samples, titled "MOOGRESBASS1" & "MOOGUNIBASS1", are believed to have been produced in 1992 at the latest by the late Steve Howell (Hollow Sun, Akai) for the Akai S1000 and S1100 samplers, and were not available via standard factory library disks for the S-Series. The sounds were later included among other synth sounds in a collection of audio files made available for free by Steve Howell on his personal website in September 2003, with the samples in question organised under the "Memorymoog" category. Additionally, the samples were later featured in Zero-G's Nostalgia sample library product, as well as a posthumous sample pack collection of Howell's sounds released for TAL Software's TAL Sampler VST in 2015. If you know the title of the 1992 or earlier Akai S-Series disk these samples were initially available on, please feel free to contact us.

- ↑ In 1992, the preset was available via Akai S1000/Akai S1100 Sound Library disks SL1064 "Violin Section #1" and S.W.M #2 "Solina 1".
