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. During Alan Wilder's tenure with the group, Depeche Mode were among the most prolific acts to make use of sampling technology within a traditional pop music format.

The analysis of these sample sources and how they are manipulated is a popular topic of discussion amongst fans of both groups.

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."			✖
