I am just writing to say that once I eventually worked out how to use it, it is simplicity itself, and I am living proof that it is simple for blind people to use as well.

Without a shadow of a doubt I will be ordering all and any CD's that you bring out, it is the most perfect way of learning guitar lead that I have ever seen.

Finally, I would like to thank you for all the help I was given along the way, and hope that you bring out many more CD's. Thank you

Scottie

Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough

"Just Can't Get Enough" by Depeche Mode was, arguably, one of the best songs of the 1980s, and very obviously the most popular and famous song on Depeche Mode's debut studio album Speak and Spell. Speak and Spell. A name perhaps derived from a popular educational toy in the 1980s, was released on October 5th, 1981, to critical acclaim in the United Kingdom. The album and its hit single were released in the United States shortly thereafter, both hitting shelves in 1982.

"Just Can't Get Enough" was the final Depeche Mode single to be written by Vince Clarke, who left the band after Speak and Spell was released. The video for "Just Can't Get Enough" was both the first for the band as well as the last video evidence of Clarke's inclusion in it. After Clarke's departure, his songwriting duties were taken up by Martin Gore and David Gahan, the latter being the group's mercurial front-man. Clarke reportedly left the group because he became uncomfortable with how much mainstream success and popularity they were getting, which seems odd because one of his later projects, Erasure, a synth-pop band he created with Andy Bell, was a successful band in and of itself. Clarke, the writer of "Just Can't Get Enough," has gone on record as saying that he's not necessarily fond of the dark and brooding quality of Depeche Mode's discography after he left, but that that reflected his own personal tastes, and not a criticism of the band. For Gore, he has nothing but praise, calling Martin many varieties of a good songwriter.

Though "Just Can't Get Enough" was well received in the United States, it was years later that the band achieved its first solid hit stateside. It was "People are People," a song from Some Great Reward that really captivated the American audiences. Re-released on a North-America Only compilation called, surprisingly enough, People are People, it was the group's first real foothold in America, even though they had achieved lasting success in both Central and Eastern Europe.

Depeche Mode was among the very first electronic bands to come out of England during the New Wave and New Romantic periods in pop music. Using original pop hooks and elaborate and inventive synthesizers, the group's popularity is also evident in what is known as the Futurist school or scene. And, due to their repeated reinvention as well as the true intelligence and beauty behind their music, they remain as popular today as they were in the early 1980s, which is a testament to both their influential nature as well as the skill behind their music. Many stars of electronic music today credit Depeche Mode with helping nurture their sound, and many alternative rock acts, especially those with gothic touches, often discuss Depeche Mode when they list their influences. As of 2006, Depeche Mode is still touring and selling records. It is estimated that the group has sold over 70 million records since forming in the early 1980s.
