In this second episode of our brand-new season of The Synth Sounds Of… William Kurk dissects the tech behind the groove-that is, the Moog Minimoog Model D and ARP 2600 that created the synth bassline, as well as the early sampler used for much of the song's iconic sounds. (You can listen to his original demo here.) Wilder heard a dance beat and worked with the rest of the band to turn it into a strange, melancholic pop hit. The song, with its now well-known chorus-"All I ever wanted, all I ever needed is here in my arms"-was intended by songwriter Martin Gore to be a plaintive ballad. Depeche Mode’s Alan Wilder, the band’s keyboardist who created many of their arrangements, had a real Guy Patterson moment upon hearing "Enjoy the Silence."
