Depeche Mode: "Four people is the right number for a pop group. Five looks wrong and three is plain stupid."

FOR DEPECHE Mode, Berlin has become a second home. It's a city which suits their temperament and throws a reflection across their music. Berlin is a strange, eerie place, an island surrounded by a wall and bordered by a no-man's land littered with crosses marking the graves of those who tried to escape from the East and failed. In February Berlin is chilling in every sense, it has an edge and Depeche Mode like that.
