Phil Sutcliffe, Q, June 2013
SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST, "the world's leading music industry event". Depeche Mode are onstage in a conference room at Austin Convention Center answering questions about the future of music – "Er, bright," says Andrew "Fletch" Fletcher – and promotion strategy for their new album Delta Machine.

I'd say a lot of people here have boned to Depeche Mode."
