The instagram account of the Santa Barbara Sound Design studio revealed a photo showing how Depeche Mode left the studio after having recorded there for 6 weeks (as we reported earlier last month).

The photo itself, which you can see in its full glory below, shows a lot of cabling modular synths and other gear. Nothing special really, but it’s a ‘hope giving sign we’ll get something good’ as a fan eloquently put it. But we already know what you expect, don’t we?

Enjoy!

That time when Depeche Mode came for six weeks last month! #analogmodularsynth #moog #synth #electronic #music #80’s

Why we ask

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
