It’s enough to make fans of (very) early Depeche Mode swoon: Photographic evidence of DM co-founder and current Erasure member Vince Clarke sitting down for dinner with former bandmates Dave Gahan, Martin Gore and Andy Fletcher.
The photo was posted to Facebook tonight by author Tonya Hurley — Clarke’s sister-in-law, who also has collaborated with Clarke musically in the past — about five hours after Clarke tweeted, “Tonight I am dining with the ‘Modes’. Apparently, Fletch is cooking…who knew?”
Clarke, of course, reunited with Gore earlier this year as VCMG. As for Depeche Mode, the band is currently in the studio with an eye toward releasing a new album early next year.

Why the hell is Gahan wearing glasses? Bit old for a hipster phase isnt he?
at 9:29 am
Or just old enough for glasses… :)

Somewhere Andy Bell is having a hissy fit of jealousy, lol.
Seriously who cares about Vince Clarke, he did one record with them over 30 years ago. It would be really exciting if Alan Wilder was at that table or involved in the new record.

You are so right! The new songs + a studio + Wilder + 2 months. It should equal greatness.

Vince Clarke truly is one of the great pop songwriters of the last 20-odd years, but i dont think Depeche Mode would have become the killer band they are if he had stayed. Having said that, i do like Erasure a lot, especially the Chorus album.

Chorus was their peak musically.

Andy Bell was also present, he is the one sat bottom left.
