Depeche Mode Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Vince Clarke — The entry incorrectly states that 'The Sun and the Rainfall' is on the debut album *Speak & Spell*, when it actually appears on *A Broken Frame*.

Daniel Miller — The entry incorrectly states that Miller's direct production role ended after Construction Time Again (1983), but he also co-produced Some Great Reward (1984).

New Life — The single was released on 13 June 1981, but the correct release date is 25 May 1981.

New Life — The catalogue number for the UK 7" single is given as 7MUTE014, but the correct catalogue number is MUTE014.

Just Can't Get Enough — The song charted on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart in 1981, reaching No. 47. This is incorrect; it charted on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1981, reaching No. 14.

Blasphemous Rumours — The song stems from the times that Martin Gore would go with bandmate Andy Fletcher to the church.

Music for the Masses World Tour — The entry states the tour featured additional keyboardist Dave Clayton, but the band performed as a quartet on the Music for the Masses World Tour with no extra touring musician.
