Martin L Gore - Counterfeit EP 12" Single

Counterfeit e.p. is the debut solo release from Martin L. Gore, the principal songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of Depeche Mode. Originally released in 1989, the EP showcases a more intimate and personal side of Gore away from the band's electronic sound.

The release features a selection of carefully chosen cover versions, reinterpreted through Gore’s distinctive electronic and atmospheric style. His understated vocals and imaginative arrangements give the songs a dark, emotional quality that fits naturally alongside his work with Depeche Mode.

Featuring tracks including “Compulsion,” “In A Manner Of Speaking,” “Smile In The Crowd,” “Gone” and “Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth,” the EP provides a fascinating insight into Gore’s musical influences and artistic direction.
