Every time I hear Depeche Mode or Pet Shop Boys I immediately think of Germany. Not sure where I acquired that sentiment but is there a link?
I’m well aware that both groups are British and the vocalists accents themselves are clearly British but I’m not sure why I get the idea that this is what popular German music sounded like during that era. Is there something to this? Was there German stylistic elements in their music? I can’t remember if it was something someone told me when I was younger about that style of music or if it’s just a completely made up assumption.
