CD sales have indeed dropped, but that has NOTHING to do with whether they use a Fairlight, Emulator, S6000, Prophecy, Fusion or whatever. It’s because music piracy is up, downloads are the preferred medium and the industry is on a downturn in general. It has nothing at all to do with what instruments they use.

Depeche Mode still sell because they still write great music and they have a massive fan base. I don’t buy their work because the used to use a Fairlight or Emulator.

You are truly showing a complete lack of knowledge of the industry and should therefore look before you leap.

I' m sorry but since 10 years the cd sales have dropped asn for
everybody.
If depeche mode were a new born music group , nobody would buy their
album.
They actually sell because of their PAST.
