Until then there were not many digital synth around. When Alan Wilder was recruted, DM had to wait one more year (1983) before they or better said Alan started to use samplers.

IMO the Vince Clarke Era of DM is my favorite, as it was much more groundbreaking than the later DM stuff, which ended up sounding like Gothic Ballads...still some genius there, but also kinda lame... He must be on his way out to the TRASH!
