This is Martin Gore, the main songwriter (and occasional singer) for
Depeche Mode ever since Vince Clarke
left. On this mini-album however,
Martin hasn't written a single song himself, which would explain the title
(counterfeit = fake, forgery).
The two first songs could possibly pass for Depeche Mode songs around
86 -
89, while the rest are a bit more diverse
in styles. They're all quite good though, more or less. If you're a DM fan
and like Martin's voice, this may well be something you should check out.
