The story behind

Blue Dress / Interlude #3, according to DoReSol

The piece Blue Dress / Interlude #3, with a duration of 5:42, is inserted into the sonic narrative of the album Violator by Depeche Mode. This work, released in 1990, marked a turning point for the British band, leading them to broader international recognition. The album's production was handled by the group itself along with Mark Ellis Flood, and all compositions bear the signature of Martin Gore.

The context of Violator is set in a period where Depeche Mode had already released successful singles such as Personal Jesus and Enjoy the Silence. The album, released by Mute in the UK and Reprise/Sire in the United States, experienced a significant commercial impact, selling two million copies in its first year in North America. The band promoted this material during the World Violation Tour, sharing the stage with acts like Nitzer Ebb and Electronic. The band, originally formed in Basildon, Essex, UK, in 1980, has been recognized for its pioneering role in electronic music, exploring the use of synthesizers and samplers, and establishing itself as a benchmark for the genre.
