Writing in Smash Hits, Peter Silverton observed that A Broken Frame, in contrast to the group's early post-Clarke singles which he thought showed "a lack of purpose", "makes a virtue of their tinkly-bonk whimsy".[8] In contrast, Melody Maker wrote that, although "ambitious and bold", "A Cleaved Frame – as its name suggests – marks the end of a beautiful dream", a comment on the divergence of main songwriter Clarke. Reviewer Steve Sutherland considered the songs "daft aspirations to art", the anthology'due south musical and thematic "larcenies" sounding like "puerile infatuations papering over anonymity". At the aforementioned time, Sutherland best-selling that the group'southward increasing complexity "sounds less the result of exterior persuasion than an understandable, natural development", although he finally ended that Depeche Mode remain (in contrast to Clarke's new group Yazoo) "essentially vacuous".[xi]

The comments of Noise! magazine's "DH" (almost likely Noise! correspondent Dave Henderson) showed greater prescience. "DH" said that the album "falls together well and shows we tin expect a lot more from the clean cut quartet", adding "[a]t times it reaches high points far exceeding their first album."[12]

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Ned Raggett described A Cleaved Frame equally "a notably more aggressive endeavor than the pure popular/disco of the ring's debut", with much of the album "forsaking earlier sprightliness... for more melancholy reflections nigh love gone wrong". He added: "More complex arrangements and juxtaposed sounds, such every bit the sparkle of breaking glass in 'Leave in Silence', assist give this underrated album even more than of an intriguing, unexpected border."[ane]

In 1990, while promoting their album Violator, songwriter Martin Gore lamented parts of the album, saying, "I regret all that sickly boy-next-door stuff of the early days... musically A Cleaved Frame was a mish-mash".[thirteen]

Cover image [edit]

Despite being a photograph, the encompass artwork is intended to resemble a painting. Information technology depicts a woman cutting grain in an East Anglian field, well-nigh Duxford in Cambridgeshire. It was taken by Brian Griffin (who had previously taken the cover photograph for Speak & Spell and press photos for the ring) using a mixture of natural and artificial lighting. Griffin cited as inspirations the socialist realism of Soviet Russia, particularly the work of Kazimir Malevich, and German Romanticism.[14] [xv] Griffin has displayed on his website a gallery of alternative images from the aforementioned shoot.[16] Later releases of the album on vinyl (2007) and meaty disc (2009) feature slightly dissimilar takes of the shot. It was also featured on the embrace of Life 's 1990 edition of "World's Best Photographs 1980–1990".[17]

The bout began in October 1982 in Chippenham, England. The jaunt eventually reached 12 countries, which included the group's first shows in Asia, before wrapping up with a one-off festival appearance in Schüttorf, Westward Germany in May 1983.

Release Mag [27]

In 2015, Greek synth-popular duo Marsheaux released a consummate comprehend version of A Broken Frame on Undo Records. While the reviewer for Release Mag wrote that this version was not "anything essential" but well done, other reviews were more detailed.[27] The Electricity Society found influences of And 1 in the embrace of "The Sun & the Rainfall" and concluded that Marsheaux had "used unconventional sounds and vocals to make this record their own".[28] Reviews from Germany noted that Marsheaux had elaborated on the assets and downsides of the original release. According to Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, the kitschy sides of the early Depeche Way album were deliberately uncovered in tracks similar "The Pregnant of Love", while the Sonic Seducer lauded Marsheaux'south darker and slower estimation of this song.[29] [30]
