"My Secret Garden" comes from A Broken Frame, the second Depeche Mode album, put out by Mute on 27 September 1982. It was the first record they made after Vince Clarke left, and with him gone Martin L. Gore wrote the whole album; this one is his, words and music, with Dave Gahan singing lead.
Depeche Mode produced it with Daniel Miller and mixed it themselves, working as a trio. Alan Wilder had been hired to fill Clarke's place on the road, but he had no hand in the recording and only became a full member the month after the album came out, so this is the sound of the stripped-down band finding its own electronic feet.
