Depeche Mode - Memphisto (Fatherless Child Mix)

“Memphisto“ is an instrumental song produced during the recording of 1990 album Violator by Depeche Mode. It was released as a B-side to the single “Enjoy The Silence“ on 16 January 1990. An uncredited band member tells Poster Seductores magazine in 1990: “We like cinema and we like to create special [atmospheres] with our music. In a way, ’Memphisto’ is our homage to that esoteric cinema.“ Martin Gore clarifies the origin of the song’s title in an April 1993 interview for Bong magazine: “It was the name of a make-believe film I invented about Elvis as the devil.“
