DESCRIPTION and info: From allmusic.com: Depeche Mode's first single wasn't a chart success -- in fact, it was such a flop that it wasn't included on the U.K. edition of their debut album, Speak & Spell, and only made it onto the U.S. version because someone at Sire Records apparently felt a bit queasy about the song called "I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead," which "Dreaming of Me" replaced -- but it's a charming slice of synth pop that neatly sets the agenda of the Vince Clarke-led edition of the band. Despite the chilly modernism of the all-electronic production, which producer/solo artist/Mute Records owner Daniel Miller made sure was entirely au courant, "Dreaming of Me" is a distinctly catchy pop song, with a twinkling musical hook and a winsome chorus that Dave Gahan and Martin Gore sing in an absolutely angelic harmony. Remember that in 1980, when this single was released, the closest that the new wave of British electronic music had come to a truly catchy pop single was perhaps Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's "Enola Gay," and songs like Miller's own "Warm Leatherette" were much closer to the norm. "Dreaming of Me," though it wasn't a success at the time, was an early harbinger to a new rapprochement between what had previously been a defiantly anti-commercial backwater of the post-punk underground and the Top of the Pops
