===''Construction Time Again'' (1983)=== {{See also|Construction Time Again}} [[File:Depeche Mode 1983.jpg|thumb|Depeche Mode in 1983]] A non-album single, "[[Get the Balance Right!]]", was released in January 1983, the first Depeche Mode track to be recorded with Wilder, now an official member of the band.{{sfn|Malins|2001|p=58}} For their third album, ''[[Construction Time Again]]'', Depeche Mode worked with producer [[Gareth Jones (music producer)|Gareth Jones]], at [[John Foxx]]'s Garden Studios and at [[Hansa Tonstudio|Hansa Studios]] in West Berlin (where much of [[David Bowie]]'s seminal [[Berlin Trilogy]] featuring [[Brian Eno]] had been produced). The album saw a dramatic shift in the group's sound, due in part to Wilder's introduction of the [[Synclavier]] and [[E-mu Emulator]] [[Sampler (musical instrument)|samplers]].<ref>{{cite web |title= The Singles 81–85 |website= Recoil.co.uk |access-date= 14 May 2016 |url= http://oldsite.recoil.co.uk/report/edit/dm8185/spring2_99.htm |archive-date= 3 December 2013 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131203042513/http://oldsite.recoil.co.uk/report/edit/dm8185/spring2_99.htm |url-status= dead }}</ref> By sampling the noises of everyday objects, the band created an eclectic, [[Industrial music|industrial]]-influenced sound, with similarities to groups such as the [[Art of Noise]] and [[Einstürzende Neubauten]] (the latter becoming Mute labelmates in 1983).<ref>{{cite web|author= Benne |title= Inga Humpe – Mit Depeche Mode in einer 2raumwohnung |date= 3 May 2005 |work= MUNA |url= http://www.muna.de/Single.853.0.html?&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=84&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=854&cHash=c5c23fb615 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20091029130845/http://www.muna.de/Single.853.0.html?&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=84&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=854&cHash=c5c23fb615 |archive-date= 29 October 2009 |language= de}}</ref> "[[Everything Counts]]" rose to number six in the UK, also reaching the top 30 in Ireland, South Africa, Switzerland, Sweden and West Germany.<ref name="OCC"/> Wilder contributed two songs to the album, "The Landscape Is Changing" and "Two Minute Warning". In September 1983, to promote ''Construction Time Again'', the band launched a European concert tour.
