The remaining trio recorded their second album, <i><a href="/wiki/A_Broken_Frame" title="A Broken Frame">A Broken Frame</a></i> (1982), with Martin Gore as chief songwriter. The band then recruited <a href="/wiki/Alan_Wilder" title="Alan Wilder">Alan Wilder</a>, establishing a lineup that continued until 1995, beginning with the albums <i><a href="/wiki/Construction_Time_Again" title="Construction Time Again">Construction Time Again</a></i> (1983) and <i><a href="/wiki/Some_Great_Reward" title="Some Great Reward">Some Great Reward</a></i> (1984).

The following album <i><a href="/wiki/Songs_of_Faith_and_Devotion" title="Songs of Faith and Devotion">Songs of Faith and Devotion</a></i> (1993) was also a success, though the band's internal struggles during recording and touring resulted in Wilder's departure in 1995. The band returned to the lineup of Gahan, Gore, and Fletcher, and released the album <i><a href="/wiki/Ultra_(Depeche_Mode_album)" title="Ultra (Depeche Mode album)">Ultra</a></i> in 1997.
