I've heard cause and effect in the early 90's with their top 20 hit "you think you know her" and I ask my sis if its depeche mode but it aint . what the hell , they sound exactly like dm. the vocals sounds like dave gahan and the backing vocals sounds like martin gore. they're difinitely a clone.
but the album is fantastic and alson their sophomore "trip" sounds like violator
hope to hear more synth pop new wavers out there
