The band almost died so Dave Gahan could live. This is how.
"Oh, Well, That's The End Of The Band…" - A short film documenting the personal and professional aftermath of Alan Wilder's decision to leave Depeche Mode; the story of the fledgling attempts to get the band recording again, and the tale of Dave Gahan's descent toward 'rock bottom' and his subsequent conquering of his demons. The resultant album, Ultra, was formed, like all the best Depeche Mode records, in a very different style to those which had gone before.

The title comes from Flood's actual reaction hearing the band's first post-Wilder demos — he genuinely thought they were finished.
Ultra's fragmented production — Tim Simenon, LFO's Mark Bell, various drummers — mirrors the documentary's fractured narrative; the album IS the chaos you're watching.
