Analog Angel have, in fact, released their debut album, which can be purchased via their <a href=\"http:\/\/analog-angel.com\/fr_home.cfm\">webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Their promotional video gained a bit of internet notoriety when it appeared with the tag &#8220;Depeche Mode-esque.&#8221; Naturally, forming in the early 90s and adopting a synth-pop sound, Depeche Mode was a major influence in both style and execution.
