Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

By their very nature, best-of collections lend themselves to nostalgia, and Depeche Mode's instantly identifiable sound and string of pervasive, catchy singles are undoubtedly the soundtrack to many memories--memories served well by this fine collection of beautifully remastered songs. If you've heard any of the band's double-disc rereleases, you'll have an idea of just how good their remastered songs can sound. While there are some obvious omissions ("Somebody," "Policy of Truth"), compiling a career-spanning collection of Depeche Mode's best would be considered a challenge for just about anybody; and as this is Vol. 1, it seems obvious that there's more to come. There are a couple odd choices in the mix ("See You," "New Life") and the obligatory new track ("Martyr"), but the non-chronological mix makes these classics sound fresh and better than ever. --Alan Wiley


CD Description

First volume of a greatest hits package. Possibly the biggest (and first) stadium electro act, Depeche Mode have sold out arenas and topped charts all over the world, and this album is a neat summary of their first three decades together. Includes the tracks 'Personal Jesus', 'Just Can't Get Enough' and 'Enjoy The Silence'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best treated as a fine collection of their music, 6 Jun 2007
By Richard - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This 'best of' is probably aimed at the casual fan, as diehard's will not only own all of their albums, but also the two very comprehensive hit packages: '1981/1985' and '1986/1998'. However, this may not even be enough to cater for the casual fan as there are too many big hit singles missing, which is understandable given that this is a one cd 'best of' consisting of only 18 tracks that has to cover 1981 to the present day.

This little gem is best treated as a fine collection of their music, rather than a definitive 'best of'. The joy of this cd, is that you get a lot of variety by having a great cross section of hit singles spanning their entire career, including: 'Just Can't Get Enough', 'Everything Counts', 'Enjoy The Silence', 'Precious' etc. If nothing else, this makes a great guilty pleasure purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth a listen DM fans, 7 Jan 2007
By Stephen Winter "Badger" (Oswestry, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Overall, a good mix of Mode's work over the years; from the bouncy 'Just can't get enough' of the early 80's through to the recent 'Precious', for me the best work from Dave and the boys for some years now. I was a little disappointed to see the omission of 'Stripped', but there you go - perhaps that's saved for volume 2, and let's hope that's not too long in the offing.

4.0 out of 5 stars I'm a best of sort'a'guy, 25 Feb 2009
By N. Harbron "ITNige" (UK (Northern, eeh bah gum)) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'll be honest. I'm not serious about music. I listen to some people on the radio in awe of their passion for pure albums and i wish I could get that excited but I can't. I like best of albums because they take me back in time over a period of years usually back when the band had something to say that I could tune in to.
Depeche mode were with me for a good many years and I never bought a single, album or anything until twenty years after I left them, odd really. Anyway I'm glad I waited because this is a great record and nowadays I've got a sound system good enough to appreciate these tracks as they were meant to be heard.
I'd say for value for money you'd have to try hard to do better than this. there are only two, maybe three take it or leave it tracks on here and that's only my personal opinion.

Even if you've got these somewhere I'd suggest a trip down memory lane with DM, good times!
