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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Another Best of! Volume 1 of 500, 8 Dec 2006
By S. Cobb "scobb79" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
So MP3's are killing music? Expecting people to pay for a whole album for 1, yes 1 new song! Now that's what I call an EMI rip off and they deserve everything they get! Volume one? Well this is the 3rd "Best of" album and now Mute (the fantastic independent record label) has been bought by EMI (the corporate giant) then this will be the first in a long line of re-issue after re-issue all with an extra 5 seconds worth to fleece the fans one last time!!

Sorry Depeche Mode for the 3 stars. Your music is excellent and is all 5 stars. EMI - You have one star.
