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. The accompanying DVD in this deluxe edition features 23 videos, including nearly every song on the CD, and a documentary--that's worth the price of admission alone. --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'. The bonus DVD includes music videos and documentary footage.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Bundle Of Joy, 15 Nov 2006
By MORTEN AASTAD (Oslo Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Been a fan of Depeche Mode for 22 years? Got every scrap of stuff they've ever made? Even all the singles individualy and in box sets? Then you'd expect me to say you don't need this, right? Well, wrong, I love Depeche Mode a lot, and I'm a completionist, so I had to have this. Also, this version includes a dvd with the videos to go with the songs, as well as a little documentary, and the new song Martyr.

I have gone along with this band, even though I still suffer from Alan Wilder leaving, even if they don't want to include the video for Get the Balance Right anywhere, and even after seeing the "video" for Martyr. Despite the fact that this compilation might seem like overkill in a year where we've had singel releases, 6 remasters and a live from Milano dvd, I'm really happy with this set, both in terms of the look and what you get with it. But would I have bought it without the DVD? Probably... I guess I'm a fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb introduction to a class act, 9 Nov 2006
By C. T. J. Simpson (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Depeche Mode hold a unique place in music history - they have influenced many genres, continue to be a major influence on some of todays new breed, and have spanned nearly 3 decades producing ground breaking, innovative, yet incredibly compelling music. This collection offers little to existing followers like me, other than the outstanding new single 'Martyr', it does offer a fantastic opportunity for those new and/or curious about DM to access their back catalogue without the chronolgical sequence of the singles releases. The album offers insight into how the band has evolved from their early 'poppy' roots of 'just can't get enough' to honouring their values of continually pushing the boundaries of conventional sounding mainstream music - still very resonant in 2005's excellent 'Playing the Angel' offering.

On this album you'll find the stomping anthems of 'Personal jesus' 'Martyr' and last years 'Suffer Well', coupled with sensitive electronic gems such as 'Shake the Disease' as well as the ground breaking powerful electronica of 'Master and Servant' and 'Everything Counts'. Hits all over the place and not a substandard track anywhere - even those tracks now over 20 years old hardly sound dated. The volume one says much of their longevity and success, plus the fact that time/age/solo commitments may prevent the band fulfilling a further chronological singles album.

I strongly recommend this album to anyone who enjoys powerful, intelligent, emotive music with thought provoking lyrics (just cant get enough aside!). A real qualititive experience - no buyers regret here!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought you'd seen it all before....think again!!, 15 Dec 2006
When I first heard about this release I was initially very sceptical...oh no, not another DM compilation! Especially after 'The Singles 80-95' x2, 101, 'Singles 86-9*', live SOFAD and Remixes to boot! But in fairness it took me a while to actually realise this...but this is the first ever real "best of" DM album, incorporating the best of DM songs throughout their entire discography, juxtaposing early synth-pop classics with their later angst-riddled guitar riff-laden anthems, and before you say, why not just put my iPod on shuffle (as I myself first cynically thought), this also comes with a DVD of approx.~ 23 videos. So whether your'e a jaded DM fan or just want to introduce a friend to these legendary pioneers of "electronic" music then this is the one for YOU!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, unique, innovative and influential band (that are still around actually!)
If you only want the big hits and/or never really listened to them before this is an ok collection. However, as a longtime fan i'd recommend a new listener dig a bit deeper and... Read more
