Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Singles 1986-1998 is a worthwhile purchase for casual admirers and completists alike. The two-disc set contains revamped versions of the major singles from 1986 to 1998 and a version of "Little 15" that was first released only in France. The set's "grand finale" is the live recording of "Everything Counts", from the 101 album. Although the original studio version of the "Everything Counts" single appeared on 1984's People Are People, DM fudged the chronology to justify including this astounding live recording on the album. The live recording highlights the worshipful crowd applauding, cheering, and chant-singing "The grabbing hands / Grab all they can / Everything counts in large amounts" long after the song has ended.--Beth Bessmer

4.0 out of 5 stars These boys invented a genre!, 19 May 2004
By A Customer
Whilst some may argue that some of their later stuff (i.e. most of disc 2) isn't in the same league as some of their slightly earlier stuff (disc 1), few can dispute the overall quality of this compilation.

No other band has ever attempted to make music quite like Depeche Mode, and their style therefore represents something unique ... which may help explain how they have managed to remain largely unaffected by changes in music and fashion?

Apart from the superbly brilliant "Strangelove", this compilation also features a whole host of other great tracks which no household should be without. E.g. Stripped, Never Let Me Down, Behind The Wheel, Policy of Truth, Condemnation, I Feel You etc., etc.

Questionmarks over the inclusion of Everything Counts (live) though; although it is a good song, it just doesn't quite seem to fit in with the rest of this compilation (besides the original studio recording falls outside the 1986-1998 period).

In short, there are a lot worse ways of spending your hard-earned pocket money than on buying this double CD!

4.0 out of 5 stars A solid collection of singles, 3 Jan 2004
By David Ellis "DE" (Glasgow) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I perhaps shouldn't be listening to Depeche Mode, as I am only 17. But in comparison with the latest electronic offers around at the moment, Depeche Mode are still in a class of their own. Their sound is refined while still being varied from catchy guitar riffs on "Personal Jesus" to all out electronics in "A Question of Lust". I should point out that these are both some of the standout tracks on the 2CD set amongst others. . I do agree with other reviews in that Depeche Mode are not given the recognition that they deserve as they have no doubt inspired countless other musicians to get out their keyboard's. The only thing I do feel about the set is that the second disk does let the package down, but then again that may just be because disc one is so absolutely flawless and the inclusion of the live "Everything Counts" is a good move as it displays the bands true musical ability. All in all a very worthwhile purchase indeed, for both those who are just discovering the band, or those who have fond memories of the 80's electronic music scene.

4.0 out of 5 stars you know more than you think you know, 13 Oct 2004
By radio atlantis "follow me not" (tha north of ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Singles 86>98 (Audio CD)
its 1987, and a 13 year old manchild is looking for a band to call his favourite. he's heard some other dm stuff and been impressed and intrigued - not by 'just can't get enough', but that's another story. he's listening to the top 40 one day (relax, grew outta THAT habit) and hear's a track called 'never let me down again'. pause, transfixed. despite the fact that he's only just started taking an interest in music (beyong casual watching of totp) and technically speaking everything is new (except for that godamnawful s.a.w. stuff), its safe to say he's never heard anything like this before in his life. saves up his pennies (bloody nostalgia) and buys black celebration/ music for the masses the following year.

its actually great seeing how a band developes, being there for the releases rather than playing catchup (as happened with me and the smiths for instance) and i don't hold with the view that this compilation represents a dip in quality next to 81/85 (though it has its moments), merely a progression

and what a progression! violator is most people's (myself included) favourite dm album but the singles are usually spot-on in their representation of the album, most noteable during the 'rawk' and gospel phases of sofad. special mentions for 'little 15' which took a while to grow on me but i now regard as one of their strongest tracks lyrically, 'policy of truth' and 'world in my eyes' for being fantastic singles from a superb album ('wime's chart position was very disappointing) and i guess we should be glad for 3 very strong singles from a poor album ('ultra' - was never fussed on 'home') since it was a miracle it was ever recorded at all

a few minor points. only gets 4 stars because some fool thought it was a good idea to include a dire remix of 'behind the wheel'
exiter was a damned good album although mr wilder's absence is felt. whether there's any more dm albums will depend one suspects on if dave just wants to go solo; maybe dm need him more than he needs dm.
