Even More Larger Amounts
I already have most of these singles on cd that I got when they were first released. This is my favourite of the 6 box singles sets. But the extra cuts here were the main reason I got this, most of which were available only on vinyl when originally released. True, the packaging itself is minimal. But I think the music really speaks for itself. You don't need a 25 page booklet or some rambling essay accompanying the box, as many artists do in order to justify charging a higher price. What you get here is 6 of Depeche Mode's best singles, with some truly great remixes that haven't aged a day since they were released. Timeless classics. And b-sides that are often as good as, and sometimes better than, their a-side. A few live tracks are thrown in to show you that Depeche Mode is a great live band ( yes, I know they rely on digital equipment, samplers, keyboards and prerecorded drum tracks, but Martin Gore is one hell of a guitar player, and Dave Gahan delivers some of his best vocal performances, especially on the cuts taken from the Devotional Tour. ) In all, a great set, with a reasonable price. Another must have for the serious DM fan. .


Depeche Mode - 1990-93.
During this era, the Mode were multiplatinum superstars and enjoyed back-to-back hit albums "Violator" and "Songs and Faith of Devotion," the latter of which went Number One. The fifth box set by Depeche Mode covers the period from 1990 to 1993. Here, we get the singles "Policy of Truth," "World in My Eyes," "I Feel You," "Walking in My Shoes," "Condemnation," and "In Your Room," with the remixes and b-sides as they originally appeared on the 12 inch singles. I always liked the Mode's 1990 "Violator," but "Songs of Faith and Devotion" was an all too vain attempt to blend electronic music with grunge. Still, it yielded some decent results such as "In Your Room" and "I Feel You," and I also liked the b-side "My Joy" and the Adrenaline mix of the album cut "Higher Love. " In my mind, the most successful of the six discs is "World in My Eyes," which has the excellent b-sides "Sea of Sin" and "Happiest Girl" and Jon Marsh's house remix of the title cut. In fact, all the remixes of "World in My Eyes" are true standouts, but Marsh's version is the true winner. While this period may not cover Depeche Mode at its most inspired, it's still a no-brainer of a purchase for diehard completists.


You should know this...
Average cost per song, also the best: 56 tracks on 6 discs. Musically and lirically the best box. Then, why not 5 stars? Let me explain you: the boxes are the lightest one: two can fit in a case designed for one regular case. No booklet, just a piece of paper as a sleeve. If you know that buying independently will cost the same, but you will receive a regular case (which also is stronger) with a complete sleeve, why not doing so? because in this box you get a lot more songs, more remixes, more live version. So finally, buy this.
Again, I live in Peru, southamerica, and it takes only 1 week to have them here. Thanks again Amazon!!!!! You have a greatest service.
