Depeche Mode lay with "The Singles" (here: 86-98) before a nearly complete collection of that era. Unlike other superstars (that I mean everything from Genesis to Madonna) no songs have been specially cut to bring to a more on the plate and to provide an incentive for others to set themselves still zuzulegen a regular album. No, the latter claim was reached already own in that easily here the official single versions were used, which are known in any case clearly differed from most music versions. And that's exactly what I expect from a best of. Fans of Hits with this compilation already have everything you want. And the die-hard fans (if they have not gained all singles individually) benefit just from the aforementioned single versions, which it had until then so placed on any album. I personally like this especially when the 80-pieces ("A Question Of Time", "Behind The Wheel"). The extractions of the .93 "Songs Of Faith & Devotion" album I like less, however, as they compared to the album versions (especially in "In Your Room"), the gloomy atmosphere lacking. But these versions were just, who had sold in the '90s as well as singles. Super investment for fans and addicts chart simultaneously.
