To one thing to say in advance: This is not a best-of! For a best-of missing too many songs that would find their way to a best-of will (to Beipsiel "Halo": never released, but one of the best DM songs). No, this is, as the name suggests, a single collection, and although the singles between 86-98 (there is also a 81-85 CD, but for which it holds pretty much the same as for this CD). And already there you should ask yourself: Do I really if I have the faithful as Depeche Mode fan at home all the albums? The question I have to deny themselves the "Bonus Track" (a live recording of "Everything counts") is already on the live album "101". So, one should have any albums, you do not need this collection. Should one of Depeche Mode have little or albums are only beginning with the fashion hear then you should buy this CD (and perhaps also the 81-86 collection) into consideration. This CD offers the ideal introduction to the world of Depeche Mode. For collectors the way the 6 single boxes are interesting, all of which have released singles as single CD, with each remix, bonus track etc.
