Title: The Vince Clarke-led Depeche Mode is still my fave version.
Product review: I consider Vince Clarke a genius and a visionary. His work here as the brains behind Depeche Mode stands out as a perfect example of this.Before Depeche re-invented themselves as some sort of alternative/industrial/techno band, they were a tight New Wave outfit. With Clarke at the helm, they released gems like "Just Can't Get Enough", "Dreaming Of Me", and "New Life". After he left, they became darker and (unfortunately) more commercial. The early years and their synth-heavy soundscapes were left behind...to the detriment of New Wave fans everywhere.This compilation represents the high point of Depeche Mode, at least in my opinion.
