The Singles 81>85 (Depeche Mode)

Depeche Mode's The Singles 81>85 largely overlaps with Catching Up With Depeche Mode, but on a whim I bought it anyway. It makes a nice companion piece for the other singles comp, after all. While some are not as crazy about early Depeche as their later material, I think it's great. Songs like "Dreaming of Me," "See You," and "Just Can't Get Enough" stand up great to my ears, even on the same disc as such awesome, awesome tunes as "Blasphemous Rumours," "Everything Counts," and "Somebody." Anyone looking to start or supplement a Depeche Mode collection could do far worse than to look here.

Tracks:
1. Dreaming of Me
2. New Life
3. Just Can't Get Enough
4. See You
5. The Meaning of You
6. Leave in Silence
7. Get the Balance Right
8. Everything Counts
9. Love in Itself
10. People Are People
11. Master and Servant
12. Blasphemous Rumours
13. Somebody
14. Shake the Disease
15. It's Called a Heart
16. Photographic (Some Bizarre Version)
17. Just Can't Get Enough (Schizo Mix)
