Hugely influential and hailed by Q magazine as “the
most popular electronic band the world has ever known”, Depeche Mode
follow 25 incredibly successful years of sublime, superlative
electronica with their first ever Best Of collection released on Mute,
November 13th.
Brimming with 17 hit singles that span their incredible and varied
career, this eagerly anticipated album also contains the brand new
single track ‘Martyr’ which pulses with their relentlessly energetic
sound and sits immaculately amongst their luminous history. 'Martyr'
will be released as a single on October 30th.
This inspired collection of classic Depeche songs features their most
definitive work to date – including the hits ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’,
‘Everything Counts’ ‘Personal Jesus’, ‘Enjoy The Silence’ and ‘Precious’.
All tracks are taken from 11 of the band’s studio albums released
between 1981 and 2005.
On the same day, the Best Of collection will also be released as a
deluxe, limited edition album featuring a bonus DVD, containing 23
videos from directors that include Anton Corbijn, Clive Richardson,
Stephane Sednaoui, Peter Care, Brian Griffin, John Hillcoat & Uwe Flade
plus a short documentary.
Formed in 1981, Depeche Mode - Dave Gahan, Andy ‘Fletch’ Fletcher and
Martin Gore - have spent over 400 combined weeks on the UK charts and
continue to win critical acclaim across the world. Thirteen of their
first fourteen albums (released between 1981 and 1998) reached the UK
Top Ten, as did 2005’s ‘Playing The Angel’.
One of the most influential groups over the last 25 years, Depeche Mode

considerable reputation. In the process they have sold over 72 million
records and played to audiences in excess of 30 million throughout their
remarkable 25-year career. They remain one of the most highly regarded
and passionately supported groups in modern music and have recently won
