In 1998, Depeche Mode released a best hits album titled The Singles 1985-98. To complement these brilliant songs, they released a DVD with all of the videos and two short documentaries.
Out of all the directors, Dutch photographer Anton Corbijn shined. Especially in his "Policy Of Truth" video. In my opinion, POT is, if not, the best music video not only from DM...but of all time. I happened to catch it before school one morning once, and it hasn't left me.
Since that morning, I came across their outstanding Violator album and this DVD. In watching this DVD however, I discovered many other ground-breaking videos...many of which from collaborator Corbijn.
I highly recommennd this to any DM or music video fan out there. Although not all videos are great, "Policy Of Truth" shines brilliantly. Corbijn's rear-view-window shots are most affective and complement Mode's underlying driving theme. Very good overall.

The music of Depeche Mode is fantastic, dark and moody with some pop overtones - basically it rocks! The videos match the tone perfectly, and add a new dimension to the music. Recommended!

Growing up with the music of Depeche Mode in the eighties, I am pleased that the boys have finally release their retrospective compilation of video hits over the past 12 years.
Most of the video's are directed by Anton Corbijn, who also designed their stage sets and album covers, they are as creative and surreal as their music. The opening interview footage and a 20 minute plus short film give insight to the most creative pop band ever existed!
