    There is a Depeche Mode cd entitled "Catching up with Depeche Mode".
    Is this a compilation of their best singles over the years? I'm looking
    for a DP compilation, so if this is not the one, is one available?
    
    thanks!

| Yes, It is a compilation album. It contains songs through about 1986 or so. It was s'pozed to be pretty good. There have only been a couple of "Hit Singles" by DM since then. You might want to pick those up too. [One from Black Celebration and RTE66/Behind the Wheel from the lastest.] R. | |||||

|     This compilation album is OK.  There's another out (as an import)
    with the same cover.  Its title is The Singles: 19xx-19xx.
    The advantage of owning this disk is that it includes
    _People_are_People_.

| 1223.3 | Music for the Masses - DDD? | PHAROS::WILSON | Hold the maya... | Fri Dec 16 1988 11:42 | 21 | 
|     I have a question for Depeche Mode fans: 
    
    Is _Music for the Masses_ a DDD CD? 
    
    The back side of the CD offers conflicting information: the |D|D|D|
    _and_ the disclaimer: "The music on this compact disc was originally
    recorded on analog equipment..."
    
    Musically, I find Depeche Mode intriguing. _Music for the Masses_
    really is just the opposite of its title. There was a single, "Strange
    Love," but most of it is definitely not mainstream. 
    
    "Little 15," "Sacred," "The Things You Said," and "Behind the Wheel"
    are among my favorites.
    
    
    Actually, when I think about it, it's probably in my top ten favorite
    CDs of 1988. These guys really take themselves seriously as artists,
    and in my opinion they deliver the goods.
