Never a big fan of Depeche Mode "in their day" (they seem to be having a recent resurgence) - I have come to appreciate their music via these stunning reissues in 5.1. I have the import versions on SACD which also include a bonus DVD with the DTS/DD surround mixes. This music seems made for surround and is a perfect example of a 5.1 remix offering new insight to the music - remixed, by the way, by the original producers/engineers. Great deluxe packaging as well. The documentaries on the DVD also offer a unique glimpse into the band, time and place of the original recordings. A solid 9 for all of these releases. I am currently awaiting the next batch due 10/3 - "Songs of Faith and Devotion", "A Broken Frame", and "Some Great Reward" - imports via Mute (Hybrid SACD/DVD bonus w/DTS/DD5.1) and Domestic US release via Rhino (CD/DVD bonus w/DTS/DD5.1).
