Now, that's some good SACD news for a change.

Thanks for sharing Marc.

 

It's a shame for me but they're not a big fav of mine. I might buy 1 or 2? I always liked the song Strangelove a lot. I'll get that one.

 

Can't wait for this complete set. Just to hear The Sun And The Rainfall in surround!!!

Steve

 

I'll definitely pick up Violator!

 

Por la mía Mamma! Sure I'll go for the most of them! Nice news indeed....!

 

I'm very excited!
You know, being a huge Depeche Mode fan (of their remixes)....i would love if possible, have the remixes included but also in 5.1

 

I can't afford all these import only discs.

 

They are all must owns for me regardless of price.

Just saw Depeche Mode last month and they still rock!

 

Cool! You know, I am one of the complainers about the slow release of hi-rez music, but I don't know if I could afford much more after these and the Moody Blues releases....

 

Has anyone found these available for pre-order? March 2nd is only a little over two weeks away. Strange...

Doug

 

Does anyone know which album "Pleasures, little Treasures" is from? The remix version can be found on the soundtrack to "Bright Lights Big City." My fav song by these guys.

 

Might there be hope yet...? First Moody Blues, now this...

 

This has been discussed here as well:

This has only been reported on an unofficial site. The official site is still silent on the subject. I'm guessing they're on their way but not quite so soon.

It was originally the b-side for "Never Let Me Down Again". There are three versions of the track, all of which are on the box set version of the NLMDA CD single (which may be available seperately... not sure). One of the versions was also on the US CD for Music for the Masses album.

 

All I can find is this link. They seem to be taking pre-orders.

This has already been discussed here and is a hot topic on Depeche Mode's official forum as well. I'm wondering if these will be hybrids only or if they will be SACD+DVD sets like Playing the Angel was.

 

I'm hearing April 18 for the first 3 (Violator, Music For The Masses and Speak & Spell.) 2CD sets; not sure if one will be a DVD-A, or just extra songs.

 

Is it April? I thought they were supposed to start coming out in March.

 

Maybe March in Europe, but April here...and even that could change.

 

But they're not going to be SACD's in the US.

CD-wow seems to be taking pre-orders.

www.play.com has also added them.

Now those are great prices.

So, if I had to get JUST ONE Depeche Mode disc, which would? Violator?

 

Out of the ones currently available for pre-order, I would say Violator, but out of all their albums it would be Black Celebration by a huge margin for me.

 

I just pre-ordered the first three from CD-Wow. If they happen to show up elsewhere for less, I'll cancel and get them there, but it's awfully hard to top the CD-Wow pricing, especially with the free worldwide shipping.
