Earlier today, I was listening to some of Depeche Mode's b-sides. You can state the obvious, the songs are not as good as most of the album songs, which is something the band can be proud of, they didn't make the typical mistake of letting bit anthems out of their albums.
Anyway, on their b-sides you can find some really great musical moments, more than enough to make a big compilation selection all or the best of them.
The band were always fan of compilation albums, they already release 3 singles and 2 remixes compilations. So, instead of getting some new guys to make a couple of remixes they could simple release their ultimate b-sides compilation. Their b-sides are not that famous, even inside their fanbase and for long they don't play any of it live (instead of Fly On The Windscreen, an original b-sides appearing alter on Black Celebration).
But image, an album with songs like Ice Machine (famous now for Röyksopp version), Work Hard, But Not Tonight, Dangerous, Sea of Sin, My Joy, Death's Door, Surrender, Sibeling or Free could be a damn good compilation album.
It exists some bootlegs with these songs but no official release until now so, Mute guys, think about that please.
