5.0 out of 5 stars Nice little compilation of early Depeche Mode music!!, November 13, 2005

By	M. Murrell "Big Sarge" (Mannheim, Germany / Afghanistan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Depeche Mode: Anthology" is a great book for piano players looking to play pieces by Depeche Mode. This book came out in 1991, after "Violator" and before "Songs of Faith and Devotion", so the music in it is, primarily, from the band's earlier days. The sheet music is written for piano and includes guitar tabs. This is a great book to give to a piano playing, Depeche Mode fan.

The book covers most of their singles from their beginning to 1991, but has a strong emphasis on the music from "Black Celebration", "Music For the Masses", and "Violator". Here is a list of songs the book has the sheet music for:

Behind the Wheel
Black Celebration
Blasphemous Rumours
Blue Dress
But Not Tonight
Dreaming of Me
Enjoy the Silence
Everything Counts
Flexible
Fly on the Windscreen
Get the Balance Right
I Want You Now
It Doesn't Matter
It's Called a Heart
Just Can't Get Enough
Leave In Silence
Lie to Me
Little 15
Love, In Itself
Master and Servant
The Meaning of Love
Never Let Me Down Again
New Life
Nothing
Now This is Fun
People Are People
Personal Jesus
Pipeline
Pleasure Little Treasure
A Question of Lust
A Question of Time
Sacred
See You
Shake the Disease
Shame
Somebody
Something to Do
Stories of Old
Strangelove
Stripped
Sweetest Perfection
World Full of Nothing

It is a great compilation and the only downfall to this book is some of the songs left out of it. It's well worth the investment for any piano player who enjoys Martin Gore and Vince Clarke's writing.
