4.0 out of 5 stars Vince Clarke, one of the best songwriters ever, February 7, 2005

Critics often said that Vince Clarke only changed his line - up but never his music. Partly true, as everything from the early Depeche Mode works to The Assembly, To Yazoo and Erasure, surely has Clarkes trademark synths. But undoubtedly Vince Clarkes catchy melodies is only one layer of him. The Best Of Yazoo reveals a variety of moods, from a very dark "Winter kills" to the cheerful "Don't go". Even though the synthesizers used on the recordings are truly outdated and almost "childish" in sound, the compositions as such are full of contemporary music - as good today as it was back then.

Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet, who became "Invisible" for almost 2 decades after her solo single in 1985, are a win/win situation.

A must have!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars the best sounding yazoo - ever., October 3, 2008

The guy who mastered this CD is a genius.
It manages to be very loud and very crisp at the same time.
Usually I'm not a fan of new remastered versions which are overly compressed, but somehow this one works for me...
The new remastered editions and the box set doesn't sound as good as this.

Excellent songs and excellent recording! Go for it. You will love the liveliness and three dimensionality of the recording especially if you have a great audio system. This recording compares with the vinyl quality. Yes, it's that good. Check local pricing before you buy though. It's a bit expensive here.
