Matt Samuels Featuring For The Masses – Enjoy The Silence

Associated artists/bands: For The Masses, Matt Samuels

Comes in clear PVC sleeve without artwork, plus sticker. The 12″ comes with artwork. The iTunes version of this release contains 24 uncut tracks, while the CD version contains 27 tracks with edited versions. There are also promo releases with artwork, but the track list is exactly the same. This release has a slightly different printing on the disc, where the URL on the right side is missing.

These tunes have a really fat sound, you should absolutely listen to them! The “Noir Mix” also contains two samples from the original Depeche Mode 12″.

Although I already owned all regular releases, I started "seriously" collecting Depeche Mode's releases from all over the world in the late 80s. But when the internet and espacially eBay came up, I wanted to specialise my collection, because with eBay it was not a question of "how to find a rarity?" anymore, but just a question of "who pays the most?". That was the start of my collection of Depeche Mode cover versions.

I really like it when artists create a completely new mood in a cover version. For me, the best covers are very often just unknown tracks on an artist's album, while many tribute compilations are just "sound-a-likes" without own creativity.
