Tracklist

1	'The Singles 86>98' spans over a decade. Why do you feel this was the right time to release this collection?
2	The songs on the album span 12 years. How do you feel it holds together as an album?
3	With the last album 'Ultra' you didn't tour. Was that a good idea?
4	What direction is the band going in on 'Only When I Lose Myself'?
5	Were you aware in the early days of how much freedom Mute and Daniel Miller gave you?
6	'Dreaming Of Me' was the first single. At the time was that the extent of your ambition?
7	When you look back at stuff like 'New Life' or 'Just Can't Get Enough' is it just good nostalgia, or is there any squirming at all?
8	Was Vince Clarke the creative spark behind 'Speak And Spell'?
9	When Vince left, after 'Speak And Spell', were you worried about what would happen next?
10	'A Broken Frame' was your second album. Around these early hit singles did you feel that you had become pop stars?
11	Was 'Construction Time Again' pivotal in Depeche Mode's development?
12	How did discovering samplers affect your music?
13	Did you realise you were pioneering a new way of recording when using a sampler?
14	Do you see yourselves as part of an electronic musical lineage?
15	Were you aware you were pioneering new ways of recording?
16	'People Are People' was your first success in the U.S. entering the charts at 13. How did you react to this American success?
17	Why do you think you became so successful in America?
18	It's hard to understand the chemistry within the band. How would you describe it?
19	Do you think Depeche Mode's music was still moving forwards around 'Some Great Reward'?
20	Was 'Music For The Masses' important in your development into a band who could suddenly fill stadiums?
21	Around this time you were probably the biggest alternative band in the world. You decided to make a documentary, a 'rockumentary' if you like, on your '101' tour. Why choose DA Pennebaker to film it?
22	How confident did you feel whilst making 'Violator'?
23	'Violator' went on to sell six million copies. What was the feeling in the band whilst recording 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion'?
24	'I Feel You' was quite a musical departure, bringing in more of a rock element to the music. Was that calculated or just a musical evolution?
25	So were you trying to record 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion' as more of a live based album?
26	What made you decide to embrace the guitar on 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion', after using synths for so long?
27	How has the Depeche Mode sound evolved?
28	The 'Devotional' world tour encompassed a full year and a half. How did this affect you?
29	Did it go as far as having four separate floors of the hotel, four separate cars, four separate minders?
30	Was it depressing that it had got this bad?
31	Had you lost the plot?
32	Did you think there would ever be another Depeche Mode album at that stage?
33	There was a four year gap between 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion' and 'Ultra'. Was that planned?
34	Why did you decide to release 'Barrel Of A Gun' as the first single from 'Ultra'?
35	What was the lyrical theme behind 'Ultra'?
36	Dave, how do you deal with putting your emotions into Martin's lyrics?
37	Are you happier with who you are now?
38	For this album you're touring again. Is it a greatest hits tour?
39	Your fans are incredibly loyal. Why do you think that is?
40	It's a long time since you last toured. You must be nervous?
41	Do you miss being on the road?
42	You're also releasing a compilation of your videos. The early ones were directed by Julian Temple. How do you feel about those now?
43	When did you start working with Anton Corbijn?
44	Do you have a favourite Depeche Mode video?
45	How about 'Personal Jesus'?
46	Tell us about the 'Barrel Of A Gun' video.
