"Strange + Strange Too" on Blu-ray by Rhino brings together two iconic long-form music video collections from Depeche Mode's classic era, uniting the original "Strange" (1988) and its follow-up "Strange Too" (1990) in one high-quality package. This edition focuses on the band's groundbreaking collaboration with renowned photographer and director Anton Corbijn, whose stark black-and-white aesthetics and stylized narrative vignettes helped redefine what a music video could be. The Blu-ray format highlights the visual atmosphere, contrast, and detail of Corbijn's imagery while giving the music the clarity and depth it deserves.
The videos span some of Depeche Mode's most influential late-'80s and early-'90s tracks, showcasing the band at a creative peak where electronic pop, alternative rock, and dark, cinematic moods intersect. Fans can immerse themselves in carefully crafted mini-films that extend beyond simple performance clips, often telling fragmented stories or exploring recurring visual motifs that echo the emotional tone of the songs. The collection captures the tension, melancholy, and understated power that defined Depeche Mode's presence as they transitioned from cult favorites to global headliners.
Rhino, the label behind this release, is widely respected for its catalog work and archival focus, often handling reissues and compilations with attention to detail and respect for the original material. Known for high-quality remasters and thoughtfully curated editions spanning rock, pop, soul, and alternative music, Rhino has built a strong reputation among collectors and audiophiles. Their involvement signals a focus on preserving the character of the source material while presenting it in a technically refined edition suited to modern home cinema setups.
At the core of "Strange + Strange Too" stand Depeche Mode and Anton Corbijn. Depeche Mode--fronted in this era by vocalist Dave Gahan, with Martin Gore as principal songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, and Andrew Fletcher as a foundational member--emerged from the early 1980s synth-pop scene and evolved into one of the most influential electronic bands in music history. Their body of work includes widely acclaimed and commercially successful albums as well as a long string of singles that helped shape the sound of modern pop and alternative music. Corbijn, already established through his distinctive photography and work with prominent rock and alternative acts, brought a cohesive visual identity to Depeche Mode that aligned perfectly with the band's increasingly mature and cinematic sound. Together, they created videos and imagery that became a defining visual chapter of the band's career and left a lasting mark on the language of music video direction. |
