"Sometimes You Do Need Some New Jokes…" - In both musical and commercial terms, Depeche Mode had been building slowly but steadily by the time of Music for the Masses in 1987. The album really did feel like a great leap forward. It was the start of a new chapter. This short film tells the story of that album, it's aftermath and the impact on the band. The DVD also contains a 5.1 surround sound mix of the original album.

Depeche Mode: 1989–90 “If You Wanna Use Guitars, Use Guitars…”
"If You Wanna Use Guitars, Use Guitars…" - A 32-minute short film, entitled Depeche Mode 1989–90 (If You Wanna Use Guitars, Use Guitars), featured interviews with the band, Daniel Miller, Flood, François Kevorkian (who mixed the album), Anton Corbijn (who directed the music videos and did the album's photography/cover), and others. It also includes news footage from the infamous "riot" in Los Angeles, which gave the band media publicity the day before Violator came out.
Depeche Mode: 1995–98 “Oh, Well, That's the End of the Band…”
"Oh, Well, That's The End Of The Band…" - A short film documenting the personal and professional aftermath of Alan Wilder's decision to leave Depeche Mode; the story of the fledgling attempts to get the band recording again, and the tale of Dave Gahan's descent toward 'rock bottom' and his subsequent conquering of his demons. The resultant album, Ultra, was formed, like all the best Depeche Mode records, in a very different style to those which had gone before.
