Amoeba Music

First released in 1988 as "Strange – A Black and White Mode by Anton Corbijn, "Strange fea-tured the first five Depeche Mode music clips directed by Anton Corbijn, who shot them mostly in black and white Super 8. Strange included the three main singles from Music for the Masses, the final Black Celebration single ("A Question of Time") and "Pimpf," the instrumental closing Music for the Masses.

Released in 1990, Strange Too (aka "Strange Too – Another Violation by Anton Corbijn") was shot in full-color, opening a visual/sonic palette for the director and the band as they explored songs from Violator plus bonus videos for "Halo" and "Clean."

The Strange/Strange Too Blu-ray and DVD configurations come in a digipack with a 16-page concertina booklet featuring photographs and new liner notes penned by Anton Corbijn.

"To be seen as 'strange' in a creative field is no bad thing as it probably means 'different', which I find is a very positive description of one's struggle to be just that. The idea to make this into a connected series of little films and fake interviews came late into the process of shooting these," wrote Corbijn. "I was shooting all the films myself on black/white Super 8 film. We put all this together on a shoestring budget; those were that kind of days. We have to look at these films in the light of us being young; we were experimenting and I am happy we were given that space at the time by Daniel Miller."
