Music DVD Review: Depeche Mode - The Dark Progression - Page 2

At 97 minutes, the feature is neither short, long, nor dry. It's refreshingly straightforward because it doesn't dwell on the kind of issues that plague many bands (think alcoholism and drug addiction) and instead solely focuses on the music. Because it's unauthorized, I don't think anyone would be disappointed at the lack of "official" Depeche Mode media like high quality full-length music videos or non-grainy concert footage.

The lone substantial extra is a 10-minute interview featurette "Playing for the Masses" with OMD's Andy McCluskey and Thomas Dolby reminiscing about opening for Depeche Mode during their Music For The Masses tour. Biographies of those interviewed in the documentary are also included.
