Strange – A Black and White Mode by Anton Corbijn is the second music video compilation by the English electronic music band Depeche Mode, featuring the first five Depeche Mode videos directed by Anton Corbijn, released in 1988. Corbijn shot the entire video album in Super 8.[2]
The five videos are mostly in black and white, except for some random megaphones that were colored red. The compilation includes the three main singles for Music for the Masses, the final Black Celebration single "A Question of Time", and "Pimpf", the instrumental closer to Music for the Masses. The "Pimpf" video is currently exclusive to this release.
Both Strange and its follow-up, Strange Too, were re-released on DVD and Blu-ray on 8 December 2023.[3]
