"Sibeling" has piano as lead, while guitar feedback and other noises echo from elsewhere deep in the mix, while "Memphisto" similarly has piano for the main melody, but is just incredibly portentous all around, a bit like In the Nursery with no restraint. Jarna" and "Agent Orange," though neither quite have the impact of those songs. Two instrumentals fill out the release, both of which are mood pieces in the vein of earlier tracks like "St.
Mute boss Daniel Miller contributes a fine mix of his own, the "ricki tik tik" mix, which has a constant build and flow thanks to his abbreviated samples of the main guitar line and extra synth backing. His other two efforts are the "bassline" mix, which strips things down to a straightforward beat collage and some trippy vocal treatments for Gahan, and the "ecstatic dub," which isn't like dub per se but pulses along with a good groove. The triple-platinum Violator, released in 1990, was a Top Ten smash that spawned the hits 'Personal Jesus' (a number eight single), 'Enjoy the Silence,' 'Policy of Truth,' and 'World in My Eyes. When everything culminates in a mini-climax toward the end, the effect is jaw-dropping. With the alternative music boom of the early 90s, Depeche Mode emerged as one of the worlds most popular acts. Arguably even more epic than the single mix, it starts with a mysterious, soaring opening before moving into a big, brute beat behind a loop of Gahan's singing. François Kevorkian once again helps with some of the mixes, starting with the fantastic 'hands and feet' mix.

The "harmonium" mix that appears at the end of this release is the original demo, sung and played by Gore as a minimal, mysterious ballad.

"Personal Jesus" primed the pump, but "Enjoy the Silence" completely kicked down the door worldwide.
