Strange Too – Another Violation by Anton Corbijn is the third music video compilation by the English electronic music band Depeche Mode, featuring more videos directed by Anton Corbijn, released in 1990.[2]

Background

[edit]

The Dutch artist Anton Corbijn had been responsible of all of Depeche Mode's music videos since their 1986 video for A Question of Time.[3] For their album Violator (1990), Corbijn shot a total of six music videos, four for the album's singles, and two additional videos for album tracks "Clean" and "Halo".[3]

Corbijn shot all six videos in Super 8.[4] The taller woman in the "Halo" video is a young Jenna Elfman. The drive-in featured in the introduction to the compilation is the Motor Vu drive-in, located in Erda, Utah, west of Salt Lake City, near the town of Tooele. This part of the video was shot the day after the band's concert in Salt Lake City in July 1990.
