3 unusual facts about Violator


Kool DJ Red Alert

Besides Chris "Baby Chris" Lighty's Violator, in the late 1980s through 1990s, Red Alert Productions was the only major hip-hop management alternative to Russell Simmons' Rush Artist Management (which he despised) and Cold Chillin' Records' management division.

World in My Eyes

Reaching No.17 in UK, and only No.52 on the Hot 100, it is the least successful single from Violator.

"World in My Eyes" is Depeche Mode's twenty-sixth UK single, released on 17 September 1990, and the fourth and final single for the album Violator.


Prisoner of the Judoon

The Judoon seek out and arrest Androvax; Captain Tybo commandeers a London Metropolitan Police vehicle and aggressively enforces English car stereo volume limits (threatening a human violator with deadly force); and he and his colleagues summarily sentence Clyde and Rani to restriction to Earth as punishment for their interference.
