Dwupłytowa kompilacja utworów FAD GADGDET - projektu powstałego w 1979 w Leeds, pioniera sceny elektronicznej, równie znaczącego co Human League, Cabaret Voltaire czy The Normal.

Liderem i twórcą FAD GADGET był nieodżałowany FRANK TOVEY. Zmarł 3 kwietnia 2002 na serce (chorował od dzieciństwa). Znany był także z grupy SILICON TEENS, ze współpracy z takimi eksperymentatorami jak BOYD RICE czy EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN, a także z wykonawcami popowymi, jak ALISON MOYET oraz tras koncertowych z DEPECHE MODE.

Album "The Best Of Fad Gadget" jest swoistym hołdem złożonym Frankowi. Zawiera największe "przeboje", single i strony B singli, oraz remixy i nigdy nie publikowane utwory FAD GADGET.
