Re: Depeche Mode - Single releases (loads of top remixers) /Album remasters reissued
I also scored the remixes off the 11 track promo, and although I haven't really had the chance to properly listen to all of them, but yea I'd have to agree with -1 about the remixes

overall, I definitely think I like this group much more than the ones from the previous singles - especially "Suffer Well"

and it definitely seems that with each of the singles, there seems to be a consistent pattern of 1/2 of them being more danceable, then the other half being more ...'glitchy' for a lack of a better term

as far as this album bringing the most (overall) mixes, that I'm not sure of... I think Ultra might've had more, but... what I have noticed is that they really haven't had any 'promo-only' mixes off this album (save for James Holden's mixes of "The Darkest Star") - which, honestly I feel is a massive improvement over past albums. It was always such a pain that some of the better mixes were always so hard to track down

but - if anyone has the time, they count up the total number of remixes from each album on http://www.depmod.com/misc/index.html

and ...one favor to ask - does anyone have Mayer's Ambient mix of Precious? I only have it on the dvd and well... I'm a bit too lazy to record it off the disc (and I'm running out of space on my HD for another .aif file)
