HAHAHAHA well, this is not quite what I meant but as most Depeche Mode fans know, Martin Gore is going thru a divorce right now and this parody of John The Revelator, titled Martin The Divorcer has been doing the rounds so I uploaded it for your listening and laughing pleasure. Poor Martin

ok, i've heard all the mixes off the 11 track promo..

i think some are pretty good..
as far as the john the revelator mixes go,
only 2 have a lot of vocals in them, the rest
are all pretty instrumental..

i don't really care for the 'lillian' mixes though,
most are pretty minimal noise, electro, type
mixes, and barely use the vocals..

i have to admit depeche mode is finally
getting more adventurous with their
mixers though..

is this a record for releases/mixes off an
album? there must be about 50 official
ones for all the singles...

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)

just rip the track from the dvd, if you have a pc,
there's a program i always use called dvd audio extractor
that does the job..

i'm glad depeche is making a come back of sorts,
i haven't really listened them in about 15 years
(on and off)...maybe they still have it in them.
(unlike u2, new order, human league, etc.....)

-1, thank you for the suggestion about ripping audio from a DVD. I didn't know there was software available to do this. I found a 30 day trial from http://www.castudio.org/dvdaudioextractor/ . Works great. Just finished ripping my Depeche Mode, 'One Night in Paris' DVD.

Cheers, Jason
