so Depeche Mode have a new remix album coming out...

[crank]

ReCoil doesn't do much for me either, but when he was with DM, i think he really contributed a layer of texture and production that's clearly missing on the more recent stuff.

Listen to his reworking of In Chains. It's so much like a version of the "old DM"

[joethelion]

I dunno...

I thought their last couple of albums were quite good... ok - well, I guess "Songs of the Universe" didn't really have any "strong singles" (although "Light" totally should have been one) - which is unique amongst their albums...

and I was just listening to "Ultra" today, and I think I actually prefer that over SOFAD

btw - there seems to be a SECOND Alan Wilder remix of "In Chains" on the US iTunes
(or it's a remix of his remix)

[Troy McClure]

yeah no kidding, I saw that list about with all the digital exclusive and region exclusive remixes. It's like a damn scavenger hunt. Many of them are put up on YouTube so we can hear what they sound like.

I do like the 'In Chains (Myer vs Wilder Deconstruction' quite a bit.

well, I was able to find most of the exclusive tracks (except for the beatport ones) online through clever googling...

At least the "dub versions" seem to just be straight instrumentals (so not really worth the effort / money in my opinion) but it is crazy that some unique remixes were left off the official cd, which - honestly does seem a bit 'padded out'

cool interview with Martin Gore in Vanity Fair about the Remixes 2 project and the remix culture in general with Depeche Mode's songs.
