CD Reviews

Depeche Mode Remixes 1

T. Snyder | AZ | 01/25/2005

(2 out of 5 stars)

"This is a one disc set of a slimmed down version of the three-disc remix set which is available for a lot more money.

It is difficult to remix Depeche Mode when they have such great songs to begin with. So I find it hard to add anything new to the originals to make them seem better.

Some of the beats are okay and some remixes work better than others. The list price is way too much for what you get.

Overall though, you'd be much better starting with the individual albums themselves."

Enjoyable for those who like DM in all their manifestations

"I agree - if you don't like electronica or dance, you will probably hate this CD (I have not heard the entire 3-CD set, just the 1 CD version). But, if you hate that type of music, I would be surprised by the fact that you liked DM. I thoroughly enjoyed this CD, even more than I thought I would. I have a mixed tolerance for remixes so I was not sure I would like the CD. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the range that I heard on the CD (even if it was all electronic). I was espcially blown away by "Halo" and "Enjoy the Silence." Like another reviewer, I agree that "Barrel of a Gun" is positively hideous but that song serves as the exception not the rule for this CD. "Route 66" and "Just Can't Get Enough" are wonderful throw backs to the originals. Unlike one reviewer who felt that these remixes were simply extended versions of the originals, I would disagree in several places ("In Your Room" is a fantastic example of a completely reworked song.) I too would like to have seen something after Ultra on this album but I suppose that is simply more incentive to buy the larger CD compilation."
