anyone know if the remixes on the new Depeche Mode single(s)(ie pt I and
II) are any good?
supposedly it includes mixes by Hawtin, DJ Shadow, Underworld, and some
others....
I haven't been able to get a hold of it yet.
any opinions anyone? BRAT?
----->>The DJ Shadow mix wasn't released (dammit), but the other mixes, for
the most part, are extremely limp. The Underworld mixes, in particular,
and basically bad dub versions of "Born Slippy" with a random, bad "Barrel
Of A Gun" sample thrown in for the hell of it.
The Plastikman mix is...well...Plastikman.
Rather sad overall...but the advance of the album I have blows away the
single currently (which isn't all that great). Old Mode meets Bomb The
Bass. The album will do very very well.
