As a personal fave track from "Universe" this EP took a few listens to decide whether the remixers had done the track justice. Generally yes! Herves mix uses the "Frequencies" line quite creatively, but is otherwise a hardcore dub, whilst mixes 1, 3 and 6 use the full song structure.
Not sure this will be accessible enough for the US market, so maybe some Rauhoffer mixes will surface in the future too!

Peace: Distinct Moments of Edgy, Subtle, Warehouse and Dance.
11 Aug 2009
Format:Audio CD
A variety of styles for many of DM's different types of fans.
Single edit: A nice concise way to start the set. It has a different intro than the album version beginning with the truly lovely 'Peace' a-cappella vocal harmony. Short, sweet, thoughtful. A welcome reminder of classic DM style.
Hervé's 'Warehouse Frequencies' Remix: Reaches for, and just touches the moment when you arrive at a warehouse party, and you realize it's time to have fun!
Ander Van Doorn Remix: Propulsive, spacey and strong. I want to drive faster and roll the windows down and max out the amplifier! It's loud and I want sweat hard to it.
Japanese Popstars Remix: Seedy-back-room-style, high-energy, hard-edge mechanical vibe. It has a place. The whole thing is waiting for something to happen.
Sid Lerock Remix: Mmmm.... The beats are thick, the timing is layered with little glitchy hypnotizing elements. The vocals are pitched intentionally oddly. Maybe you're on a rooftop lounge downtown at 4am, feeling the vibration of the building beneath you. It feels good to absorb the beat!
Justus Köhncke Extended Disco Club Vocal Remix: This is not my style. It is a slow house attempt and it just sounds old. It's too slow to be dance-y, it's too unimaginative to be fun. Don't worry though, if you want a good house version, There are some really GREAT deep house bootleg mixes out there, online and on vinyl.

here wo go again--more noise from a once highly influential electronic band
6 July 2009
Format:Audio CD
With a package this full of remixes, I was hoping that maybe at last we'd get at least one Depeche Mode remix worthy of a dancefloor. But once again, we get one raucous, noisy mix after another that can't even hold a candle to the industrial artists Depeche Mode has been seeming to try to imitate since the early 90s. The ONLY version here that has a dance club feel is the last, the 'disco' mix, but a beat alone doesn't make it a good dance song.
This band once brought us some of the best synth dance music going and influenced countless other synth groups of the 80s, but these days, they just keep failing to get us back onto the dancefloor. Why not hire the best club mixers in the business and leave the dark brooding sounds for the albums? This way, they could tap into two markets and satisfy fans from all spectrums of their near thirty year career.
Oh, and don't expect to find a surprise good mix on the other part of this 2-CD set. The one lone remix on that two tracker is a boring downtempo mix.
