Double cd

There was a timewhen you could walk into your average record store and find thesingles section by spotting the big block of black rows. These rowssignaled the whereabouts of the Ds and tended to eat up adisproportionate space of the singles section. In 2004, the Mutelabel condensed all of these releases into Remixes 81-04, whichitself was ironically (or fittingly) presented in multipleversions. This particular version is a triple-disc set thatattempts to function as a representative sampling of Depeche Mode´sinnumerable remixes. It does an admirable job, making a point tohighlight glorified extended versions and radical reworkings alike.François Kevorkian, for instance, uses his invaluable understandingof the inner workings of both disco and dub to extend andsensitively tweak "Personal Jesus" for the dancefloor, transformingit into something that he would likely spin while DJing. Air,however, alter "Home" to the point where it sounds like one oftheir own moody, downcast productions — Martin Gore plays guestinstead of host. One of the most thrilling remixes shows no respectto the source material; Adrian Sherwood´s decimation of "People ArePeople," from 1984, is a succession of jackhammering beats,agitated noise fragments, bizarre vocal interjections. In order toentice hardcore fans who already have the old remixes on theoriginal single releases (or the six exhaustive box sets), ahandful of new remixes were commissioned. Most of these appear inthe latter half of the third disc, and at least half deserve to bein the company of the better-known reshapes. "Clean" is turned intoa bristly acid gallop by Colder, and the new rhythm winds up comingclose to mirroring "Personal Jesus." Rex the Dog reaches all theway back to "Photographic," providing layer upon layer of burstingsynth. Ironically (or fittingly), Paul Morley — who, as one of thetricksters behind the ZTT label (Frankie Goes to Hollywood,Propaganda), came up with the idea that you could never have atrack remixed too many times — pens the liner notes.
