Ärende: New Depeche Mode triple CD set coming out
=================================================
Hi, everybody!

Just found this at http://remixes8104.depechemode.com -

The Ultimate Remix Album  Depeche Mode Remixes 81-04 Released October 25th on
Mute Records Released October 26th on Reprise Records  Depeche Mode - Dave
Gahan, Martin Gore, Andy Fletcher - are unique. For nearly 25 years they have
been making groundbreaking music, which has influenced generations of artists.
 Depeche Mode have always been at the vanguard of remix culture since its
inception, and the history of Depeche Mode is inextricably linked with the
history of the remix. Very early on in their career the band worked closely
and extensively with up and coming remixers who would go on to become pivotal
figures in the field including Francois Kevorkian, Adrian Sherwood, William
Orbit, Portishead and Air.  "Remixes 81-04" is a 2-disc set spanning over 20
years of Depeche Mode's pioneering remixes. Almost a greatest hits collection,
the album is a compendium of Depeche Mode classics remixed by some of the best
remixers in the world, including Underworld, Goldfrapp, Air, Kruder and
Dorfmeister, Timo Maas, Flood and of course Depeche Mode themselves. It is
also released as a limited edition triple disc set, featuring a bonus disc of
highly collectable and rare remixes. At once a celebration but also an
historical record of the evolution of the remix, the album is a fascinating
and deeply rewarding document of an emerging art form.  Highlights include a
brand new remix of "Halo" by Goldfrapp, "Barrel Of A Gun" by Underworld,
"Home" remixed by Air as well as a new mix of "Enjoy The Silence" by Linkin
Park's Mike Shinoda.  The limited edition bonus CD features remixes of "A
Question of Lust" by Flood and "World In My Eyes" by Daniel Miller plus a
William Orbit mix of "Walking In My Shoes" and a Danny Tenaglia mix of the
hypnotic and seductive "I Feel Loved". Also included are brand new mixes by
Goldfrapp, Ulrich Schnauss, Colder and Rex the Dog.  The release of this album
will be preceded by the single, "Enjoy The Silence", featuring mixes by Mike
Shinoda, Timo Maas and Ewan Pearson, plus additional tracks mixed by LFO,
Blackstrobe, Goldfrapp and Headcleaner. The single is released October 18th on
Mute Records (October 19th on Reprise Records).  "Depeche Mode is one of the
most influential groups of our time", says Mike Shinoda on one of his
favourite bands, "Their music is an inspiration to me, and I am excited for
our fans to hear my take on one of my favourite Depeche Mode songs."  Alison
Goldfrapp adds: "Depeche Mode are the only electronic band to have risen above
their own genre and it was a privilege to have worked on such a great track". 
A sentiment echoed by Timo Maas; "We were proud to be asked to remix, "Enjoy
The Silence".... but Depeche Mode are a seminal band and the track is one of
the top 10 all time classics... it wasn't easy when the melodies are burned in
your brain. I think it worked out pretty well though".  "It's a dangerous
business messing with the classics", confides Ewan Pearson, "I always swore
blind I'd never do a remix of something I loved so much, but of course, when
you're asked it's impossible to say no. "Enjoy the Silence" is one of my
favourite singles of all time - I still have my battered 7 inch copy and I
guess its one of the reasons why I decided to make music myself in the first
place."  Martin Gore reflecting on the Depeche Mode remix era said, "It's an
amazing feeling to sit back and listen to such an interesting mix of artists
take the spirit of Depeche Mode and add another dimension".
