My mates organised a playlist for my 50th - ten hours worth of music. It’s brilliant - it seems a lot of friends remember me being massively into Depeche Mode and I’ve been listening to them a lot recently. Violator is such a fucking brilliant album - not dated one second.

One thing I’ve never really picked up on is that there a lot of great remixes out there and I don’t have any - heard quite a lot on mixes some of you have done. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I think Alister has posted a fair few remixes.

Three of my current favourites. All different.

I don’t care if the lexicon avenue remix is low hanging fruit, it’s the best of the lot!

    Depeche Mode are a Guilty Pleasure of mine, I used to collect them pretty fucking obsessively if I’m honest. I have well over 400 different remixes. I have them all digitally if you want any give me a shout 🙂

      Favourite album of theirs is Black Celebration. Violator, Music for the masses and Songs of Faith are great. I think Ultra is very underrated.

      Could possibly considered more of an Edit but I’m Yet to hear a better rework of a Depeche mode track than this:

      Along_the_Wire I think they peaked with it. Songs (well this can be argued actually), Gahan’s singing (he would never be able to sing like that again, just listen to Condemnation, amazing), and it’s also still the best sounding record they ever made, some of the songs are amazing with headphones, In Your Room especially.

        …fuck yes, that K&D mix of Useless is fucking lovely. Proper afters fave that one.

        Phil-McRackin Ultra is pretty good. Have trouble naming more than 5 songs from the five albums that followed it.
