It's interesting to hear you say this because I find that the opposite is usually true. Normally, DM's remixes aren't all that good despite having great electronic acts doing them...listen to
Barrel Of A Gun,
official remix album 81-04 for proof of this.
I far prefer the original versions.
Here's what someone else had to say:
Quote:
Their early remixes stay truer to the originals than the newer ones, as technology advances and lets the remixer strip the tracks down to nothing and re-construct, rather than simply extend the songs. Martin Gore, songwriter for DM, has been quoted as saying he's not a big fan of having some outside person remixing finished tracks, and Vince Clarke, their original songwriter, has the same feeling. I am inclined to believe this is more of a record company release, than something the members of Depeche Mode would have had a direct hand in.
