Album Description
Available in:
Remixes 81–04 is an album by British electronic music group Depeche Mode which was released on 25 October 2004.
It was the band's first release since Daniel Miller's independent label Mute Records was acquired by industry major EMI in 2002. It features well-known remixes from the band's back catalog as well as previously unavailable mixes.
There are three versions of Remixes 81–04. The main version has 2 CDs. The limited-edition version has the same two CDs, plus a bonus CD with mostly new remixes. There is also a one-CD release with selections from all three discs.
The booklet, found in all three versions, features an essay by Paul Morley. A special "Secret Website" could be unlocked with the CDs.
During the promotion of the limited three-CD edition of Remixes 81–04, the above mentioned site was launched for fans who bought the bundle, which featured exclusive goodies. There was a special digital download-only bundle entitled Remixes 81···04 Rare Tracks, which is now offline for all songs except one listed below. It was accompanied with official artwork (also download-only). Users who bought the entire bundle could burn the tracks to a 90-minute CD-R (the whole album lasts 88:32) and print the artwork. In this case, you may say that the album has four CDs.
It was followed by a second remix album, Remixes 2: 81–11 on 3 June 2011.
User Album Review
Over the years, Depeche Mode have had many guises. From Basildon pin-up boy-band at the start of the 80s through metal bashing S&M funksters to stadium friendly electro/industrial rock-gods. Yet, all the while the band been fuelled by dance music and they saw the importance of the remix coming, grabbed it and started running. They developed it from a groovy seven minute diversion on the B-side into an art-form in itself; as much of a reason to buy the single as the A-side. This new compilation charts the development of the remix as much as the changing sound of the Mode.
The roll call here includes the cream of the world's best remixers from the last 20 years demonstrating both the huge influence DM have had and the respect they command. DJ Shadow, Underworld, Goldfrapp, Air, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Mike Shinoda, Danny Tenaglia, William Orbit, Timo Maas and the mighty Adrian Sherwood, they're all here.
Whilst the album is chock full of absolute classics, to modern ears some of the earlier remixes can sound a bit, well, cheesy. But just as those slightly embarrassing photos from childhood are an essential part of who we are, many of the early cuts, like the Beatmasters' take on "Route 66" are triumphs of old skool funkiness.
But don't think this compilation is just one for the DM completist; many of the newer remixes, especially those on the limited edition third CD are stunning, thumping beasts that are more than capable of introducing the Mode to a whole new audience of clubbers.
Highlights? Speedy J's "It's No Good", a barnstorming psychedelic drum & bass bliss-out; Goldfrapp's sublime "Felt-Mountain"-esque version of "Halo"; William Orbit's "Walking In My Shoes" and Rex the Dog's euro-disco "Photographic". You can almost feel the sweat drip down the walls on Club 69's hard-house "It's No Good", while Ulrich Schnauss' epic reworking of "Little 15" could easily be the closing music to the most moving film you ever saw.
Go get it, and soon!
