Words like violence, break the silence!

Fantastic remix of such an iconic track.

There have been so many attempts to remix this successfully and almost all have failed by a long way (with the exception of the Mike Koglin reworking previously posted).

This however is exemplar, like most of Sgt Slick's remixes he doesn't make massive wholesale changes, just enhances bits, adds a little extra pace and infuses a pumping house beat.

This has always been one of my fave Depeche tracks and this remix is top notch.

No need for silence. Just Enjoy!

I feel hypnotised!


As much as I love Depeche, not a lot of their tracks cross over onto the dancefloor of clubland too well.

This one is an exception though, it's deep, moody and totally engrossing.

It feels like little bombs exploding.

One of those tracks that gets better with each listen, it just grows and grows on you.

I feel hypnotised!

See the stars, they're shining bright!

Staying on the Depeche theme, possibly not the most dancefloor track, but I reckon dropped at the right time in a set or as an end of night track, it could be lethal.

Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down Again 

(Split Mix)

One of my all time favourite Depeche tracks and right up there with the best crowd participation track ever.

When I first saw the famous Pasadena Rose Bowl concert in 1989 video of this track I was blown away and it still gives me goosebumps even today when I watch it.

Epic in every sense!


Keep off the floor!


I'm a huge Depeche fan and saw them recently and they were amazing.

Dave Gahan was amazing and produced a stage routine like a man half his age.

DM didn't have many tracks which were really good dancefloor fodder, hence great to post this remix which is top class.

The lyrics are very much about David caught up in the middle of his well publicised drug addiction.

Enjoy.

Word of warning children, stay away from the dirty sticky floors!

It's no good? Well actually it is; very good!


Depeche are one of the great bands of the modern era - fact, but there isn't too much of their music which truly translated across onto the dancefloors of the best clubs.

However, this is a real exception thank you to some amazing production by Brian Transeau.

BT was heralded as almost the saviour of dance music (at least in Sasha's eyes), but although some of his tracks were outstanding; many weren't.

This one however, is in the outstanding bracket and is a wonderful progressive journey that keeps you encapsulated from start to finish.

The Depeche vocals are superb throughout as you'd expect.

Just Enjoy (The Silence)!!!

 
An absolutely immense remix of a truly classic Depeche track.
I've always loved Depeche's tracks and they were one of the few British bands who truly cracked America.
This was probably my favourite Depeche track and there have been very few of their tracks which have been remixed well and converted to clubland!
This one is the exception though, it retains all the best bits of the original and that wonderful riff, but combines it with a pounding, pumping acid trance vibe which keeps on building and building and then comes back again and finally finishes with a lovely piano tinged fade out.
A really top remix of one of the great pop tracks.
Lovely!!!
