REVIEW: Depeche Mode - Going Backwards (Remixes) out on Columbia





Remixes by Solomun, The Belleville Three, Chris Liebing and Maya Jane Coles.

Going Backwards -Depeche Mode
We are not there yet
We have not evolved
We have no respect
We have lost control
We're going backwards
Ignoring the realities
Going backwards
Are you counting all the casualties?
We are not there yet
Where we need to be
We are still in debt
To our insanities
We're going backwards
Turning back our history
Going backwards
Piling on the misery
We can track it all with satellites
See it all in plain sight
Watch men die in real time
But we have nothing inside
We feel nothing inside
We are not there yet
We have lost our soul
The course has been set
We're digging our own hole
We're going backwards
Armed with new technology
Going backwards
To a caveman mentality
We can emulate on consoles
Killings we can control
With senses that have been dulled
Because there's nothing inside
We feel nothing inside
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
Because there's nothing inside
Because there's nothing inside
Songwriters: Martin Gore

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Depeche Mode is considered to be one of the most influential indie alternative band of all time which always remain cutting edge and they never sell out in order to be more saleable. Their latest single Going Backwards receive the stunning remixes that really deserves. First of all the melodic and spacious The Belleville Three remixes who deliver the beautiful old school deep melodic Detroit tech house version with rave synths and classic organ riffs while the classy vocals sounds so much at home. Dark and marvellous remix to get multiple plays on deep and tech house clubs. Solomun is the absolute star of the moment and his deep haunting house remix is tribal, groovy, moody and trancy at the same time with electro pop synths and infectious percussive groove to keep your body shaking with shivers from head to toe with vocal chops looped to get the crowd excited. Lastly Maya Jane Coles transforms the track into a deep minimal excursion that certainly is an adventure worth taking. Wobbly grooves, industrial touches, guitar riffs and lazy hypnotic groove to carry mind, body and soul away. Depeche Mode tracks receive always the best remix treatments and this package is one not to be missed. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
