Depeche Mode return to their roots with new single Precious.
Author : Seb Jarakian
Precious is the beautiful first single from Depeche Mode and
this is the maxi single for the single release. Overall the
remixes all complement the original version of this song and the
strongest ones are Sasha's Spooky Mix - Edit and Sasha's
Gargantuan Vocal Mix - Edit. Sasha has done an excellent job
remixing this mellow vocal track and made it very club friendly
yet not making it too obnoxiously beat heavy. Although Sasha's
remixes are quite heavy on the bass the beats are quite nice and
the song has taken on a much more electronic form than it is in
it's original version.
Michael Mayer's Balearic Mix is yet another mellow remix and has
a relaxed feel to it. It's mostly a vocal remix with a laidback
feel to it.
The Misc. Full Vocal mix is just an extended version/edit of the
original track. It sounds good but I like the original much more
as I am used to it. I like my remixes to sound like remixes and
this just does not sound like a remix.
The Misc. Crunch Mix is a little more upbeat than the other
remixes but not as upbeat as the Motor Remix. It's a fun remix
and quite nice to dance to.
The Motor Remix is the one remix on here that has basically
increased the bpm's of the original version and made it a much
more upbeat club friendly track. The mostly instrumental remix
is quite energetic and fierce sounding. Although it's quite good
I still prefer the Sasha Spooky Mix - Edit over all the remixes
on this maxi single.
Overall a good maxi single but not as strong as other maxi's
Depeche Mode have released in the past.
