Enjoy The Silence (Indefinite Mix)
Mostly just a cut and paste of the many various official mixes. Sound
quality is just OK, with a hissy high end. Spoken voice samples at about
2:50 saying something like "Let's take a trip". Funny little beeps near
the end. Quite good, but the sound does detract from the mix a bit.
But Not Tonight (Robert Margouleff Mix)
Nice mix, nice instrumentation, not too different from the original.
Overall it's very, erm, nice.
Strangelove (Joseph Watt Remix)
Standard Strangelove remix, nothing special, but quite OK.
(Set Me Free) Remotivate Me (Joseph Watt Remix)
A good extended mix. Good ending, with just vocals, then a mini-noise
burst right at the end. Standard long instrumental bits.
New Dress (Razormaid Mix)
A cut and paste remix with (yawn) long instrumental bits. Pretty good,
but nothing astounding.
Nodisco (Razormaid Mix)
Good cut and paste.
World In My Eyes (Mayhem Mode)
A nice warm-sounding house mix by Jon Marsh. Sounds like his band (The
Beloved).
Everything Counts (Alan Moulder Remix)
Excellent minimal house dub mix.
Route 66 (Nile Rodgers Mix)
Quite good, not too different, but the instrumental bits are restructured
and there is an effect put on the vocal at some points.
Behind The Wheel (DJ Remix Edit)
Just an edited version.
Photographic (On-USound Remix)
Vinyl pops faintly audible. The mix is a remix of the "Some Bizarre"
album version, not the "Speak And Spell" version. It contains samples of
a camera drive motor and some other extra sounds. The first verse is
spaced out a bit, and some sort of oscillating effect is put on the whole
track. I really like this mix.
I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead (On-USound Remix)
Again, some vinyl static is audible. The mix itself seems pretty similar,
maybe with some EQ, but I'm not sure.
