This should be interesting. I'm always worried though when new bands remix classics. It's usually hit or miss and it's more miss than hit. If you get this Ebbhead, please do a review for us.

I think it's great that some old classics are getting a retread by new remixers. However, this isn't my cup of tea, as I much more prefer the original sound, so I will pass. I know some friends who will thrill at the thought of having this, though.

I've heard the Crystal Method mix of Bizarre Love Triangle and it's great. Not at all like a modern remix where virtually none of the original is retained. It's encouraging. The clip you can hear on depechemode.com of the Shake the Disease mix also appears to retain the vocals and feel of the original.

I'm looking forward to it.
