Well, read my shit here first then go see it. Posted in covers, Depeche Mode, Pete Shelley, Rammstein, remixes, The Orb | 7 Comments » In fact, the version you just know imagined in your head is probably spot on. Yes, this is a cover of Depeche Mode’s Stripped by German industrial perverts Rammstein, and yes, it sounds exactly how you would expect it to. It’s good, and when I listen to it I am shocked that it wasn’t in the score to Megaforce or something. If you think it’s boring give it time, it peaks around the 5:20 mark. Actually, it sounds like some perfect combination of Deep Forest, Tangerine Dream and Vangelis‘ score to Blade Runner. “Please Forgive Me…” is a bizarre seven-and-a-half minute instrumental of drums and synths that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Deep Forest record if it wasn’t so damn ominous and awesome.

“On Your Own” is a good track, I’m not denying that, but the real attention grabber here is the B-side. Please forgive me…but I cannot endure it any longer However, my links are directly to the files on my server, and not to their Rapidshare account, that would be rude. In the interest of honest I will admit that I swiped these tracks from another blog, Everything On My iPod. This mix has its ups and downs, but it end is pretty damned good. “Towers of Dub” may not be the best song of all time but fuck me sideways if it doesn’t have one of the grooviest basslines ever laid to wax. I’ve actually listened to this sucker all the way through multiple times today, and that alone proves that I spend too much time in front of the computer listening to music. It’s also epic clocking in at 39 minutes and 58 seconds long. It almost makes me wish I had some painkillers on hand (actually, that has more to do with the previously mentioned fall on the ice). The single mix of “Blue Room” is a beautiful thing. Trans Europe Express makes the pain go away.

My New Year’s celebrations will consist of me, my comfy new couch and my Kraftwerk box set. Did all of you have a wonderful Christmastime? Did you contract a case of the flu that required an ambulance ride to an Akron area hospital? Well then you had a better Christmas break than I did you bastards.Īnd today I fell on the ice and hurt my back.
