Precious (Remixes)

This is an amazing remix EP. There's a Tori Amos remix sample in the beginning of the Calderone/Quayle mix, from the Armand van Helden remix of "Professional Widow". That weird ambience-drone that comes thru? That was at the beginning of the AVH remix. All the remixes are great, although Sasha's can get a little monotonous. To be honest, he did a MUCH better job on Madonna in 1998 with "Drowned World/Substitute for Love", "Sky Fits Heaven", and "Ray of Light", especially. #2 I don't get. Not the song, but the title. How is it "spooky"? Oh well. Enjoy this!

There are many good choices here, buying the album is the way to go so you get the Calderone mix included. My favorite is the Motor Remix.

Motor mix sounds neat as a sound clip, but trust me there's no real develoment to the song, it just stays the same throughout (and it barely incorporates elements of the original Precious song). Sacha's Vocal mix is a bit better.

It Doesn't Matter If You're A Fan Of Depeche Mode Or Not.You Still Have Got To Appreciate The Fact That Precious Is Another Great Song Put Out From A Late 70's,Early 80's Group.

This is one of their better songs in some time. I am not a huge fan of all of the mixes though. Of course the Calderone mix is "Album Only!" Hate it when they do that and I am not buying the whole thing for one song. I bought the DJ Dan mix based on the reviews here and like it quite a bit. Sasha's Spooky mix is pretty decent as well. Not a classic but a definite "must have" for any Depeche fan.

For those of you who enjoyed the "pre-show" music at the Depeche Mode concerts, you'll like the Motor Remix the best. The Sasha mixes leave much to be desired, the others are just ok (which keeps this from getting a 5-star rating from me). If you've got to pick one, then get the Motor Remix or DJ Dan's 4A.M. Mix. You shouldn't be disappointed in either one.

These are some of the BEST remixes Depeche Mode have ever released to date on a commercial single. The song lyrics are beautfiul and Dave's voice is like velvet. The MOTOR Remix is one of the most original electronic remixes I've ever heard, Michael Mayer's Mix gives it a hot galopping ambient flavored mix , and Sasha and Spooky take you back to the clubs with a HOT Trance like mix.

You'll enjoy these remixes way more than the new album. In addition to the album version, download this collection so you can get the calderone & qualye mix. the sasha mixes are also great, and dj dan's is great, complete with samples from the past. the other mixes although not essential, are enjoyable.

I purchased the CD, days after they released it here in iTunes. The CD doesn't come with the Calderone Quale Mix. So if you haven't purchased the Single, get the iTunes Version.

The masters of technopop are back with the same energy and creativity. This single is awesome and very welcomed by all of us who grew up with DM. I like all the versions, from Sasha's to DJ Dan.
