When we were in Dusseldorf we were at this guy's house and a mix was playing and a tune came on that everyone liked. We were trying to work out/remember what it was and it eventually came to me that it was this
Except, now I'm not sure that it was that, cos at the Isodea Festival thing on Saturday, Marijana and Lukas Croon who ended up dj-ing together played this
Which I understand has been a Salon classic for years and years now. Obviously both are re-workings of this
And now I have this sort of trilogy in my head, I'm almost thinking of them as one tune in a sense. I do find things like this fascinating, how you can trace the development and think about which version is the best. Clearly the Birth Control one is the original and is where the idea for the tune was created... but for my money, the song just has too many ideas in it (not something I find myself saying too often), it feels too busy and unfocused. And obviously that's whoever it was that made the Heizgas Meter* version thought too, and decided to make that thought a reality.
The Mark E version came later and my guess is that he had heard the other edit and thought he could do better. It does feel as though he did a bit more with it, the other take just kinda takes the good bit of the original, cuts off the fat and says "that'll do" but Mark E clearly thought that he could do better. But maybe his version wouldn't exist without the previous guys "discovering" the tune and recognising that there was a dance-floor tune in their somewhere. So it feels like a kind of collaborative project over many years.
Or of course it's possible that Mark E just came up with the idea totally independently, in which case the story is completely different.
Whatever the story, that's my tune of the day and you get three for the price of one.
*I read once that it was the guys who are In Flagranti but I can't seem to confirm that. Lukas reckoned it was someone from NY but that was all he knew, and he wasn't certain about that.

Need to check out more pre-black-leather-kecks-era stadium Depeche, I suspect I've been overlooking them all my life. Always liked the early singles.

Something about the combination of this tune and the album art.

Might as well start a thread
