I am sure the twelve inch you are refering to is the "LOVE" 12". I don't know why the remixes are so weak, but the original album version is FAR SUPERIOR that the remixes. I don't know about his remixes for Depeche Mode. I wouldn't bother buying any of there stuff anyway. > indeed, i was surprised to see someone (not irene) > writing that his earlier work was the purest IDM... All of his releases have been very good, except for the remixes of Love which was a real disappointment. If you can look for "My Yellow Wise Rug or "Four Cornered Room". I think the new CD is really great also, but it is more dance-oriented. > ...So, being wary of purchasing -- anyone care to > post an early Slater MP3 or two to a discreet > location? > always ready to change my mind (given the impetus), Actually if anyone out there has any Luke Slater I don't already own, I will probably buy it or do a trade.
