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.

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.

Actually if anyone out there has any Luke Slater I don't already own,
I will probably buy it or do a trade. Cheers
