| Depeche Mode - World in My Eyes Band: Depeche Mode Let me help you make up your mind on this one... I must admit that I am an avid Depeche Mode fan. I Love all of their albums and have such a fetish for their music that I decided that not only did I have to have every album song of theirs, but also every remixed version of a song and every B-side. I'm not exactly made of money so my collection is no where near complete but I have accumulated a sizeable amount of Depeche Mode singles already and despite my Love of the band, I usually find their singles to be a bit disappointing. Most remixes of Depeche Mode hits tend to be a little lengthy, which CAN be a good thing if given the Substance but many remixes tend to simply drag on and carry little or no resemblence to the song that you bought the cd for.Another thing that bothers me is that I always get all excited over the B-sides that I am getting on the single only to be let down with a short instrumental " something " when I was longing for ( and expecting ) to hear another masterfully crafted masterpiece complete with Dave Gahan teaseing me with his dark, sensual, pounding voice belting out enviable poetic lyrics of romantic cynicism and lust ( exhales ). Not that their instrumentals are bad or anything; they just lack the two key elements that help make Depeche Mode what it is and give it it's unique sound. Without Martin Gore's lyrics, and Dave 's voice...I feel well...Violated ( no pun intended ). So this is the reality of many of the DM singles that I have purchased. I'm not even sure what It was that lead me to choose THIS single as my next DM purchase. " World in my Eyes " is a great song but I wouldn't consider it one of my all time favourites. I didn't expect much of this cd but I decided that I had to have it anyway because as mediocre as it may turn out to be, no DM purchase will ever be a waste of money. But still....no expectations with this one. Afterall, "Enjoy the silence " and " Personal Jesus " were the biggest hits off Violator. Who would consider this one over those if given the choice? Well, here's the reasons why you should.... The remixes here are what they SHOULD be; a great enhancement to the song itself that adds a creative Curve to the song yet staying true to the original. i.e: If you even somewhat enjoy listening to " World in my eyes ", you will Love listening to the remixes of the song. None are boring and the Mode To Joy mix is sooo good that it may actually be better that the original itself; which is probably a very sinful thing to say. World in my eyes was, in my opinion, the most erotic Dm song ever released thought it's sexual message was subdued by the artistry and exotic feel in the music and lyrics. My opinion of that song being the most erotic was dashed the moment " Sea of Sin " began to play. Both versions of " Sea of Sin " are eq This is one of Dm's best!! All I have to say is DM is the most amazing group...anyhoo, this maxi-single is absolutely one of their best!! Dave Gahan sings "Sea of Sin" more seductively than anyone. (In addition, this is the only place where you can get "sea of sin"!!) Ladies...this song will get you into a SUPER, Ultra seductive mood instantly when you hear this! Buy this for it's B-sides! This is a wonderful single. World in my Eyes is one of the best DM songs out there, my imediate favorite off of Violator. first of all, there are 7 tracks on the single. The remixes of World in my eyes are alright. The Oil Tank mix is interesting techno, but not worthy of being associated with the song. I like the Mode To Joy mix a lot better, it's closer to the origonal. The real treasures on this single are its B-sides, The best of all DM b-sides i've heard. 2 mixes of Sea of Sin are included, both are really great, the title of the song describes the whole song perfectly, i Love it! there's one mix of Happiest Girl, which is a great song. The song has a night club sound to it. both b-sides are really dark and sensual. i'd say the best lyric on the whole cd is "you look cheaper and cheaper as we sink deeper and deeper."
