This track doesn't let me down

Normal service has been resumed for the time being at least:

Depeche Mode - "Never Let Me Down" [Digitalism Mix] (Mute Records)

Digitalism have been responsible for some of my favourite tunes/remixes in the last year or so, with their "Zdarlight" track, the Cure - "Fire in Cairo" reworking, their involvement in Azzido Da Bass's "Strobelightz", and their remix of the Futureheads - "Skip To The End", to name a few.

And now this track is the latest production to be given some Digitalism treatment. It's taken from the Digital Download edition of the Depeche Mode - Best Of compilation, which also features mixes by ILTT faves Boys Noize, and Olivier Huntemann & Stephan Bodzin. This track has a touch of that french-house sound, a la Daft Punk, SebastiAn, Justice, et al, more so that their other stuff. It's a track full of squelchy, distorted, vocoded, filtered brilliance, that I only wish was longer.

*edit* having just checked the Hype Machine, I now know that this track has been well covered on Fluokids and Discobelle recently, so maybe check them out, because it looks like they have a good taste in music. :D
