Covering Depeche Mode is always a double edged weapon because of their characteristic style and because of their rich sound and it's also difficult to compete with Gahan and Gore vocals because half of the atmosphere they are able to create it's due to these performers. In the past many bands took this challenge, many failed and few did a wonderful job, so I was quite curious to listen to some industrial versions of the Depeche Mode tunes. Unfortunately this compilation doesn't gather Depeche Mode tunes (only few bands covered their songs with nice results) but it contains tracks inspired by those songs. The fact is that most of the tracks are made by sampled excerpts of the original tune and then re-assembled into a funny noisy way. This could be an original way of dealing with the matter of doing covers but despite the title, tracks like the ones of Ganzer (he fast forwarded and reversed "It's no good", "Freelove", Personal jesus" and Enjoy the silence" and shrank them into a one minute track) or the following Hladna (the cover of "Insight" now sounds like an industrial tornado and you can't tell what it is) sound like whatever song. Only few tunes actually sound like songs (the opening Das Reut's "Black celebration", Sal Solaris' "Rush" or M-28's "The sun and the rainfall") and it's a pity because they sound nice.
