Andrew Sega's reinterpretation of Depeche Mode's World in My Eyes (first track from their Violator album). Remixing DM songs, especially this album, is nothing new by any measure within popular music. However, I believe something special is achieved here. I respect this work for doing a clean job of sounding fresh and different as well as period appropriate or nearly so, which is something that doesn't happen often. And just listen to that bass line.
For the reference of interested listeners, I believe Mr. Sega used both the Oil Tank Mix and Mayhem Mode mix of the original track. And as a complete aside, the original stealthily utilized sounds from no fewer than two Kraftwerk tracks (I can identify The Man-Machine and the Boing Boom Tschak/Techno Pop/Musique Non Stop suite, but there may be others as well).
If you enjoy this, other sublime and subversive Depeche Mode tracks I'd honestly recommend checking out first are the B-sides of this song, Sea of Sin and Happiest Girl.
