Derek Marin – A Tribute To Depeche Mode & Others

Release year: 2008
Release version: Digital only
Label: Modest Music
Type: One band tribute

All other mixes, remakes or whatever you might call the tracks on this CD, are no cover versions – and even this “cover” version of “Monument” uses some original samples. I doubt that this “tribute” is really official, because Derek Marin has already been known as the maker of a bootleg CD (“DM Modemix”) with remixes of original Depeche Mode songs which he tried to sell via several official online shops.

Although I already owned all regular releases, I started "seriously" collecting Depeche Mode's releases from all over the world in the late 80s. But when the internet and espacially eBay came up, I wanted to specialise my collection, because with eBay it was not a question of "how to find a rarity?" anymore, but just a question of "who pays the most?". That was the start of my collection of Depeche Mode cover versions.

I really like it when artists create a completely new mood in a cover version. For me, the best covers are very often just unknown tracks on an artist's album, while many tribute compilations are just "sound-a-likes" without own creativity.
