Best Remixed Recording: "You Move (Latroit Remix)"
Five "Going Backwards" Remixes On Double LP!
Plus Special Remixes Of "You Move" & "Poison Heart"!
"Going Backwards" is the second single released from Depeche Mode's 14th studio album, Spirit, and their first new music in four years. This double LP contains 5 different remixes of the track, plus special remixes of the songs "You Move" and "Poison Heart".
"In a time of sociopolitical upheaval, Depeche Mode emerged with Spirit. Dark, brooding, and painfully relevant upon its release, the collection is one of their most intense and aggressive statements, isolating the frustration, anger, tension, and dread coursing across the globe in the wake of the 2016 U.S. presidential election and Brexit. With little subtlety, Depeche Mode take aim and leave few survivors...On 'Going Backwards,' [Dave Gahan] fears a regression 'to a caveman mentality.' When Martin Gore joins him, they come to a dire conclusion: 'We feel nothing inside/Because there's nothing inside.' If the perpetually gloomy pair think affairs are this bad, perhaps there really is no hope. Despite such desperation, the band doesn't allow for much time to be paralyzed by fear and complacency. Like parents telling their children they're 'so disappointed' in them in the hopes of sparking a little reverse-psychology motivation, Spirit is Depeche Mode's challenge for us to prove them wrong...The sexy 'You Move,' written with Gore, is a club-ready standout that pulses from the darkest corners found on Ultra and Gahan's Hourglass, while the carnal 'Poison Heart' is another Soulsavers-esque affair, as sleazy and spiritual as he gets. Robust and fearless, Spirit may end up being one of the earliest and best salvos of its political era. Despite dour lyrics to the contrary, Depeche Mode haven't given up on humanity. Spirit exhumes the remains of our better nature and demands its resurrection." - Neil Z. Yeung, allmusic.com
