Remixing Depeche Mode 'Darkest Star': Robert: "I have no fixed scheme. I am looking for an idea, something unique which guides me thru what ever comes next. In the case of Darkest Star it was the lyric". It still sounds like a Depeche Mode track! Robert: "Yes. And it makes me incredibly happy to hear this. It might not be the best Depeche Mode track ever, but at least it has some of the color...and as I said earlier in this interview, color is quite important to me. I think much more in colors then in song structures" Did you ever get any feedback on the remix from the band at all? Robert: "No. unfortunately not."
