Playing The Angel - The Singles

Product Information

Whereas Exciter’s remixers were from the murkier edges of clubland, Playing The Angel arrived during electroclash’s pomp. In his Jacques Lu Cont guise, Stuart Price turns A Pain That I’m Used To into a glistening, filthy romp before Tiga gets similarly shiny with Suffer Well. That same single then goes into a completely different realm as M83 does his spacey, stargazing atmospherics to perfection. Rhino’s Depeche Mode 12" vinyl singles project continues with the release of Playing The Angel | The 12" Singles on November 11, 2022.
