5.0 out of 5 stars Second solo release., September 11, 2003

This is the second release from the Dave Gahan solo effort Paper Monsters. This cd comes with 4 versions of "I Need You" plus 2 bonus tracks. The first 3 tracks are the radio mix of "I Need You"(3:33),"Closer"(4:08) and "Breathe"(4:56) that are moody as any Depeche Mode tracks ever were. The remixes are the Ladytron Detoxxmixx(4:01) and is the electro mix of the mixes. The Jay's SummerDub Mix(6:25) is a jazzy/house type mix with little vocals. The best remix is the Gabriel & Dresden Unpluuged Mix(10:13) and is the best mix they have done since Jewel's "Serve The Ego". I cannot tell you how incredible and hot Mr. Gahan always sound under a great house mix. This mix should take him to the higher parts of the Billboard Dance Charts. Awesome remix and song. Better than "Dirty Sticky Floors " and that got to number 3 for 2 weeks on the club charts.A++++++++

The highlights of this CD single are the songs closer and breathe. This songs are so good that they could have been included in his album. The unplugged remix of I need you is the best mix on the cd with its club feel and beat to it. Any fan of david gahans would enjoy this CD single.

5.0 out of 5 stars This single is so worth it, August 29, 2003

For anyone who has been dying to hear the unreleased "Ocean Song" that Dave wrote back in 1997, here it is. And it is now called "Closer" and the song itself is worth buying the CD for. Many fans agree. "Breathe" is another B-side on this single and it is acoustic and mellow. You will want to kiss Dave's throat as he sings. And for every girl who tosses and turns, clutching their pillow when they hear Dave's raspy tones and "ahhs" and "ohs" (you know what I mean) - have fun swooning. The remixes of "I Need You" are not bad for the dance floor but the best remix is the first one. "I Need You" could be considered the most Depeche-sounding track from the album and sounds like it belongs on a DM album.
