Hi,

I just picked up the soundtrack to Married to the Mob, mainly to get "Devil Does Your Dog Bite" by the Tom Tom Club.

There is a version of Bizarre Love Triangle on the disc that clocks in at 3:55 -- but there's nothing to indicate which mix/version this is. At the 1:20-ish mark, there's a "do-do-do-do" part that is not in the 4:21 version (which I think is the Brotherhood version -- I have it from the boxed set). Also, the last 17 seconds or so of the 3:55 version is an instrumental fade-out (kind of a light synth thing).

Any New Order experts know which mix the 3:55 version is?

That would be the Married to the Mob mix. [:o)]

Seriously, I think that's how I've usually seen it referred as. It doesn't appear on any other single or comp. It's the longest of the "standard" length mixes such as the 3:23 US Edit, 3:37 Canadian 7", 3:44 CDS "single remix", 3:40 7" edit, or 3:51 Splendor soundtrack version, EXCEPT for the 4:21 album version that appears in various places, while much shorter than any of the extended mixes. It is, I believe, unique. [8D]

It is the Stephen Hague remix, n'est-ce pas?

just checked the cd inlay-it says "produced by New Order and Stephen Hague"

Thanks, Blir & Schwenko!

Really? Cool! What does it appear on? I haven't seen it anywhere else.

Only on MTTM, afaik. All the other versions are produced/remixed by New Order themselves, or Shep Pettibone afaik (actually there is a Rzorormaid remix, plus probably others post 1990, but they don't count[:D])

I never really thought to question the different version of [i]Bizarre Love Triangle[/i] appearing on the [i]MTM[/i] soundtrack before (the whole of which is most excellent, by the way. I also originally bought it for that Tom Tom Club song!).

I just simply figured that there must be a gazillion different versions of [i]Bizarre Love Triangle[/i], and this was just one of them.

From that very unofficial and not necessarily reliable repository of information called Wikipedia:

UK 12" - FAC 163
"Bizarre Love Triangle" (6:44)
"Bizarre Dub Triangle" (7:00)

UK 7" - FAC 163
"Bizarre Love Triangle" (3:40)
"Bizarre Dub Triangle" (3:23)

US 1994 CD - Qwest 9 20546-2
"Bizarre Love Triangle" (Album Version) (4:20)
"Bizarre Love Triangle" (Extended Dance Mix) (6:44)
"I Don't Care" (7:00) [Actually Bizarre Dub Triangle]
"State of the Nation" (6:31)
"Bizarre Love Triangle" (Single Remix) (3:44)

A little more Internet digging came up with this:

This mix is the same as the "Married To The Mob" mix.

(That should be "Hague", of course.) Can anyone confirm this?
