Depeche Mode Tribute

 

The depeche-mode.com website has made a round up of all the Depeche Mode news bits they could lay their hands on and things look bright for the ‘black swarm’ herd. The band will hit the studio in March to work on a few pre-produced songs that songwriter Martin Gore has been working on together with Sie Medway-Smith (Erasure, Client, Depeche Mode …) in Gore’s home studio in Santa Barbara (USA). Add to that a possible inclusion of some Dave Gahan material. 

A release date has also been projected so it seems since EMI Spain informed that Mute are hoping to have the album ready ‘at the end of this fiscal year’, in time for Christmas. A tentative date of ‘late November’ has been communicated to retailers and media in Spain via the IFPI owned operation Promusicae. A tour would be announced in the early fall of 2008, with pre-sales in September or October. The actual tour would not start until early 2009. Lots of news, but all unconfirmed although depeche-mode.com is known for having respected and trustworthy sources.

More news as we get it.

Recoil wins IGN's best of 2007 electronic album award

IGN, a unit of Fox Interactive Media, Inc., has selected Recoil’s “subHuman album as ‘Best Electronic Album’ for the year 2007. The reason for giving the award to the former Depeche Mode member Alan Wilder : “… But whereas Richard Melville Hall sampled and essentially remixed forgotten blues and folk songs into tight knit electro pop confections, Wilder has gone in the opposite direction, opting instead to employ the services of Texas Blues singer Joe Richardson and chanteuse Carla Trevaskis and craft intricate electronic numbers around their distinctly hypnotic vocals. The result is a mutated expansion of blues, folk, and electronic music that is rendered in a mesmerizing and progressive manner. To wit none of the tracks on the album are shorter than 7-minutes in length.”
