Bigger than the Universe
Depeche Mode begin their assault on world domination (slightly later than U2) previewing their new single Wrong on German TV last Saturday night. The Basildon Three have also published details of the new album release, announced American tour dates and have 'self-leaked' a new song onto i-tunes.
The new single has been received with mixed views both from fans and critics although I think we all know by now that most DM singles are 'growers' and their rarely get their debuts, er, wrong. See / hear for yourselves here (and elsewehere).
The new album - modestly titled 'Sounds of the Universe' will be released on 20th April 2008 in convential CD form as well as in a special deluxe CD+DVD box set containing the album plus "a host of exclusive material". The album can already be ordered in digital form from i-tunes with single Wrong immediately available.
The track "Oh Well (Black Light Odyssey Dub)" has also been made available on UK i-tunes and already has its own entry in discogs.com . Needless to say it's also already available as an mp3 bootleg.
Depeche Mode : something wrong Martin?

Got the Human League in to inspire 'em
Pet Shop Boys have announced that their new album 'Yes' out on 23rd March will also be available with a special second disc 'Yes etc.' with dub versions of selected tracks off Yes plus a new track "This used to be the future" featuring guest vocals by Phil Oakey of The Human League.Although pioneers of the 'remix' album themselves (see Disco 1 - 2 - 3) the PSBs state that "the inspiration for this bonus album came from The Human League's 1982 dub album, "Love and Dancing" (issued under the name of The League Unlimited Orchestra....actually).
PSB's "Love etc." is Record of the Week on BBC Radio 2 this week.
Phil Oakey: "one day all hair will be cut this way.."
