Nitzer Ebb box sets out now!

Just in time for Nitzer Ebb to kick off their European tour (Friday as headliner in Hamburg, Saturday as support for Depeche Mode in Berlin), Mute is releasing two box sets celebrating the band’s history. Also in the works: A digital download album comprising of remixes, b-sides, rarities and more… 60 tracks in total!

Nitzer Ebb is an integral part of Depeche Mode and Mute lore. The band grew out of the early 80s industrial movement, and took not only Depeche Mode themselves, but also their fan base by storm. Ebb supported Depeche Mode as far back as 1987, and are now ready to do it again. They also have a new album coming out (already out in the US) – Industrial Complex – their first full length since 1995’s Big Hit.

So for those who are either novices in the ways of Ebb, or old fans looking to update their collections, Mute are re-issueing the band’s albums in two box sets: “Catalogue” and “Compilation”. Also coming out is “In Order”, a digital download collection of the band’s remixes, b-sides and other rare stuff. “Catalogue” and “Compilation” are out now; “In Order” will be on iTunes by January 25th.
