Update on the new album & tour

Thought we would post up an update on some of the bits and pieces coming out through various interviews and press about the forthcoming Depeche Mode record. According to Martin, it seems the record will be a twelve track affair with three songs written by Dave, along with Kurt, and the rest will be from himself. The remaining songs will be used on a special format of the album that we hope to find out more about at some point. Of course we’re all hoping for something similar to the Sounds Of The Universe Deluxe box, so let’s wait and see what they come up with. The band finished recording the record October 19th and Flood will begin mixing in London over the coming month. I don’t need to remind most fans, but for you casual fans, this is the first time he has worked with the band since Songs Of Faith And Devotion (not to forget his take on “Freelove” of course). In tour news, the band are heading to Louisiana in a couple of weeks to shoot footage for the live show with Anton and Martin has said, “We’re probably playing the biggest tour we’ve ever done in our lives”. More info to come, but a lot to be excited about!
