If you're anything like me and absolutely love the SixToes remixes for Depeche, then you'll love the new collaboration Dave has done with them. They came together on a track called "Low Guns" and it's a lush, string filled affair that one moment reminds you of Depeche, then his work with Soulsavers, or any of their remixes for Depeche. Low Guns will see it's release on 18 November. It really is a gorgeous slice of music with Dave's vocals gliding right through it. It's almost like you can crawl right into it and just get lost, but don't take my word for it. Give it a listen and see what you think.

Live Nation has put together a great promo video to promote the Delta Machine Tour. Besides shots of the band playing live, it has some great clips of fans praising the band.

Fans describing them as everything from "the forefathers of electronica" to "there's only one Dave!". It's a short clip, but well worth your time. See it after the jump!

As the band gears up to take on North America, we start seeing some of the press starting to come in.

Gary Graff from The Oakland Press did a very nice piece on the band with some nice quotes and more. Read on to check it out.
