Depeche Mode's Video Singles Collection--the definitive 3DVD library anthology containing more than four hours of the post-punk pioneers' groundbreaking music videos (and two-plus hours of audio commentary)--will be released worldwide by SONY Music Entertainment on November 11, 2016.
Video Singles Collection is the first official Depeche Mode archival title to be released under the SONY imprimatur since SME acquired rights to the DM catalog in July 2015.
"We're pleased and honored to be releasing Depeche Mode's Video Singles Collection, an essential addition to the band's recently licensed catalog documenting their lasting contributions to music video history," said Richard Story, President Commercial Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment.
The 3DVD set presents more than three decades worth of Depeche Mode's international hit singles as lensed for the group's mind-blowing progression of innovative and provocative music videos directed by a who's who of cinematic visionaries including Julien Temple, Anton Corbijn, D.A. Pennebaker, John Hillcoat and others.
Throughout Depeche Mode's career, the group has placed an essential emphasis on the quality of their videos, collaborating with world-class directors and crews on some of the most influential and powerful short films in music video history.
"Videos have always played an essential part in how we wanted to present Depeche Mode's music to the world," agreed the members of the band. "It's been amazing to go back and relive all the experiences and memories these videos evoke after all these years. It's incredible to have all our videos finally together in one place and we're hoping our fans enjoy this journey through time as much as we did."
Video Singles Collection is the first in a series of band-approved retrospective projects examining Depeche Mode's extraordinary career and effect on pop culture and marks the first time that DM's video singles--from 1981 to 2013--have been compiled together in a single anthology.
The set includes 55 newly restored versions of the essential video singles in the DM canon in addition to four rare alternate videos and new commentary on specific individual clips, recorded by members of Depeche Mode especially for this release.
Formed in 1981, Depeche Mode continue to win critical and commercial acclaim around the world, both in the studio and on the road. The band has released 13 studio albums which reached the Top 10 charts in more than 20 countries including the US, UK, Germany and France. Their last album, 2013's Delta Machine, debuted at the #1 chart spot in 12 countries and was followed by a world tour which saw the band play for more than 2.5 million fans. With more than 100 million records sold worldwide, Depeche Mode have well earned the distinction of "the most popular electronic band the world has ever known" (Q Magazine).
As the November 8 UK opening of Lazarus at London’s King Cross Theatre approaches, the cast and band of the original New York production will release their versions of the David Bowie songs from the show as the Lazarus Cast Album October 21 on ISO / Columbia Records. The album will be available for pre-order September 16 with all orders receiving instant downloads of the cast versions of “Life On Mars?” (sung by Sophia Anne Caruso) and the title track (sung by Michael C. Hall).
Standing alongside the cast’s interpretations of classics from his canon are the three final David Bowie studio recordings. Co-produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti and recorded with Donny McCaslin and his quartet, the same band that played on Bowie’s ★ album, these last three songs — “No Plan,” “Killing A Little Time,” “When I Met You”— bring completely new dimensions to their cast counterparts. The original ★ version of “Lazarus” is also included on the cast album.
The ★ album has been shortlisted for the 2016 Mercury Prize and as part of the awards ceremony on September 15 Michael C. Hall will be performing the song “Lazarus” with Henry Hey and the Lazarus house band. The show will be broadcast live from the Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith on BBC 4 and BBC Radio 6 Music.
Macintosh HD:Users:nastymac:Desktop:20160906_Lazarus_CD cover.jpegThe Lazarus cast album was produced by the show’s musical director Henry Hey, who had previously worked with Bowie on “The Next Day” and features vocals from Hall, Caruso, Cristin Miloti, Michael Esper and other cast members backed by the seven-piece house band Hey assembled for the New York run. The album was recorded January 11, 2016. Upon arriving at the studio, the musicians and cast were shocked and saddened to learn that Bowie had passed away the evening before. Their emotional performances that day are captured on this recording.
The distinctive artwork for the Lazarus cast recording has been designed by Jonathan Barnbrook who also worked with Bowie on the ★, The Next Day, Heathen and Nothing Has Changed albums.
Written by Bowie and Enda Walsh, directed by Ivo Van Hove and produced by Robert Fox, Lazarus opened December 7, 2015 at the New York Theatre Workshop to great critical acclaim. The New York Times raved “Ice-cold bolts of ecstasy shoot like novas through the glamorous muddle and murk of Lazarus, the great-sounding, great-looking and mind-numbing new musical built around songs by David Bowie,” while Rolling Stone hailed it as a “Surrealistic Tour de Force… milk-swimming, lingerie-sniffing, gin-chugging theater at its finest.”
Op 21 Oktober aanstaande – en in afwachting van de Europse theater premiere op 8 november in London - verschijnt het Lazarus Cast Album (via ISO / Columbia Records). Deze opnames werden gemaakt met de cast en de band van de originele “Lazarus” theater-productie in New York (olv van regisseur Ivo Van Hove). Wie het album vanaf 16/09 - voorbestelt krijgt meteen instant downloads mee van de cast versions “Life On Mars?” (door Sophia Anne Caruso) en titel track “Lazarus” (door Michael C. Hall).
De songs van het theaterstuk zijn stuk voor stuk classics uit het repertoire van Bowie en een paar nieuwe nummers geschreven voor het stuk. Het album wordt daarenboven aangevuld met drie van deze nummers uitgevoerd door Bowie – en onuitgegeven - tevens de laatste studio opnames die hij ooit gemaakt heeft. In een Co-productie van Bowie en Tony Visconti en opgenomen met Donny McCaslin’s quartet, dezelfde ploeg dus als op Bowie’s ★ (Blackstar) album. Deze drie Laatste nummers— “No Plan,” “Killing A Little Time,” “When I Met You”— voegen een geheel nieuwe dimensie toe aan de cast uitvoeringen ervan. Photo by: Jimmy King

Today, artists have to realize their projects more and more by themselves, or rely on the fans.
This also applies for Pieter Nooten who used to be one of the key figures of Clan Of Xymox. For decades Peter makes music as a solo artist, but because it’s a bit more experimental, it is harder to find the (deserved) attention.
La Compania Parpadeo is the newest dance project by Pieter Nooten and Miryam La Lucha. A project that costs lots of money. Click below to see how you can help Peter and Myriam.
Tegenwoordig moeten artiesten meer en meer zelf werken om hun projecten waar te maken, of gewoon beroep doen op de fans.
Dat geldt ook voor Pieter Nooten die vroeger één van de sleutelfiguren van Clan Of Xymox was. Pieter maakt al jaren muziek, maar door de experimentele inslag ervan is dat net iets moeilijker aan de man te brengen.
La Compañia Parpadeo is het nieuwste dansproject van Pieter Nooten en Miryam La Lucha. Een project dat handenvol geld kost, klik onderaan om te zien hoe je Pieter en Myriam kan helpen.

Eastern Front‘s third album entitled EmpirE will be released on Cacophonous Records on 30th September 2016. EmpirE focuses on the concept of building an empire through bloodshed and devastation, and is the first record to feature their new vocalist Marder, female and ferocious. Black metal titan Dani Filth also features as a special guest on the album and fully supports the Ipswich based band and their inclusion in the Cacophonous family.
Due to circumstances outside of their control, Cacophonous had to postpone the release of Dimmu Borgir’s Stormblast re-issue. A new release date will be announced soon. Bal-Sagoth’s Battle Magic will drop one week later than originally scheduled, so will now be released on 16th September.
EmpirE, het 3e Eastern Front album, zal uitgebracht worden op 30september op Cacophonous Records. EmpirE is een concept album dat focust op hoe wereldrijken worden gebouw door bloedvergieten en vernielingen. Tevens is het de eertse plaat met Marder, hun nieuwe woeste vocaliste. Black metal titaan Dani Filth levert een gastbijdrage op het album. Bovendien staat hij volledig achter de band uit Ipswich en dat die opgenomen werd in de Cacophonous familie.
Door omstandigheden buiten hun controle, diende Cacophonous de release van Stormblast, een Dimmu Borgir re-issue, uit te stellen. Een nieuwe releasedatum wordt weldra aangekondigd. Batlle Magic, een Bal-Sagoth re-issue, komt er een week later dan voorzien en wordt dus op 16 september wereldkundig gemaakt.
