A small request...
We have a large number of video clips available on the site (most are in The Archives). In the eight years we have had the site running, we have yet to delete one video clip. As such, we don't need our videos "mirrored" on sites such as YouTube, Google Video, et cetera. To the small minority of you who are uploading our site content to these services, please stop. Thank you.

Hugely influential and hailed by Q magazine as "the most popular electronic band the world has ever known", Depeche Mode follow 25 incredibly successful years of sublime, superlative electronica with their first ever Best Of collection released on Mute on November 13th.

Brimming with 17 hit singles that span their incredible and varied career, this eagerly anticipated album also contains the brand new track 'Martyr' which pulses with their relentlessly energetic sound and it sits immaculately amongst their luminous history. Martyr will be released as a single early November.

With all of the tour things, and the upcoming releases, I just noticed that I never mentioned that the band has an official MySpace area. Truth said, that's probably because I have to spend too much time moderating over it, but regardless... :)

Check out our MySpace area. While it does not offer anything truly exclusive in the way of content (the official site covers that area nicely), you *DO* have the opportunity to connect with a very large number of fellow fans (current count is well over 100,000!).

Depeche Mode cancel Tel Aviv gig

Article located here


Depeche Mode cancel Tel Aviv gig(From our correspondent Gordon S. in Israel.) What was written in the stars for weeks but denied by the band and management has now also become reality. After launching multiple messages in the international and israeli press that the band would for sure come to Tel Aviv for a concert for which already 40.000 tickets were sold, the band has now finally backed out of the event. According to the band it would be the technical staff refusing to fly over. The least one can say is that there are some serious questions marks to be put next to this very late decision. Why did the management and band continue to say the band would perform? Why would the technical staff react so late when they were supposedly informed about the concert taking place anyhow? Obviously the first reactions from Israeli fans is not really positive, here are some we gathered in the past few hours: (Doron K. from Tel Aviv) "Why have they been lying to us for such a long time? Do they think we are retarded?", (Sharon T. from Bat Yam) "The band has made a very easy choice, they can sit nicely in a plane, do a concert here and then fly back. We get tons of dynamite flown over to us from Hezbollah and still we continue our lives. Who is taking the biggest risk here?", (Eben Y. from Petah Tiqwa) "All I can say is that this is disgusting. An insult to us. They earn tons of money on our backs and still can't find the effort to support us, they better play in Iran then...". Other reactions were less extreme but the message remains the same: why was this decision stretched over such a long period?
