THE BEST OF

http://www.depechemode.com/news/index.html#092906_remasters
Sure, we all know "The Best Of, Volume 1" CD, limited CD/DVD, and DVD compilations come out in November (13 in UK, 14 in US). What you did not know is that Mute has been at work, commissioning remixers to remix the Best Of! A handful of the new remixes are listed on the site. Watch for sound samples, and more tracks, to be announced soon!


LIVE IN MILAN: THE THEATER SCREENINGS
http://www.depechemode.com/news/index.html#082906_screenings
We hope you all enjoyed the US theater screenings. Some of you at the Burbank screening even won free copies of the DVD (I was picking a few winners at the end of the screening). For those of you who did not get a chance to see the screening, remember the DVD is OUT NOW! Check out the micro-site for Amazon.com (and .co.uk) links!

We have a contest up for the next three titles in the Remastered series of CD's (A Broken Frame, Some Great Reward, and SOFAD). On our main site, we are giving two fans a chance to win the US advance promo (CD-R/DVD-R) sets of the remastered discs! Also, on our little MySpace page (not "little" by friend count, but "little" for actual content), we are running an identical contest. So, in total, you have FOUR chances to win the special US advance pressings of A Broken Frame, Some Great Reward, and SOFAD. Good luck!

note: The US disc will be NTSC formatted, because - well - they are US pressings.

MARTYR COVER

On our front page, you will now find the front cover for Martyr. As the single will be hitting radio very shortly, we hope to have sound samples on the site soon. Keep watching (or, alternatively, listen to your radio starting next week). We also have a news item up...check it out.


THE BEST OF, VOLUME 1 - MICRO-SITE UPDATES

http://bestof.depechemode.com/
Online now are the details for the DVD companion release for "The Best Of". It might seem confusing, but it is rather simple. There will be a CD, a limited edition CD with the Brown Owl Films documentary, and a separate "The Best Of" music video DVD. That's the UK version. In the US, the documentary will not be released, and the US limited CD will feature the music video DVD. You still have the option of purchasing it separately as well. Phew...
