[Source: Side-Line, February 5th, 2007]
That is at least what a few sources told us lately and since several of those correspondents provided us with correct info over the past years (including the DM back catalogue story, months before it was confirmed by the label), we decided to run the story today.
In a nutshell, Mute/EMI would be considering to release a Depeche Mode packet holding at least a live recording of the famous "Violation" tour. We say 'at least a live recording' because there would be problems releasing a DVD of the tour due to the insufficient quality of the available footage. However this problem might be overcome by 'remixing' the complete video footage so that the final result would be worthwhile after all.
At this point it is all very premature and everything would depend on whether Dave Gahan and Martin Lee Gore plan to release yet another solo record or not. More details as we get them in. For now, let it be a wet dream, but apparently one that could well happen. Right now there is still enough 'new' Depeche Mode material being released to spend some hard earned green ones on. Out by March 26 for instance will be the remastered editions of the cult albums "Black Celebration" and "Construction Time Again". Just like the previous albums they come in a CD/DVD version featuring a documentary and 5.1 surround mixes.

BAND PROGRESS REPORT
http://www.depechemode.com/
The band are currently on a break, after the conclusion of their successful "Touring The Angel" world tour. In the coming months, watch for news on what new projects the boys have in the works. In the meantime, be sure to check out The Archives area of the site, which will now be updated weekly with new content (audio, video, images and more). In fact, the first update was this last Friday...
ROCK AM RING 2006
http://archives.depechemode.com/video/live_concert_footage/20060604_rockamring.html
In the first Archives update (of many) of 2007, you can find three tracks from the Rock Am Ring date of the "Touring The Angel" tour. Judas, Stripped and Photographic - all full length video streams!
There was a decision to be made. 90 second excerpts from multiple shows, or a few select songs from each show, in full length. We think you will agree that a full streaming song or two is better than multiple excerpts. More coming, so stay tuned throughout the year! We're back to Friday Archives updates! End your work week with a new DM Archives update!
Now, for the release news...
NEXT BATCH OF REMASTERS
http://remasters.depechemode.com/

Many of you noticed that the board (for lack of a better term) died late Thursday night. There was an issue with our web host, but as of now (2:43 pm PST, Saturday), everything is almost back to normal. We will re-enable the custom icons shortly. Also, if you had an avatar, you will have to add it again. We are sorry for the downtime.

Toast Hawaii
[Source: Side-Line, October 2nd, 2006]
ClientToast Hawaii, the record label of Depeche Mode member Andrew Fletcher, has lost its only band, Client. The news was already known for a while in smaller circles but has now been confirmed by Kate Holmes to Side-Line: "It was a mutual decision as Andy was touring with DM for most of
2005-6 and we didn’t want to stop Client and wait. We also became disillusioned with the way Mute got swallowed up by EMI. We still see Andy though as he lives round the corner from us. Maybe he will come on tour with us next."
The band has just finished their new album - provisionally called "Heartland" and mainly produced by Youth. The band is now looking for a release somewhere in 2007. At the moment the band has 4 licensing deals which are about to be signed for Europe, Central and North America. Client expects to be making an announcement on their website pretty soon. So what can you expect from "Heartland", the 3rd Client album? Kate: "It is our best material yet and Youth has injected a New Order/NIN edge to the tracks. We also bring back the guitar for this album!"

Brown Owl doc, etc.
Home reports, that the Brown Owl documentary is now excluded from the best of release. Also the Martyr video, directed by Andreas Nilsson, has been rejected and replaced by a "video montage."

BRAT Update
THE BEST OF, VOLUME 1!!!
http://bestof.depechemode.com/
From the press release:
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.
Check out the micro-site...NOW!
LIVE IN MILAN DVD: NOW IN MICRO-SITE FORM
http://liveinmilan.depechemode.com/
We have made a micro-site for the upcoming DVD release. Watch in the next week for new content, including new teaser video clips, wallpaper, and buddy icons/avatars!

MYSPACE
http://www.myspace.com/depechemode
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!).
Be our friend...because ever since the tour ended, Mister Feathers has been rather lonely. :)
