Depeche Mode Release Fragile Tension

• 13th Nov 2009

Having spent most of 2009 taking their acclaimed ‘Tour Of The Universe’ around the world, Depeche Mode bring their sensational live show to the UK in December and release an indispensable 8-track CD on December 7th.

The CD features ‘Fragile Tension’, ‘Hole To Feed’ and some very special remixes of tracks taken from their 12th studio album ‘Sounds Of The Universe’ that topped the chart in 21 countries.

Written by Martin Gore and produced by Ben Hillier, ‘Fragile Tension’ features exquisitely placed electronics pulling in wild and different directions. ‘Hole To Feed’ written by Dave Gahan marries modern electronics to a floor-shaking beat. The lyric, a blend of rock-star swagger and tender yearning, is vintage Dave Gahan.

Depeche Mode – Dave Gahan, Martin Gore and Andy Fletcher have always been at the forefront of remix culture. Pioneering and innovating remixers in their own right, their music has been an inspiration for some of the very best remixers in the world.

The ‘Fragile Tension’ / ‘Hole To Feed’ 8-track CD includes remixes by Laidback Luke (Swedish House Mafia), Peter Bjorn & John and Joebot. Also featured is a Roger Sanchez Club Mix of ‘Perfect’ and SixToes remix of ‘Come Back’.
