Press Info:
SACD Re-Release
Depeche Mode re-issue a 2-disc SACD version of the hit live album ‘101’ on 2nd February 2004.

A top 10 hit on its first release in March 1989, ‘101’ was recorded on 18th June 1988 at the Rose Bowl, Pasadena as part of the band’s break through tour ‘Music For The Masses’.

The Rose Bowl was the 101st date and the climax of the pivotal tour that helped launch the band headlong into the musical mainstream.

Alongside the songs from the live album, the highs, lows and hysteria of the tour formed the raw materials from which the acclaimed documentary ‘101’ was forged. This now legendary film was directed by celebrated filmmaker DA Pennebaker, whose work with Bob Dylan on ‘Don’t Look Back’ set the standard for music documentaries. ‘101’, according to Pennebaker, ‘is the most interesting, fun film we’ve ever done’ and was released on DVD for the first time last November.

‘101’ is a fully remastered version of the 1989 live album and is released on Hybrid SACD format. This new enhanced format delivers improved audio quality and is the ideal way to experience the excitement of a band on the cusp of worldwide domination.

The double SACD features 3 distinct versions of the concert. A remastered stereo CD version which is playable on all CD players. A remastered stereo SACD version and a remastered 5.1 surround sound SACD version.

DVD Re-Release
Depeche Mode release the legendary DA Pennebaker film ‘101’ for the first time ever on DVD coupled with their classic concert ‘Live At The Rose Bowl – June 18th 1988’ on 10th November. This highly collectable DVD package features over 3 hours of footage and includes recent interviews with Martin Gore, Andrew Fletcher and Dave Gahan filmed by DA Pennebaker especially for this DVD.

1988 was a pivotal year for Depeche Mode. It was during their ‘Music For the Masses’ world tour that they exploded into the musical mainstream. The Rose Bowl concert was the 101st and last date of the tour and both discs capture a band and their audience at the height of their love affair.

Acclaimed film-maker DA Pennebaker was best known for his seminal Dylan film ‘Don’t Look Back’ in addition to his work with Hendrix and John Lennon. Yet it was his marriage with alternative pioneers Depeche Mode that produced the frank and honest film ‘101’.

“It was the most interesting, fun film we’ve ever done,” Pennebaker said.

“That tour and that film was so important, especially for the perception of the band,” says Martin Gore. “We’d always been on the brink, especially in America but that 1988 tour was the first time we headlined big arenas, the first time the band really took off.”

“There was something special about that whole time,” Dave Gahan adds. “After that concert I remember sitting down in the dressing room and I just cried. It was just so emotional.”

Andrew Fletcher echoes those sentiments: “It was one of the most amazing tours I’ve ever been on and a breaking point for alternative music in the US. The Rose Bowl was the first time that alternative radio sold out a big show in the US.”

Integral to both the DVD and the concert was the relationship between band and audience. A competition was held nationwide where a bus load of winners followed the band around. Some of those fans are interviewed for this DVD and still remain in touch with Depeche Mode.

18 June 1988 was a day to remember for the 60,453 fans who attended the show. Now we can relive the day through the eyes of one of cinema’s most accomplished documentary makers.

Notes From DepecheMode.com
The vinyl version of the album is missing “Sacred”, “Nothing” and “A Question Of Lust”. Original pressings came with a photo book.

The original pressings of the CD came in a slipcase. Later pressings came in a jewel case.

The first pressing of the SACD version of the album was mispressed (track index mark errors, and some multi-channel playback issues). All pressings of the SACD came with a hidden bonus track, the full length version of “Pimpf”.

Press Info:
Some are waking up from hibernation, celebrating a comeback after years. Others are bringing together years of experience, pouring it into a very special 2-hour live set. All of it rounded off by our forever resident closing. (Bring him a banana if you see him weakening – we need that engine running.)

Coming from Berlin, we’re inviting AKUA (pronounced [ah-quee-yah]). A Ghanaian-American DJ with roots in North American techno, yet a sound that resonates far beyond. She’s been on our list for a long time, but timing never worked out – until now. We’re more than happy to finally have her with us.

LSP LIVE stands for Lucas Buchmann, Sascha Brüning, and Philip Firek – coming together for a special 2-hour live set. Expect analog and modular hardware in full effect.

The night opens with SCRIPTED, bringing an ambient-to-breaks set with deep UK influences – digging up sounds that haven’t been heard in (10) years.

Closing the night: STEFAN TEWS.
No introduction needed. You know what’s coming.

IN MEMORY OF RICHARD H KIRK

Recorded on the UK Tour Oct-Nov 2025

LP & CD available: cabaretvoltaire.tmstor.es

Stephen Mallinder: Vocals, bass, keyboards, samples
Chris Watson: organ, modular synths, samples, field recordings
Eric Random: Keyboards, guitar
Oliver Harrap: Electronic percussion

The album was engineered and mixed by Benge, recorded by Joe Peat, mastered by James Trevasus with artwork by Dan Conway and Paul Burgess, based on Conway’s live visuals on the tour.

“… these songs resonate as loudly as when they were first created” – 4/5* MOJO

“It’s a blistering reminder of a back catalogue that stretches from Dada cut-ups to honorary status as house music influencers” – 8/10* Uncut

“As captured here [Cabaret Voltaire] were on blistering form” – 4/5* Classic Pop

“…amazing” – MusicOMH

Marking 50 years since the live launch of one of Britain’s most influential electronic bands (at the Sheffield Students Union Refectory on 13 May 1975), Stephen Mallinder and Chris Watson were joined by Eric Random and Oliver Harrap for an eagerly anticipated and long-awaited tour.

But What Time Is It Really? perfectly captures the mood of the UK dates. Fans travelled across the world to see the band present new arrangements of classic Cabs tracks such as ‘Sensoria’, ‘Crackdown’, ‘Do Right’ and ‘Spies in the Wires’ alongside ‘Tinsley Viaduct’, a contemporary piece of musique concrète composed by Chris Watson.

Press Info:
Kr!z steps up for his sixth label contribution with four chilling cuts, pushing his sound into bolder territory than ever. ‘Inferno’ could mean many things, but at first listen it could be interpreted as a homage to the unforgiving nature of the club experience. Stripped down to the bare essentials, these tracks showcase the efficiency of simple ideas spoken with authority.

‘Inferno’, as an EP and its A1, focuses on the brutality of weight in minimal elements. The spaces between the crunched lead are filled only with the continuity of a whipping drum machine. Sucked in and spit out, Kr!z delivers a whirlpool of sonic motion for the ultra focused stretch of a long set. Intrigue remains constant as tension is maintained, and the track’s elements are truly pulled together by wailing synth keys that distort heavily off the stereo field. As the centerpiece of the EP, ‘Inferno’ uses the brutality of this sound design to guide hysteria into each section as well as bouncing off the texture of the lead, complete with brisk percussion switches. ‘Gridlock’ follows in its predecessor’s footsteps, but not without its own point to make. Vintage in its construction yet cutting edge in resolution, Kr!z builds up and breaks down drums over a single chord-like synth that grinds through the record like heavy machinery. The pure distortion of this chord destroys any hope for harmonics in its wake, an intentional decision by Kr!z to dirty up his sound design and saturate his output for a result that drives the dancefloor into dissonant hysteria. The swing between each hit and the silence between the sections are an increasingly harder pull into his urgent narrative as ‘Gridlock’ spirals along into the B side of the record. ‘Level Zero’ is painted in the same color as the others, but provides a familiarity that highlights Token’s influence as a record label since 2007. A detuned, resonant synth sequence plucks its way along ‘Level Zero’ for true mechanical dissociation. Here and there, Kr!z sprinkles in some tonal variations to hold attention while insisting on the brutality of his initial loop. Sweeping his filter and shaking the rides, we arrive at the final part of the record ‘The Great Forgetting’. The tonal switch of this song is a good indicator that it’s the closing, making things lighter with a clean pad and playful drums. The genre almost feels like a hybrid; Kr!z steps away from the chaos and into a controlled euphoria that winds down ‘Inferno’ on a high note while keeping control of his dancefloor.
