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.

Press Info:
Depeche Mode – Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andy Fletcher – are unique. For nearly 25 years they have been making groundbreaking music, which has influenced generations of artists.
Depeche Mode have always been at the vanguard of remix culture since its inception, and the history of Depeche Mode is inextricably linked with the history of the remix. Very early on in their career the band worked closely and extensively with up and coming remixers who would go on to become pivotal figures in the field including Francois Kevorkian, Adrian Sherwood, William Orbit, Portishead and Air.
“Remixes 81-04” is a 2-disc set spanning over 20 years of Depeche Mode’s pioneering remixes. Almost a greatest hits collection, the album is a compendium of Depeche Mode classics remixed by some of the best remixers in the world, including Underworld, Goldfrapp, Air, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Timo Maas, Flood and of course Depeche Mode themselves. It is also released as a limited edition triple disc set, featuring a bonus disc of highly collectable and rare remixes. At once a celebration but also an historical record of the evolution of the remix, the album is a fascinating and deeply rewarding document of an emerging art form.
Highlights include a brand new remix of “Halo” by Goldfrapp, “Barrel Of A Gun” by Underworld, “Home” remixed by Air as well as a new mix of “Enjoy The Silence” by Mike Shinoda.
The limited edition bonus CD features remixes of “A Question of Lust” by Flood and “World In My Eyes” by Daniel Miller plus a William Orbit mix of “Walking In My Shoes” and a Danny Tenaglia mix of the hypnotic and seductive “I Feel Loved”. Also included are brand new mixes by Goldfrapp, Ulrich Schnauss, Colder and Rex the Dog.
The release of this album will be preceded by the single, “Enjoy The Silence”, featuring mixes by Mike Shinoda, Timo Maas and Ewan Pearson, plus additional tracks mixed by LFO, Blackstrobe, Goldfrapp and Headcleaner. The single is released October 18th on Mute Records (October 19th on Reprise Records).
“Depeche Mode is one of the most influential groups of our time”, says Mike Shinoda on one of his favourite bands, “Their music is an inspiration to me, and I am excited for our fans to hear my take on one of my favourite Depeche Mode songs.”
Alison Goldfrapp adds: “Depeche Mode are the only electronic band to have risen above their own genre and it was a privilege to have worked on such a great track”.
A sentiment echoed by Timo Maas; “We were proud to be asked to remix, “Enjoy The Silence”…. but Depeche Mode are a seminal band and the track is one of the top 10 all time classics… it wasn’t easy when the melodies are burned in your brain. I think it worked out pretty well though”.
“It’s a dangerous business messing with the classics”, confides Ewan Pearson, “I always swore blind I’d never do a remix of something I loved so much, but of course, when you’re asked it’s impossible to say no. “Enjoy the Silence” is one of my favourite singles of all time – I still have my battered 7 inch copy and I guess its one of the reasons why I decided to make music myself in the first place.”
Martin Gore reflecting on the Depeche Mode remix era said, “It’s an amazing feeling to sit back and listen to such an interesting mix of artists take the spirit of Depeche Mode and add another dimension”.
