Press Info (English):
New Order have announced the release of their new album, Music Complete, out on 25 September 2015.

The long awaited album will be New Order’s first full studio release since 2005’s Waiting For The Siren’s Call, and their debut for Mute. Music Complete finds the group revitalised, refreshed and razor sharp, looking to their past while forging forward. Where the group has previously pushed toward synthesisers or guitars, here the two are in balance. Music Complete also marks a return to the studio for Gillian Gilbert, this is her first album with New Order since 2001’s Get Ready.

The album will be released on CD, download and limited edition clear vinyl. In addition, there will be an exclusive 8-piece deluxe vinyl collection that includes the album plus extended versions of all 11 tracks on coloured vinyl

New Order are: Bernard Sumner, Gillian Gilbert, Stephen Morris, Tom Chapman and Phil Cunningham.

Music Complete is produced by New Order, except ‘Singularity’ and ‘Unlearn This Hatred’, produced by Tom Rowlands, who also worked on ‘Tutti Frutti’. ‘Superheated’ features additional production by Stuart Price. Long-term collaborator Peter Saville provides art direction.

Additional Information:
Following the announcement of their first full studio release in a decade, Music Complete, out on 25 September 2015, New Order have announced details of the very special guests on the album: Brandon Flowers, Iggy Pop and Elly Jackson (La Roux) and have released the third in a series of album trailers. See below to hear three different sides of what you can expect from the new album.

Brandon Flowers named The Killers after the band in New Order’s video for ‘Crystal’, and has become a good friend of the band. Here on Music Complete he lends his unmistakable vocals on ‘Superheated’, giving the album a fittingly epic closer.

Following an enthralling guest appearance performing ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ at the Tibet House benefit in New York last year, Iggy Pop now applies his unique tones to ‘Stray Dog’, creating a brooding track that blends perfectly with the eclectic array of sounds on Music Complete.

Featuring on ‘Tutti Frutti’ and ‘People On The High Line’ and providing backing vocals on ‘Plastic’, Elly Jackson first supported New Order on their 2014 tour with her band La Roux, starting a mutual appreciation of each other’s work.

Press Info (German):
Das lang erwartete neue Album von New Order wird das erste Studioalbum der Band seit dem 2005 veröffentlichten Album Waiting For The Siren’s Call sein und ist außerdem das Debütalbum der Band bei Mute.

Energetisch, frisch und messerscharf klingen New Order auf Music Complete. Ihr musikalisches Erbe trifft auf einen neugefunden, unbändigen Willen, nach vorn zu schauen.
Gaben sie bisher dem Synthesizer den Vorzug über die Gitarre, sind auf dem neuen Album beide Stimmen gleichberechtigt vertreten. Music Complete markiert zudem die Rückkehr von Gililian Gilbert zur Band. Zum ersten Mal seit dem 2001 erschienenen Album “Get Ready” hat sie bei der Studioarbeit aktiv mitgewirkt.

Das Album erscheint auf CD, als Download und auf Vinyl in einer limitierten Auflage in klarem Vinyl. Außerdem wird es exklusives 8 LP Boxset geben, in dem sowohl das Album, als auch extended versions aller 11 Albumtracks auf unterscheidlich koloriertem Vinyl erscheinen wird.

New Order sind: Bernard Sumner, Gillian Gilbert, Stephen Morris, Tom Chapman and Phil Cunningham.

Music Complete wurde von New Order produziert, bis auf die Stücke „Singularity“ und „Unlearn This Hatred“, die von Tom Rowlands produziert wurden, der auch an dem Track „Tutti Frutti“ mitwirkte. „Superheated“ wurde von Stuart Price produziert. Peter Saville, der langjährige Kollaborateur von New Order, hat auch diesmal wieder das Artwork gestaltet.

Ergänzung:
Der Ankündigung der Veröffentlichung ihres neusten Studioalbums lassen New Order nun die Gästeliste des Werkes folgen: Brandon Flowers (The Killers), Iggy Pop und Elly Jackson geben sich die Ehre. Zudem gibt es einen neuen Trailer zu sehen, der eine weitere Facette von Music Complete spiegel (siehe unten “Music Complete: 3”).

Brandon Flowers benannte seine Band The Killers nach der fiktiven Band in New Orders Video zur 2001er Single “Crystal”- und ist über die Jahre zu einem guten Freund geworden ? er leiht dem epischen Schlussstück des Albums, “Superheated”, seine unverwechselbare Stimme

Nach einem packenden Livemoment mit New Order im New Yorker Tibet House im letzten Jahr, bei dem Iggy Pop “Love Will Tear Us Apart” sang, sprechtsingt der “Godfather des Punk” nun die Stimme bei “Stray Dog”, einem brodelnden 80-Wave-Pop-Spoken Word-Anthem.

Mit Feature-Performances bei “Tutti Frutti” und “People On The High Line” und Background-Gesang bei “Plastic” empfiehlt sich Elly Jackson. Ihre Band La Roux und New Order waren im letzten Jahr miteinander auf Tour – der Beginn einer gegenseitigen Bewunderung.

Details Limited Vinyl Box:
8 piece deluxe vinyl collection.
New album on double clear vinyl.
Extended versions by Gareth Jones (4x), Steve Dub (2x), Richard X (5x) of all tracks on 6 vinyls.

Press Info (Englisch):
Martin Gore, songwriter and founding member of Depeche Mode, announces the releases of ‘MG’, an evocative 16-track electronic instrumental album out on 27 April 2015 on Mute.

Written and produced by Martin Gore, work began on ‘MG’ following the final dates of Depeche Mode’s ‘Delta Machine’ tour in March 2013 at Gore’s home studio in Santa Barbara. An entire instrumental album had been in his thoughts for some time, particularly since he has been writing instrumentals for Depeche Mode since 1981.

“I wanted to keep the music very electronic, very filmic and give it an almost sci-fi like quality,” Martin explains. “Music is a necessity for me. I go into the studio at least 5 days a week, every week, so once I had the idea and the template, the process was quick and fun.”

‘MG’ is a soundtrack to an emotional and mysterious film of your own design.
From the Angelo Badalmenti – like atmosphere of ‘Elk’ to the industrial electro swagger of ‘Brink’, it landscapes a unique and arresting vision.

After finishing recording ‘MG’, Martin asked Q to mix it which seemed a perfectly natural choice as he previously mixed VCMG, Martin Gore and Vince Clarke’s 2012 album, ‘SSSS’.

Explaining the decision to release the album under the acronym, MG, Gore says, “As the album is very electronic and has no vocals, I felt it deserved another persona so decided to carry on the MG concept from the VCMG album.”

‘MG’ showcases another side to this multi-talented musician. “As a songwriter, I am aware of the power of words,” Martin admits. “Especially when they are juxtaposed in the right way with chords and melody. I am also aware of the power of pure music and the emotions that can be created by musical atmospheres and that is what I wanted to capture with this project.”

Press Info (German):
Martin Gore, Songwriter und Gründungsmitglied von Depeche Mode, kündigt die Veröffentlichung of MG an, seinem 16 Tracks umfassenden, elektronischen Instrumental Album, das am 24. April bei Mute erscheinen wird.

Jetzt schon lässt sich daraus der Vorgeschmack Europa Hymn hier anhören (siehe unten).

Das Schreiben und Produzieren an Album MG begann Martin Gore im heimischen Studio in Santa Barbara gleich im Anschluss an die letzten Termine von Depeche Mode’s Delta Machine Tour im März 2013. Ein komplettes Instrumental Album schwebte ihm schon länger vor, schrieb er für Depeche Mode Instrumentals im Grunde schon seit 1981.

“I wanted to keep the music very electronic, very filmic and give it an almost sci-fi like quality,” erklärt Gore. “Music is a necessity for me. I go into the studio at least 5 days a week, every week, so once I had the idea and the template, the process was quick and fun.”

MG ist der Soundtrack zu Martin Gores ganz eigenem Kopfkino. Von der Angelo Badalmenti-artigen Athmosphäre in Elk hin zum Industrial Electro Swag auf Brink zeichnet das Album eine fesselnde und ungeahnte Klanglandschaft.

Nach dem Aufnahmen zu MG bat Gore Q (alias Überzone), das Album zu mixen, was ganz logisch erschein, mixte Q zuvor bereits VCMG, Martin Gore und Vince Clarkes (Erasure) 2012er Album SSSS.

Danach gefragt, warum Martin Gore sein Solo Album unter dem Namen MG veröffentlicht, antwortet er: “As the album is very electronic and has no vocals, I felt it deserved another persona so decided to carry on the MG concept from the VCMG album.”

So kurz das Akronym MG auch zu sein scheint, so breit ist das Abgebot, das uns Musik-Multitalent Martin Gore hier präsentiert. “As a songwriter, I am aware of the power of words. Especially when they are juxtaposed in the right way with chords and melody. I am also aware of the power of pure music and the emotions that can be created by musical atmospheres and that is what I wanted to capture with this project.”

Press Info:
T C F is the moniker of Norwegian contemporary artist and experimental computer musician Lars Holdhus. His work explores themes of code, cryptography and privacy through the use of visual, sonic, built and written concepts.

Often the titles and descriptions of his work are written in cyphertext, the key to which is hidden within the piece itself. His forthcoming release on Liberation Technologies will further this cryptographic theme, consisting of digital and physical content containing the necessary keys to unlock the full meaning of the work.
