27 Jun 2007 - The Verve Reform

The Verve have announced plans to reform, with live dates scheduled for later this year.
??
The seminal, original line-up confirmed plans for a tour and new album today, in an unexpected announcement.
??
In a statement, Richard Ashcroft, Nick McCabe, Simon Jones and Pete Salisbury revealed the news, seven years after they split.
??
The statement says the group returned to the studio in London last week and are: "Getting back together for the joy of the music."
??
The Verve broke-up in 1999, prompted by the disintegration of the relationship between Ashcroft and McCabe, in the aftermath of their landmark "Urban Hymns" album.
??
Their tour calls at:
??
November 2007
??
02+03 Glasgow Academy
05+06 Blackpool Empress Ballroom

'Prey' features the evocative vocal style and guitar talents of Bluesman Joe Richardson. Born in Southern Louisiana, Richardson spent years immersed in the murkier side of New Orleans life and offers a unique commentary on conflict, religion, incarceration and personal struggle.

Alan Wilder’s 30 years in the music industry has seen him go from studio assistant to session keyboard player, but it was his 14 years as a member of Depeche Mode where Wilder really honed his skills. Recognised by many as the dominant musical force and cited for his attention to detail in the studio, Wilder pushed the boundaries even within the restrictive climate of commercial pop. As an antidote to the demands of the Mode, his studio project Recoil was born in the mid-eighties.

Wilder's skill at blending diverse and eclectic musical styles with often controversial subjects has produced an album of complex sonic imagery and expansive dynamic range. ‘subHuman’ asks us to reach within ourselves and extract the very essence of what makes us human - and more importantly what allows us to subordinate others, sometimes with the most brutal consequences. We are all subHuman in somebody’s eyes.

27 Jun 2007 - Dave Gahan - Hourglass

Depeche Mode front man DAVE GAHAN will release his second solo album - HOURGLASS - in late October (exact date to be announced). The Mute release is the follow-up to his 2003 solo album Paper Monsters, which marked his debut as a full-fledged songwriter. The disc earned critical acclaim worldwide (with Q magazine citing it as one of the Top 50 Albums of the Year) and spawned sold-out solo tours of the U.S. and Europe (as captured on the 2004 live DVD release Live Monsters).
??
Gahan's growth as a songwriter was represented on Depeche Mode's 2005 album
Playing The Angel, the group's first album to feature Gahan originals; his three contributions included the single "Suffer Well." A two million worldwide seller that vaulted to Number #1 in eighteen countries, the album was accompanied by a 2005-2006 international tour reaching 2.5 million people across 30 countries.
??
While Depeche Mode is catching their breath, Gahan recently returned to the studio to record an array of songs that would become HOURGLASS. Created without the pressure of a deadline, Gahan wrote and produced all the songs in collaboration with Christian Eigner (drums) and Andrew Phillpott (guitars) of the Depeche Mode touring band. They worked at Gahan's 11th Floor Studios in his adopted hometown of NYC where he's lived for the past 10 years. Tony Hoffer, known for his work with Beck, Air, the Kooks and the Fratellis, has been tapped to mix the album in July.
??
Gahan says HOURGLASS is more electronic-sounding than Paper Monsters, "but we were very aware of the importance of keeping urgency in the sound and a feeling of spontaneity. We didn't want to get bogged down in trying to make everything sound perfect. You want to keep the rough edges."
??
Gahan adds: "Christian plays drums and Andrew can easily find his way around bass and guitar - and then we're basically cutting all this stuff up and fucking with it by using ProTools, effects and all kinds of stuff. Accidents do happen, and they're good."
??
With its themes of racing against - and running out of - time, the songs on HOURGLASS dig deeper into Gahan's psyche. "I'm still that teenager who's desperately trying to grow up, but in total fear of it really happening," he says. The album's tracks include "Saw Something," "Use You," "Endless," "21 Days," "A Little Lie," "Deeper and Deeper," "Love Will Leave," "Down," "Miracles," "Tomorrow" and "Kingdom."
??
Stay tuned for news on the album's first single.

Cat Goscovitch signed to Sony when she was a teenager, released a record under the name of "Nut", escaped from the music business to study martial arts in a temple in China and is back with new tracks co-written with Pete Evans ( House of Love) and Steve Hillier ( Dubstar).
"Every song is about love in all its different forms - obsessive love, self-love,so called real love, the kind of love you feel as a crush. Songs are usually just about romantic or sexual love, I wanted to explore it in all its different forms."
