I've read on the internets that an announcement will be made on October 11 for a 2017 album & tour.

All circulating audio recordings from the 1993 "Devotional" Tour are now available to stream & download.

So, yesterday I had my 101st "climb" up to small mountain near my town, so what else could I do but take Depeche Mode - 101 with me, right? :-)

Don't worry, it was not loud, there are deers and such and I am a silent observer usually.
To not be off-topic completely - I can't understand people on the edge of immediately buying Depeche Mode concert tickets... like if DM were good band live, not with that two outsiders on stage with them and without someone preparing interesting live versions. I will take 1 new CD over 5 world tours any day. 101-Devotional were great though! :-D

Somebody screwed up... looks like some tickets went on sale for next year's tour, which is called Global Spirit Tour, seems like that's the album title too.

I like the sound of that.
Throbbing Member
Perhaps, but Dave Gahan is still an incredible frontman and brings so much energy and physicality to every performance I've seen, so it's worth it for me in that regard alone.

Depeche Mode Announce New Album ‘Spirit’
The legends Depeche Mode are back with a brand new LP, supposedly due out in Spring 2017.
Recorded in Santa Barbera and New York, and produced by James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco, Spirit has just been announced at Depeche Mode’s Milan press conference. The samples they played sound highly modern, skirting the line between massive bass, blues-leaning melancholy and the synthetic pop they helped pioneer.
It will almost assuredly be a huge deal—in case you didn’t realize, Depeche fans are rabid.
The group will also be embarking on a 2017 tour titled Global Spirit. Full dates to come.

I can't help but feel like this press conference was mostly just a huge waste of time and a quick press release with tour dates would've sufficed. Especially with answers like these to every question:
Martin: "I think it did, but we don't really want to get in to the new album too much at this point because it's not released until next spring. So we'll be coming back to do more promotion and to talk about that then."I'm still looking forward to the album and tour regardless, but I feel like all of this was fairly pointless.Dave: "I think that you have to wait and see really, as we said, we're still forming that, but it's definitely I think, a very uplifting and thought-provoking feel and sound to this record."
Also, maybe it's been answered further up, and if so I apologize, but is there a reason the new video compilation isn't on blu-ray? Even if they took the lazy route and didn't remaster in HD (which seems ridiculous), they could at least use blu-ray discs for capacity purposes. Then it could be a single disc, maybe two.

Throw this Danish interview through Google Translate and you'll get some good info: http://gaffa.dk/artikel/111620/depec...ndt-os-sammen/
No Blu-ray presumably due to cost it would entail - not just for the media / packaging / etc, but keep in mind that the original master tapes were dug out for each of these videos and digitized, "remastered" (what that means we'll have to see the DVD to find out), etc... to add Blu-ray "restoration" cost on top of that, and it may have been something that Sony did not want to spend at this time.
I am still going to purchase this item, because of the prospect of future legacy releases. Even if this item just ends up sitting on my shelf, I want to show my support for what hopefully will become a series of additional worthwhile releases, namely live stuff, unreleased tracks, demos, etc...

1994: last time DM in Australia.
Every time they announce a new tour I hope they have aussie dates but they never bloody do. What's with that?
Active Member
I'm sorry, Ryan. That's just bizarre. Have you ever had a chance to see them, then?
I was nobody. Nothing.
hey, well they aren't coming here this time either.
i'll come to your house with a bottle of whiskey and a bunch of depeche mode albums if you like, if you have a spare room.
Stubby Member
understand your frustration...
I've seen them twice now that I'm living in Europe but they never toured Aus.
Do they have a fear of flights...
Active Member
Australia does seem to be a generally terrible market for bands, I guess the fact that it's so isolated/closed off and the travel costs really make it a slog? I've always noticed most acts seem to, at most, hit a couple of festivals in Melbourne or something and call it a day, or they pair it up with New Zealand dates as well.
Even so, it's truly weird for them to have gone over two decades without playing there.
Active Member
I guess Japan is another one of those markets and it looks like they haven't been there since 1990. Not cool.
Cubby NIИtastic
Yeah it's weird how they brand their tours as "World" tours (and this one even is "Global Spirit") when they typically only do Europe and North America. At least they plan on doing South America this tour, too? There's no reason for them to have neglected Japan/Australia for so long. Even if it wouldn't be as profitable for them, they'd more than make up for that with their umpteen sold out German stadium shows every tour. They should be playing for their fans, not solely to make a buck. Grabbing hands..
Stubby Member
It's very strange.
I might have to go to one of the festivals in Europe to see them. As i might have already missed out on the gig tickets already.

32 years ago today: 1984-11-30 St. Jacobs Sporthalle, Basel, Switzerland. I just added a crystal clear sounding FM broadcast master source, stream and download it here: 1984-11-30 St. Jacobs Sporthalle, Basel, Switzerland/Source 1

not sure if its been posted. but it sounds lovely.

I'm really digging the neon aesthetic and the return to more electronic sound after the last album going more into their blues-influenced territory. I've enjoyed all of their more recent albums, even if they weren't always what I'd want them to be, so I've got no doubt that I'll enjoy this. Just need some FL tour dates so I can finally see these guys after years of wanting to.
