New Wave Outpost Forum

I went ahead and signed up for this... the only troubling thing is that the Trenotmoller mix of 'Wrong' is not listed on the iTunes Pass version, but it is listed on the standard perorder page. Here's hoping they take care of the fans who sign up for the iTunes Pass version.

Basically, this is a subscription model, where you pay up front and then over the course of a number of weeks, you're supposed to get additional content aside from only the main album. Cost is close to twice as much as the cost of the album by itself. We'll see if it pays off...

Here's the press release. There more coverage on various tech sites, also:

"of the first iTunes Pass with groundbreaking electro legends Depeche Mode. With iTunes Pass, music fans can get new and exclusive singles, remixes, video and other content from their favorite artists over a set period of time, delivered to their libraries as soon as they're available.

The first iTunes Pass debuts today in conjunction with Depeche Mode's forthcoming 12th studio album, "Sounds of the Universe," to be released on April 21 in the US. Fans who sign up starting today get the alternative/dance pioneers' new single, "Wrong," as well as the Black Light Odyssey Dub Remix of the new track "Oh Well." They will also receive the new album on its street date plus great music and video exclusives before and after the album's release over the next fifteen weeks. The Depeche Mode iTunes Pass can be purchased starting today for $18.99."

Trenotmoller remixing Depeche Mode!?!? This I have to hear!

I guess the real question is, will we get the same tracks that are on the deluxe box set? I'm guessing no, but the press release is kinda ambiguous on that. Sounds like something where you'll have to quadruple-dip in order to get everything. God I love the music industry.

That's where the power of P2P comes in.

Got my first email today. The video for 'Wrong' is available to download.

I heard the promo single for "Wrong" the other day. It's got a nice grinding synth sound with a set of desparate lyrics. I like it. I suppose they'll never recapture the magic of their early period (ending with 101), but Ultra was such a deep nadir that anything that isn't as terrible is an improvement!
