PRESS RELEASE


Depeche Mode 'Martyr'



Taken from the eagerly awaited Best Of collection, Martyr is a powerful, hypnotic track written by Martin Gore which deftly confirms the band's iconic status.


Produced by Ben Hillier, of Doves and Blur fame, the new single is unrelenting, absolute Depeche Mode and sits immaculately amongst their luminous history. Surging with incandescent synths, a razor-sharp hook and Dave Gahan's emotive claims of being "a martyr for love", it is both irresistible and irrepressible.


Available on two CDs and DVD, ‘Martyr’ is released with a host of extras. CD1 contains the brilliant Booka Shade edit, CD2 features remixes by Paul Van Dyk and Alex Smoke – as well as the track 'Never Let Me Down' - while the DVD boasts the Booka Shade Travel Mix and the Dreher & S.M. Art B.N Reload remix. On the same date, 2 exclusive download only U-MYX versions of the track will be available, allowing fans to make their own remix of their own video of Martyr with no special equipment or knowledge necessary. Users can upload their mixes onto a website where they can review, rate or download other fans' mixes and videos.




New Single 'Martyr'



Released On Mute Records, October 30th



From The Best Of Collection, November 13th



On October 30th Depeche Mode return to the fore with the stunning single 'Martyr' - their first new material since the international Number 1 album 'Playing The Angel'. Taken from the eagerly awaited Best Of collection, it's a powerful, hypnotic track written by Martin Gore and deftly confirms the band's iconic status.


Produced by Ben Hillier, of Doves and Blur fame, the new single is unrelenting, absolute Depeche Mode and sits immaculately amongst their luminous history. Surging with incandescent synths, a razor-sharp hook and Dave Gahan's emotive claims of being "a martyr for love", it is both irresistible and irrepressible.


Featuring 17 their most definitive singles to date - including the hits 'Just Can't Get Enough', 'Everything Counts' 'Personal Jesus', 'Enjoy The Silence' and 'Precious' - the forthcoming Best Of is compiled from 11 of the band's studio albums released between 1981 and 2006.


A special edition 3-disc set 'Touring The Angel: Live In Milan' is released on September 25th. Recorded at Milan's Fila Forum on February 18th & 19th amid their hugely successful European tour, it sees the band at their live best with a pulsing sound, electric stage presence and ecstatic audience. Featuring the full-length live show and a host of exclusive extras, it is available on two DVDs and a live audio CD.


On October 2nd, they release the second instalment of their acclaimed remasters series. 'A Broken Frame' 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion' and 'Some Great Reward' will be available as special edition, collector's items complete with exclusive bonus material, lovingly revived artwork and incredibly rare footage.


Originally titled "Martyr For Love" (working title).

MUSIC VIDEO RELEASE


Martyr



Release 08 October 2006


Written by Martin L. Gore


Produced by Ben Hillier


Video directed by Rob Chandler



Video in which Dave Gahan seemingly sings the song, this being achieved by the succession of short clips of Depeche Mode's videos in which Dave either says the words featured in the lyrics of "Martyr", or he lip-syncs the lyrics, meaning that his lips move in a similar fashion of that when the words in the lyrics are being said.
