[ 30.01.2007 ] - «Mute Audio Documents» Box Set

«Mute Audio Documents»
«Mute Audio Documents»

Mute Records presents «Mute Audio Documents» Box Set - 128 tracks over 10 CDs, it is a unique insight into the musical development of the label and its artists, highlighting the influence, the success and, most importantly, the great music produced since its inception in 1978.

«Mute Audio Documents» is a collection of Mute's single releases from 1978 to 1984 and includes the first 4 double CD volumes of an ongoing series plus a 2CD rarities album exclusive to the box set. The series will feature all the a-side and b-side single tracks released by Mute in addition to album tracks by the artists for whom there were only album releases.

Mute emerged in the post-punk era. It was a new era of pop democracy, and anyone could make a record. You didn't even need to know three chords, according to Mute founder Daniel Miller. All you needed, he said, was an idea.

His idea was to create a classic of DIY pop – a double a-sided 7" single featuring the songs «T.V.O.D.» and «Warm Leatherette». He called himself The Normal, designed a sleeve with Letraset, stuck the name Mute on it, and accidentally started a record label.

You only have to listen to the music gathered on these 10 CDs to see how Mute became the blueprint for maverick independence and sonic adventurousness – a blueprint that countless labels follow to this day.

The documentary evidence is here. All you have to do is listen.

Volume 1 1978 – 1981

Featuring: The Normal, Fad Gadget, Silicon Teens, D.A.F., Non, Robert Rental, Depeche Mode, Boyd Rice and Smegma.

Volume 2 1982

Featuring: Non, Depeche Mode, Fad Gadget, Die Doraus Und Die Marinas, Yazoo and Liaisons Dangereuses.

Volume 3 1983

Featuring: Depeche Mode, Duet Emmo, Robert Görl, Yazoo, Fad Gadget, The Assembly and The Birthday Party.

Volume 4 1984

Featuring: Einstürzende Neubauten, Fad Gadget, Robert Görl, Depeche Mode, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, I Start Counting, Bruce Gilbert, Boyd Rice and Frank Tovey.

Volumes 1-4 will be available separately later on in the year, but the exclusive 2CD rarities album, which features the legendary live recording of The Normal & Robert RentalLive at West Runton Pavillon, live tracks from Depeche Mode, Fad Gadget and Yazoo plus John Peel and David Jansen session tracks from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Yazoo in addition to Boyd Rice variable speed versions of tracks from the «Black» album, will only be available as part of the «Mute Audio Documents» Box Set.

Daniel Miller has, for nigh on 30 years, been at the helm of a unique and groundbreaking label, which has gained a reputation as one of the most consistently successful, adventurous and challenging labels in the world. With offices in London, Berlin and New York and a roster that includes renowned international artists such as Depeche Mode, Moby, Erasure, Goldfrapp, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Richard Hawley, «Mute Audio Documents» unashamedly celebrates the label with a remarkable box set detailing both the known as well as the not-so-well-known tracks (some of which are available here for the first time on CD) and the promise of more volumes in the near future.

The «Mute Audio Documents» box set includes exclusive sleeve notes by Chris Bohn, Stephen Dalton, Ian Johnston and Dave Henderson, comprehensive historical CD booklet and exclusive original poster for The Normal.

«Mute Audio Documents» Box Set will released on March 26th, 2007 via Mute.

[ 18.01.2007 ] - «Year Zero» from Nine Inch Nails

Industrial rockers Nine Inch Nails has set «Year Zero» as the title of its new album, which is due out April 16th, 2007 and follows up 2005's «With Teeth». «It could be about the end of the world», the band's mastermind Trent Reznor wrote on the official NIN web site.

Reznor described the upcoming album's as «a collage of sound type of thing, not heavy in a metal guitar kind of way.» He added, «With this record I feel a lot less concerned about what people think about it — especially the dying record industry. I couldn't care less about that right now.» Reznor also revealed that the new effort is a concept album and «part of a bigger picture of a number of things I'm working on. Essentially I wrote the soundtrack to a movie that doesn't exist.»

Reznor said that most of the album was recorded «in hotel rooms around the world on laptops», with very few musicians beside himself and «maybe some surprise vocalists that pop up here and there.»

When asked why the new record took less than 2 years to arrive when the last one took 6, Reznor said, «I'm probably as surprised as some fans are (laughs). But really it's just a matter of discipline. When I was on the last tour, to keep myself busy I was just really hunkered down and was working on music the whole time, so this kept me in a creative mode and when I finished the tour I felt like I wasn't tired and wanted to keep at it.»
