19/01/10 – New Nitzer Ebb remix by Alan Wilder

‘Industrial Complex’. The song is entitled ‘I Am Undone’ and Alan’s remix is featured on a bonus disc, to be included with the album due for release by Major Records on January 22nd.

Says Alan: “My version of ‘I Am Undone’ was originally completed at a slower speed, an error made due to running the supplied files at the wrong tempo! (44.1khz instead of 48khz) However, I rather liked the happy accident and delivered my finished mix at the more sleazy tempo. I think it must have been a bit of a shock as Bon and Doug decided to speed it back up to its original speed. Bit of a shame from my point of view but…. oh well.”

For the remix go to: Shunt – the official Recoil Website

To coincide with the release of the new album, and also the Ebb’s support slot on the current Depeche Mode tour, Mute are releasing 2 box sets : the 5 CD CATALOGUE including all the Mute albums – ‘That Total Age’, ‘Belief’, ‘Showtime’, ‘Ebbhead’ (produced by Alan incidentally) and ‘Big Hit’, and the 3 CD COMPILATION – including ‘Body of Work’ and ‘Body Rework’. Both box sets will be available from January 25th.

Mute Store

Mute are also releasing for the first time a Nitzer Ebb collection of b-sides, remixes & rarities, comprising of 60 tracks. The digital album entitled IN ORDER is available now on iTunes.

Alan will be appearing at a few events with Nitzer Ebb either as part of Recoil’s ‘Selected’ Events 2010 Tour, or as part of the Ebb’s own Industrial Complex Tour. Try to catch some of the shows!
