Dave Gahan has teamed up with Goldfrapp on the deluxe edition of their Silver Eye album. The Depeche Mode man adds his signature growl to a re-recording of album track, Ocean, which features decidedly Depeche Mode-ian synths. “Working with Dave Gahan on the new version of Ocean has been a real honour for us as a band”, revealed Alison. “We’re thrilled to finally share this collaboration with the world.”
It’s not the first time the pair’s musical worlds have collided, Goldfrapp famously remixed DM’s Halo – a version they loved so much they regularly perform it on tour.
Meanwhile, Depeche Mode’s Global Spirit Tour continues to smash records. More than 2.3 million fans have already experienced the show, which was the fifth biggest of last year grossing more than £100 million at the box office. Further South, Central and North American dates in 2018 have catapulted the tour to No.1 in the 2018 box office by generating more than £30 million. Depeche have also just headlined the Isle Of Wight Festival.
