MARTIN GORE - MG EP FULL DETAILS

Full details have been released of Martin Gore's new e.p. MG E.P.

It will be released on 9 October on double 12" and features five tracks including two new ones. The tracklisting is:

A: Europa Hymn (Andy Scott Remix)

B1: Brink (Virgil Enzinger Vinyl Edit)

B2: Pinking (Christoffer Berg Remix)

C: De Nada

D: Gifting

The e.p. can be pre-ordered from Mute here http://www.mutebank.co.uk/mutebank/mutebank/MG-EP/4VRU0000000

Now, you might remember from a previous piece on here (click) that Martin was running a competition for fans to submit a remix of Featherlight for inclusion on this release. As the keen eyed among you will see, there's no such remix on the double vinyl set. The winning remix by Mantra Of Machines might end up available digitally but there's no word on that yet. Have a listen to it below. On his Facebook page, Martin said that the task of choosing the winner had left him "on the verge of madness" - hopefully that means he had fun.

NEW MARTIN GORE REMIX E.P.

Hot on the heels of this year's superb MG album (review here), the marvellous Mr Martin Gore has announced the release of a double vinyl remix e.p. which will come out on Mute records on 2 October. As well as the MG remixes that have already seen the light of day such as those by Christoffer Berg (Pinking) and Andy Stott (Europa Hymn), the e.p. will feature two previously unreleased tracks and a remix of Featherlight by a fan as part of a remix competition.

The stems for Featherlight can be downloaded here and all entries must be submitted by 21 August by uploading them to Soundcloud. The winner will be announced on 31 August. I'm going to have a go and you should too.

More news on the e.p's name and final tracklist as it arrives. Meantime, here's Andy Stott's remix of the superb Europa Hymn to get your competition entries inspired
