· ‘MG’ is a new instrumental album from Martin Gore, one of
the founding members of Depeche Mode, who have sold
over 100 million records worldwide. Following on from
Martin’s collaboration with Vince Clarke on VCMG’s ‘SSSS’
in 2012, MG sees Martin further develop his love, passion
and respect for electronic music.
· Written and produced by Martin Gore, work began on ‘MG’
following the final dates of Depeche Mode’s ‘Delta
Machine’ tour in March 2013 at Gore’s home studio in
Santa Barbara. An entire instrumental album had been in
his thoughts for some time, particularly since he has been
writing instrumentals for Depeche Mode since 1981.
· “I wanted to keep the music very electronic, very filmic
and give it an almost sci-fi like quality,” Martin explains.
“Music is a necessity for me. I go into the studio at least 5
days a week, every week, so once I had the idea and the
template, the process was quick and fun.”
· ‘MG’ is a soundtrack to an emotional and mysterious film
of your own design. From the Angelo Badalmenti - like
atmosphere of ‘Elk’ to the industrial electro swagger of
‘Brink’, it landscapes a unique and arresting vision.
· After finishing recording ‘MG’, Martin asked Q to mix it
which seemed a perfectly natural choice as he previously
mixed VCMG, Martin Gore and Vince Clarke’s 2012 album,
‘SSSS’.
