Erasure release a brand new album, Union Street, on 3rd April 2006. The release, their first full-length acoustic album, coincides with an intimate UK tour, starting on 14th April in Edinburgh and includes a date at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire on 19th April (full dates below). The new album, Union Street, sees Andy Bell and Vince Clarke reworking classic tracks from throughout their incredible career, which began 20 years ago and has seen the band notch up 32 consecutive Top 40 hits, most recently with Here I Go Impossible Again/All This Time Still Falling Out Of Love from 2005's Nightbird album.

"We just felt there were songs on our albums that had been missed as songs," says Clarke. "We found this cool guitarist [Steve Walsh] with a cool studio [Union Street] and decided to use both."

Fresh from the international success of their Number 1 album 'Playing The Angel', Depeche Mode return with the LP's third single 'Suffer Well' on 6th March.

Powerful, hi-synth electronica at its best, 'Suffer Well' witnesses a return to form for the band and is a highlight of their critically acclaimed live show, which Q Magazine recently described as 'tremendous'. Featuring remixes by Narcotic Thrust and Metope, the single is released on CD, Maxi CD, DVD, 7" and two 12" vinyl, boasting exclusive remixes and bonus material.
