Out now is the Anne Clark remix album “Synaesthesia – Classics Re-Worked”. The remixes were contributed by Solomun, Marc Romboy, Johannes Brecht, Yagya, Deadbeat, Andreas Bruhn and Blank & Jones and include new cuts of her biggest hits (“Our Darkness”, “Sleeper in Metropolis”, “Wallies” and so on.

The release is out as a 2CD set and a limited white double vinyl.

Out as well is the reissue of a collaboration album Anne Clark made with German musician and composer Thomas Rückoldt. On “Homage – The Silence Inside” you’ll find songs recorded between 2017 and 2018 paying homage to and interpreting some of her favourite poems from the likes of Sufi poet Rumi, Rainer Maria Rilke, Alice Oswald and so on. The album was originally released in 2018 but was only available through special mailorder.

2020 wasn’t exactly a happy year for Anne Clark, it ended up with no tour at all and a cancer diagnosis.

New Order has announced the release of their video for their latest single, “Singularity,” out March 25, 2016 on Mute. The video is a fast-paced collage of footage taken from “B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West-Berlin 1979-1989”, the story of Mark Reeder’s life in 1980s West-Berlin. Damian Hale, the man responsible for the visuals that make up New Order’s stage show, edited the video. “Singularity” features scenes of a city divided by the Wall showing a cultural inter-zone in which everything and anything seemed possible.

It’s not just a coincidence that Reeder pops up in New Order’s video. In 1981, Reeder formed the synthpop-rock duo Die Unbekannten (later renamed as Shark Vegas) and toured Western Europe with New Order in 1984. In 1986, Shark Vegas released the 12″ single “You Hurt Me” which was produced by Bernard Sumner. In September 2009, he released a collaboration album of reworks of tracks by Blank & Jones titled “Reordered” for which he rewrote and replayed all the tracks. This album features vocals by artists as Robert Smith of The Cure, Steve Kilbey of The Church, Bernard Sumner, Claudia Brücken of Propaganda and Anne Clark. On his last studio album 6 of the 13 tracks feature vocals by Bernard Sumner.

Oh, in 1991, Reeder discovered the teenage Paul van Dyk, guiding and paving his way to build up his now international DJ superstardom. In short, he’s a well connected man.

In the meantime New Order has also been announced as headliner at the Teenage Cancer Trust show of April 23rd at the Royal Albert Hall.
