One is a fantastic version of Fad Gadget's 'Back To Nature' and the other is an exclusive instrumental.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe three members of Doublespeak are electronic music royalty, the\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003elong list of great bands they've been associated with over the years including Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Erasure, Blancmange, Fader, Wrangler and Creep Show. So it's no surprise their forthcoming debut album, which sees them reworking a selection of cult and classic tracks, is an analogue synth masterpiece. Our cover story is an in-depth interview with the trio, who discuss how the project came together, their wide-ranging choice of material – from Thomas Leer \u0026amp; Robert Rental's 'Day Breaks Night Heals' to David Essex's 'Rock On' – and the crucial role of orange-coloured food in the recording process. It's a hugely entertaining read.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eAmong our other interviews this issue are \u003cstrong\u003eLAIBACH\u003c\/strong\u003e, talking about their most poppy album so far, former Knife man \u003cstrong\u003eOLOF DREIJER\u003c\/strong\u003e celebrating his solo debut, and \u003cstrong\u003eSYSTEM 7\u003c\/strong\u003e’s “unapologetic cosmonauts” Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy reflecting on their enduring partnership.

A limited edition pressing on purple vinyl, we're expecting it to become one of our most collectable records. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe A-side of the single is a striking cover of Fad Gadget's classic 'Back To Nature', a dark slab of electro-industrial musique concrète with touches of Bowie, Eno and JG Ballard. Vince Clarke, Neil Arthur and Benge have given the song a widescreen makeover without losing its noisy and gnarly sci-fi oddness. Turn the disc over for the gently tumbling and softly glowing 'Sunset (Instrumental)'. It's a true synthpop beauty, as seems perfectly fitting for a track that is the first-ever shared writing credit for long-time friends Vince and Neil. \"It's taken us about 50 years to get to this point,\" says Neil, laughing heartily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eAs with all of our releases, this record is only available to readers of Electronic Sound, so grab your copy right away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electronic Sound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57821089726796,"sku":null,"price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/3055\/0604\/files\/ElectronicSound_Issue_137_Doublespeak_bec52269-9645-40cd-b7a5-0f3f1585e06a.webp?v=1781607246","url":"https:\/\/www.schneiderskeller.co.uk\/products\/electronic-sound-137-vinyl-mag","provider":"SchneidersKeller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
