On Friday, Depeche Mode announced a U.S. tour, the final leg landing in Florida with a stop in Tampa on Friday, September 4, at a yet-to-be-named venue. (DM has also scheduled a stop in Ft. Lauderdale Saturday, September 5.) Today, the band unveiled cover of their new album, Sounds of the Universe, to be released in the U.S. April 21 via Capitol/Mute. On the same day, the band is also putting out a three-CD special edition package-of-Mode-fans'-dreams that includes bonus tracks, remixes, and 14 demos as well as a DVD with all kinds of goodies and two 84-page hardback books with lyrics and photos.
