So langsam blicke ich nicht mehr durch – hatte bisher gedacht, dass ich mit der „New Blood Deluxe Edition“ alles abgedeckt haben würde … :roll:
Like last year’s Scratch My Back covers album, New Blood is a studio recording that sees Gabriel ‚re-imagining‘ tracks with arrangements that dispense with guitars and drums and make heavy use of a 46-piece orchestra. Unlike Scratch My Back, New Blood uses Gabriel’s own songs as inspiration, with the track listing including classics such as Don’t Give Up, Mercy Street and Digging In The Dirt.
In addition to the standard single-disc & digital download, New Blood will also be available as a special edition 2-CD version which will include the standard album plus a disc of instrumental versions with an added bonus track. In addition, there is a heavyweight vinyl version that comes with a bonus 7“ featuring A Quiet Moment and Solsbury Hill. CD formats and download are due on 24 October 2011. (The vinyl will be available from November 7th). See below for full track listing.
New Blood Live In London is a 22-track live album with performances taken from a two date residency at London’s Hammersmith Apollo in March this year. The songs are performed with the New Blood Orchestra and are effectively the debut live performances of the ‚re-imaginings‘ found on the forthcoming studio album New Blood (all the tracks on New Blood are included on the live album).
New Blood Live In London
New Blood Live In London will capture all the vibrancy of the gigs with their huge onstage screens with graphics and animation. The concerts were filmed in using 3D cameras and directed by Blue Leach.
New Blood Live In London is available on DVD, 2D Blu-ray, and 3D Blu-ray. There is also the option of a 3D Blu-ray Triple Pack which contains the 3D Blu-ray, 2D Blu-ray and DVD. Due for release on 24th October 2011. See below for full track listing.
New Blood Deluxe Edition
Just when you thought your choices were straightforward, a deluxe edition of New Blood will also be released which features both the New Blood Live In London DVD and Blu-ray and the New Blood studio album housed in a 60-page hardback photobook containing over 200 photos. In addition, exclusive to this deluxe edition is Live Blood, a CD with a selection of highlights from the New Blood Live in London concerts. Therefore, this is a four disc deluxe edition. It does not include the instrumental bonus disc included with the 2CD special edition of the New Blood studio album. This deluxe edition will also be released on 24th October 2011.
