PLACEBO release “Bright Lights” (the new single version mixed by Dave Bascombe) today in UK, France, Australia and on February 26th in Germany. This is the third single to be taken from the album Battle For The Sun.

For any fans who got the chance to see Placebo live during their current Winter Tour, you will have been treated to the new arrangement of the song.

Available on the varying formats of “Bright Lights” you will find a new remix by the up and coming UK Drum and Bass producer Randomer, an exquisite live semi-acoustic version of “The Never-Ending Why” from the SFR session in France, plus the stunning new video for “Brights Lights” exclusively on iTunes.

1997 was a great year for music. Hiphop was getting unprescendented airplay, rock and metal were seeing strong sales, and even country was at a high point.
1997 was a great year for Depeche Mode as well. They released Ultra, an album that is no less than a masterpiece, possibly their best one at the time, and it could still well be the best they’ve done.
Classic tracks are all over this disc, and not just the four singles (“Barrel of a Gun”, “It’s No Good”, “Home”, “Useless”). “Sister of Night” and “The Bottom Line” are phenominal, as is “The Love Thieves”.
Super dancy, rock as fuck, and darker than a black hole, Ultra is in my own personal Music Hall of Fame.
10 out of 10.
