Toast Hawaii - the album... March 31st, 2008 (updated Apil 1st, 2008)
When the band were recording their "Black Celebration" album, the boys took a break, and recorded a full album of "oldies". Named "Toast Hawaii" (after Fletch's favorite food item at the recording studio cafeteria, and later used as the name of Fletch's record label), the album has not been heard outside of the "inner circle" of Depeche Mode's friends since the 1986 recording...until now.
All copies of the album were thought lost, until Mr Gore found a cassette copy of "Toast Hawaii" in a box of old cassettes. After extensive remastering, the project is ready to be released.
Following recent web releases by bands such as Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails, the "Toast Hawaii" album will be a web release. Starting April 8th, fans will be able to purchase multiple formats of the album:
$10: The full album in your preferred digital format (AAC, MP3, FLAC, WAV)
$20: The full album in digital format, along with a copy of the album on compact disc, autographed by Fletch.
$40: The full album in digital format, along with a copy of the album on compact disc, not autographed by Fletch.
Creo q se entiende claramente,
dice q mientras graban "black celebration" los muchachos se tomaron un descanso y registraron este albun llamado "toast hawaii" (las tostadas eran el desayuno favorito de Fletch en la cafeteria del estudio de grabacion, este nombre mas tarde fue utilizado pàra el sello de Fletch), este albun no habia salido a la luz desde 1986 (osea del circulo de amigos de la banda) hasta hoy...
si se me escapo algo o entendi mal lo q lei, les pido q lo corrijan...
A sample of "Tutti Frutti" is available below. A full micro-site will be up within a few days. Stay tuned!
Tutti Frutti:
30 segundos no funciona el link por ahora...
April 1st update: Yes, this was a prank. Along with the "Tutti Frutti" link above not working, the entire web site was hard-coded to randonize all the links on every page of the site. You were not going crazy, and neither was your computer. While the band did record a set of covers during Black Celebration, the recordings are not being offered for sale. Thank you for all of your emails and message board posts.
