Depeche Mode's 12th studio album Sounds Of The Universe, is returning with a 12" viny singles collector's edition box set. Sounds Of The Universe — The 12″ Singles, a deluxe collector's edition box set, contains seven 12″ vinyl discs presenting singles — including "Wrong," "Peace," the double A-side "Fragile Tension"/"Hole To Feed" — alongside B-sides, remixes, dub versions and other recordings contemporaneous to Depeche Mode's 12th studio album, Sounds Of The Universe, originally released by Mute Records in April 2009. Sounds Of The Universe — The 12″ Singles offers a full range of ear-grabbing mixes-radio, club, dub and more-of Depeche Mode originals with three discs (Discs Two, Four and Seven) newly compiled for this collection, bringing together B-sides and mixes first released across CD and maxi-singles contemporaneous to the album's release.

When it came time to record the Sounds Of The Universe album, DM's classic core (Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andrew Fletcher) returned to the studio to make their second album with producer Ben Hillier, whose intuitive contributions to their previous studio album, 2005's Playing The Angel, had created new sonic possibilities for the band. Sounds Of The Universe expanded Depeche Mode's vision and repertoire while continuing their tradition of issuing monumental 12″ singles to supplement and compliment their album releases.

From their earliest days as a band, Depeche Mode have championed 12″ vinyl, embracing the format's singular power and potential for innovation. The 12″ single allowed the band to explore new sonic possibilities while the tactile real-world beauty of physical packaging gave Depeche Mode room to develop their consistently sophisticated and commanding design aesthetic. Depeche Mode have used their singles discography as a means of offering fans the opportunity to enjoy left field remixes, rare B-sides, standout concert performances and other exclusive delights.

The seven 12" singles are pressed on audiophile-quality 12" vinyl. The artwork for the box set exterior draws on iconography inspired by the original releases, while the vinyl sleeves themselves feature the original single artwork.
