Send to a FriendMARTIN L. GORE, songwriter and one of the founding members of Depeche Mode, will release his "LOVERMAN" EP2+ November 18 on Mute/Reprise Records. This package will include a live DVD filmed in Milan on GORE's recent tour and a bonus CD with two versions of "Loverman," the Nick Cave song that GORE covered on his recent solo album COUNTERFEIT2, described as "an exquisitely passionate homage to some of his most treasured and inspirational songs (Billboard 5/10/03)."

The DVD consists of five live songs from the COUNTERFEIT2 album, plus an exclusive video interview with GORE. The bonus CD also includes two remixes of another COUNTERFEIT2 song: "Das Lied Vom Einsamen M?dchen," a Nico song from her Camera Obscura album.
GORE fans will also want to take note of the "Loverman" 12" vinyl EP which includes three tracks from the bonus CD, plus an exclusive Bola instrumental remix of "Loverman."
Gore's COUNTERFEIT2 album is the second in his Counterfeit cover version series and--like his first Counterfeit release in 1989--is a wildly diverse and passionate collection, recorded at his own home studio in California.
Martin L. Gore
"GORE's COUNTERFEIT2 (Reprise) is the sequel to his 1989 Counterfeit EP, once again taking little-known pop chestnuts and completely renovating them into his lush style. This time, he tackles everything from David Essex's 'Stardust' and John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 'Oh My Love' to Nick Cave's 'Loverman' and Julee Cruise's 'In My Other World.' The results are generally compelling, though at times, the similar treatments all blend together.'
--Glenn Gamboa, NEWSDAY, 5/27/03
"For GORE's solo debut, he makes good use of the contrast between his sugary tone and acidic arrangements. He also did a connoisseur's job of culling material. Unlike most albums of cover songs, GORE hasn't picked the usual suspects...There's an interesting contrast during 'In My Time of Dying.' He treats the traditional number to a futurist arrangement. In a cover of 'Lost in the Stars,' GORE finds a natural ally in the German harshness of composer Kurt Weill. And he does a sensitive take on Eno's odd 1977 pop song 'By This River.'"
--Jim Farber, NY DAILY NEWS, 5/25/03
"?GORE constructs an exquisitely passionate homage to some of his most treasured and inspirational songs from an array of such artists as Lou Reed, David Essex, John Lennon, and Kurt Weill. From sardonic left-field pop and sci-fi lullabies to haunting hymns and engrossing electronic torch songs, GORE's reworkings sparkle with visceral emotion, aching vulnerability and sublime intensity."
--Craig Roseberry, BILLBOARD, 5/10/03
"On his own, without the parameters of the Depeche Mode sound and image, Martin Gore is one musically eclectic animal. COUNTERFEIT2, the second solo outing from the DM songwriter, guitarist and sometimes singer, is even more experimental than the first Counterfeit, which was released as an EP in 1989....intriguing, particularly the R&B-ish 'Loverman' and the haunting ballad 'In My Other World.' You'll find yourself slowly mesmerized by the disc's aura."
