Madrid, June 3 (EFE) .- Andrew Fletcher, keyboardist and founding member of Depeche Mode, flirts with the dream of the band's retirement after thirty years of success. "I like to think we can retire after a couple more albums," says the musician, who advances to the first could be ready in April. Efe Speaking on the occasion of the new compilation of his group, "Remixes 2: 81-11", published on Tuesday, are already looking forward to the continuation of "Sounds of the Universe" (2009), his former studio album, although there is still no concrete work address.
"Martin (Gore) has begun to write songs and like Dave (Gahan). We are not a band that follows a predefined path, but we are going to study and grasp the atmosphere that we find, "says Fletcher, who estimates that if they record after the summer, could be ready for spring 2012." We many records remain to be done, "says the musician, who has sold 75 million copies of Depeche Mode, according to EMI, and that becomes the exception that proves the rule, acknowledging he would not like to follow in the spotlight" as long as the Rolling Stones.
" In this regard, jokes that are already "old men" to deal with the long process of making an album and touring, return to the family. Until all these plans materialize, his supporters will enjoy a few days the second album of remixes of this legendary band, "Remixes 2: 81-11", which more than a continuation, is an extension of "Remixes 81-04" , with new material.
Among the unpublished works, which are attached to others and "classic" of their songs by M83, UNKLE, Trentemøller and François Kervorkian, are the work of Stargate and Röyksopp, among others.

" However, despite the new remix album arrives just after the previous seven years, with only two studio albums in between, ruled that there will be a third party.

Johnny Cash, one of our idols, even did a version of 'Personal Jesus', "celebrates Fletcher, who nevertheless rejects the category of" superstars. "We are normal people who go to bars, movies ..." said the musician, one of the first to dignify the electronic music and synthesizers, that both bands have influenced all ages, including young and successful Hurts.
