• It’s your mini midweek edition of The Purge and it’s a whole new version of the latest Goldfrapp album ‘Silver Eye’. The deluxe edition was announced by the team at Inertia just yesterday; the label confirming the LP’s Australian release on Friday July 06. The new version will come complete with new artwork (pictured above), along with an eight track bonus disc of remixes and alternate versions, including a new rework of album closer ‘Ocean’ featuring Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan.
