The British synthpop giants said they will release a CD/DVD package entitled Live in Berlin, which features two hours of footage filmed in the German capital during their 32-nation tour.

Along with concert footage from the 02 World arena in Berlin, the album due out on November 17 will feature an acoustic set recorded at Salon Bel Ami, a famous high-end brothel known for its plush decor. The brothel closed in 2011 when its owner was sent to prison for tax fraud.

Corbijn said in a statement that Depeche Mode enjoyed a strong following in Berlin, which is renowned for its electronic music scene.

“Berlin has a special place in the hearts of Depeche Mode,” said the Dutch photographer, who came to prominence in part through his pictures that captured the darkness of Joy Division.

Depeche Mode which has put out a string of hits since the 1980s earlier enjoyed success with their 1989 two-disc live album 101 filmed at the Rose Bowl stadwium in southern California.
