4AD will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Throwing Muses’ debut with the band’s first-ever compilation, a 21-song set called ‘Anthology’ that will come with, in its initial limited release, a hard-back book and a bonus disc with 22 additional B-sides and rarities.

The second and final release by Dalis Car — recorded by Peter Murphy and a dying Mick Karn last fall — will be a five-track EP titled ‘InGladAloneness’ and out as early as next month.

The surviving members of Throbbing Gristle have relaunched their Industrial Records imprint in order to reissue the bulk of their late-’70s/early-’80s catalog and release the band’s final studio album: a long-in-the-works re-interpretation of Nico’s 1970 record ‘Desertshore.’

U2 finally is set to release its long-expected reissue of 1991’s ‘Achtung Baby’ later this year paired with a re-released edition of the band’s 1993 companion album ‘Zooropa’ in a combined ZOO TV-era box set, Rolling Stone reports.

Erasure today announced the completion of ‘Tomorrow’s World,’ the group’s first new record in four years, which will arrive this fall on Mute Records and be accompanied by a 25-date North American tour.

For a band with just one album and a handful of EPs and singles, Bauhaus spinoff Tones on Tail already has been the subject of more than its share of compilations, and now comes another: ‘Weird Pop,’ a double-vinyl best-of that features at least one previously unreleased cut and several other rarities.

No stranger to odd musical detours — whether it be ‘Metal Machine Music’ or his most recent project, ‘Hudson River Wind Meditations’ — the legendary Lou Reed has a particularly unlikely musical partner for his next album: thrash-metal titans Metallica.
