This week’s new releases include the belated U.S. issue of the new studio album from The Church (“Further/Deeper”), plus a reissue of OMD’s “Junk Culture,” a new Art of Noise compilation, a CD/LP box set of The Go-Betweens’ early work, plus a Stiff Little Fingers live album.

Tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave featured music from The Cure, Southern Death Cult, And Also the Trees, Severed Heads, Alien Sex Fiend, Coil, Pink Turns Blue, The Mission, Chrome, The Naked and the Dead, Specimen, Bauhaus and more.

The Waterboys have a long history of covering Prince’s epic “Purple Rain” in concert, and here’s another great take on that classic: Mike Scott and Co. on Friday performed a stripped-down cover of the song live on the air during the BBC’s “Chris Evans Breakfast Show” — which you can watch in full here.

Welcome to the Week in Rock, where we round up all of the headlines posted on this site over the past week. This week featured items about The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream, New Order, Kraftwerk, Tom Tom Club, Game Theory and more — plus we’re giving away Daniel Ash’s new album Stripped.

Last night, BBC Four aired a 2013 documentary on German electronic-music legends Kraftwerk that includes footage of the group’s album-by-album residency at London’s Tate Modern that same year, as well as new interviews with the band along with rare and archival clips.

For this week’s installment of Vintage Video, we present a full 50-minute MTV broadcast from 1986 that finds Gene Loves Jezebel — back when there was only one incarnation of the band — performing at The Ritz in New York City circa the release of the band’s third album, Discover.

Last year, Daniel Ash embarked on a crowdfunded recording project to remake songs from his back catalog in new, stripped-down arrangements. The resulting album, Stripped, features re-recordings of some of his favorite tracks — and we’ve now got CD copies to give away to four lucky Slicing Up Eyeballs readers.
