De/Vision released their best music last year on The Best of De/Vision, and this year they’re releasing their worst songs on Da*Mals. A logical explanation for the name could be that the CD contains all of their oldest music from 1988 to 1992, and typically as a band develops, they grow away from their old sound to like their newest music best. But I’m sure it’s really just a joke. Much of the material on Da*Mals has not been released to date, and there are some early demos and seldom-heard remixes of old De/Vision songs as well. You even get a bonus disc with the limited edition which has never before heard music by ex-band member Stefan Blender.

Da*Mals will be released in exactly one week from today on October 19th. American synthpop fans can rejoice in knowing that Isotank.com has the CD ready to pre-order. If you’re not quite ready to get the CD yet, you can always listen to some of De/Vision’s music on their MySpace page, although it does contain mostly music from their new album Noob.
