Fresh, direct and scorchingly hot news…

The big-voiced deal-makers down here at Furious have just emerged from their soundproofed offices with some pretty tasty news for those of you living in North America. You know how we hate to leave you out of things, right? And you know how we were gutted not to be able to get you copies of our recent DVD release, Archive:d - the indispensable guide to all D:visual things. Well, just moments ago the Men With Big Shoulders down at the office lifted the lid on an exciting new development. We've just had clearance from EMI to sell the fantastic Acrhive:d DVD to you direct from our website. This is the first DVD to carry the D: seal of approval, and, at the risk of sounding like some truly awful TV ad, this product will not be available in store.

And just to show that we're serious about keeping things nice and fair, we're making you a deal that we've not offered to anyone else in the world: buy yourself a copy of the Archive:d DVD and well send you not one but two free copies of a very special two-song cd. Containing spectacular tracks from the forthcoming 'World Service' album, 'Majesty (Here I Am)' and 'Rain Down' have already ripped up the mp3.com charts. Sure, you can still download them for free, but sort yourself out with a copy of Archive:d and as well as the bonus of having two copies of the cd to hold in your hand, one of them will be personally signed by the band. The only problem for you is deciding which one to give away…

For those of you who are a little rusty on your D: back catalogue, Archive:d features absolutely everything that the band have ever put out for you to look at and say 'wow' about. It represents 10 years in the life of one of the more visually exciting bands around, including their debut tour film - 'A View From The Terraces' - plus 'Promode', their collection of pop videos. As if that wasn't enough there's a whole vault full of outtakes, uptakes and concert visuals. To put it simply, this DVD is the absolute daddy of them all.

Due to contractual reasons this is a one off. Sadly we can not sell you 'World Service' direct from the site, but hey, these two free tracks should help take the edge off the wait. By the time February 10 comes around and you can get your hands on the stunning new album 'World Service' you'll be well and truly ready for it.
