The tour follows the September 25 release of their compilation An Introduction To… Crime & The City Solution / A History Of Crime – Berlin 1987 – 1991  via Mute.  The tracklisting was chosen by the band from three Berlin era albums: Shine (1988), The Bride Ship (1989) and Paradise Discotheque (1990).  It also features the band’s swansong, “The Adversary”, from the film Until The End Of The World (Wim Wenders, 1991).  Preorder your copy HERE.
