4’33” is a cover by Depeche Mode of the musical score by John Cage that was recorded backstage during the final night of the Global Spirit Tour. The composition is unique in that it requires the performer to not play their instruments for the titular duration of the track.
In 2019, Mute Records announced STUMM433, a special release in the MUTE 4.0 (1978 > TOMORROW) series. The release is a box set featuring covers of the contemporary music composition 4'33" by John Cage, a musical score which instructs its performers not to play their instruments for the duration of the piece (hence its title, which is generally four minutes and thirty-three seconds). Depeche Mode were among the dozens of Mute artists to contribute to the project.
