A familiar Erasure pop sound, with a twist of maturity,
By
This review is from: Cowboy (Audio CD)
Erasure are one of the most notable bands of the 1980's with that familiar electropop sound. Unfortunately, their 1980's image seems to have held this album back, which is a shame. This Erasure offering appears to have only sold to Erasure fans, but it deserves a wider audience. It has a mix of previous Erasure sounds, with the energy of their earlier work, mixed with a slightly updated sound. Vince's keyboard work is excellent and Andy Bell's vocals grab your attention with their energy. Tracks like "Save Me Darling" are of such typical Erasure style that they are probably preaching to the converted, but will set any foot tapping and all listeners will be singing along after a few plays It is a shame that this was never a single.There may be none of the smash singles of the 1980's from this album (probably caused by prejudiced lack of radio airplay) but "Cowboy" is one of the best albums to sing along to you are likely to find. If you have ever liked the Erasure sound, buy a copy.

Quality Throughout!,

This review is from: Cowboy (Audio CD)
By 1997 Erasure were definitely losing out on airplay and exposure - 1995's 'Erasure' album was a little too different to the standard 3 minute pop song for a lot of people and I think 'Cowboy' passed by criminally unnoticed. The album is full of potential singles: 'Boy', 'Save Me Darling' and 'Reach Out' just for starters. Singles 'In My Arms' & 'Don't Say Your Love Is Killing Me' deserved far better chart positions than they achieved. Erasure went back to what they were best at and the result was a sparkling, upbeat album that always makes me smile. Get yourself a bargain with this one!

Don't Let the Extra Tracks Fool You,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cowboy (Audio CD)
Every "Cowboy" release I've ever seen in the US has "Rapture" and "Magic Moments". Certainly, it contains fine ballads, but only a couple of songs worth dancing to, and you can't dance to those unless you buy the dance remixes! This album had to grow on me before I could listen to it entirely. Much like the two Erasure albums before it, "Cowboy" contains haunting melodies I love to sing along to. If "Innocents" was your favorite, stay away from this. If you loved "Erasure 1996" or "I Say I Say I Say" then you'll like "Cowboy"

Excellent CD musically and technically,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cowboy (Audio CD)
Much of the CD is not for dancing, but is undoubtedly one of Erasure's most mature works. Vince Clark's writing is very advanced artistically; the engineering is top notch- the sound seems to fill up your head and play between your ears instead of pounding at the center of your forehead.Favorite track: Treasure. Why? It's a great driving song! If you get a chance, put on this song when you happen to be driving in the mountains! My only beef with the CD is that I happen to HATE the Magic Moments song! But that's just me... most others I know love it. Vince and Andy: PLEASE do a remake of Vince's "Only You"! |
