Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It has taken former butcher Andy Bell twenty years to get around to presenting a solo statement on electronic dance-pop. Of course he’s been a tad busy selling over fourteen million records alongside Erasure partner Vince Clarke, but finally he has found time to bring us fourteen personal tracks collectively called Electric Blue. Co-written and recorded with Manhattan Clique (aka Philip Larsen & Chris Smith of Erasure, Moby, The B-52’s, Stereophonics and Goldfrapp fame) the album features duets with Claudia Brucken (Propaganda and Act) and Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters) and embraces a surprising range of sounds. The expected camp-house anthems ("Caught In A Spin", lead single "Crazy") are contrasted by grittier material like the futuristic title track and "I'll Never Fall In Love Again", and periodically punctuated by romantic ballads such as "Runaway" and "Fantasy". A pop-tastic take on dance music from one of the scene’s true veterans.--Paul Sullivan

A Poptastic Treat,
By
This review is from: Electric Blue (Old Version) (Audio CD)
Andy Bell, one half of one of the most successful pop duos ever, Erasure, brings forth his first solo offering, and a rather excellent one it is to. It does obviously have some Erasure flavour running through it, but at the same time it has an very individual Andy Bell stamp on it. With are treated to Andy's great vocal range in tracks that have a much bouncier feel than what we heard on Erasure's last, and rather brilliant album, Nightbird. Stand outs for me are the top 40 smash "Crazy", the stomper "Shaking my Soul" and one of the best ballad synth tracks I've ever heard in "Fantasy". Downside is the Scissor Sisters collab. which really doesn't do anything for me at all. This is a delightful album and a refreshing change to all the guitar based sound the sames that are currently drowning the music scene. 4 on 5 as Alan Partridge may say.

Fabulous!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Electric Blue (Old Version) (Audio CD)
Andy Bell has taken this album straight to where Erasure should have gone over the past few years - it's electronic disco at its best!Stand out tracks are Caught in a Spin and Crazy, the first single from the album, together with the fabulous Runaway and I'll Never Fall in Love Again. The hotly anticipated duet with Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters) is sadly rather disappointing but the rest of the album certainly makes up for it. Buy this album now!!

Wow,
By A Customer
This review is from: Electric Blue (Old Version) (Audio CD)
This is the first review I've ever written for a CD I've purchased. Normally, I just either can't be bothered or don't have the time. As a long time Erasure fan (in excess of 40 CDs of theirs), I was a little skeptical of this offering. Would it have the Vince sound? Who are Manhattan Clique? I mean, I liked some of their Erasure mixes, but could they pull of a production effort on an entire CD? Well, if you've ever found yourself foot-tapping to an Erasure tune, get this CD. There are some *outstanding* tracks here. And, do yourself a favour a get the Crazy CD single with the mixes. Well worth it. Excellent, Andy. Just excellent.
