This is (so far) the most 'serious' work done by Erasure, but sadly also one of the most underrated albums of the 90s(!)
Most of the tracks runs 6-7 minutes (71 minutes total), and they all show how Vince Clarke can make his famous analogue synthesizer, the Oberheim Xpander, sound emotional.
The album, 'Erasure', even though many fans disliked the album, does in fact also show their well known trademark of electronic (but not necessarily techno) pop.
This album IS Erasure's most beautiful album. The opening Intro 'til the 10 minute track, "Rock Me Gently", is a complete, melodic joy. The only track I don't really appreciate is "Grace" (track #6).
"This is as close as we'll ever get to ambient", Vince Clarke commented when this album was released. I certainly hope that they'll give it yet another try, because this one is definetely an extraordinary work. It must have required a lot of effort to make some of the more complicated arrangements, such as the long synth solo on "Rock Me Gently", work.
Perhaps the reason why this album failed to "win the crowd" was that nobody expected Erasure to write long ambient tracks?

'Fingers and Thumbs (Cold Summer's Day)' is the track on this album that sums it up. Far more thoughtful than the band's usual lightweight pop, it is lush and emotive and is possibly my favourite song from the synth duo. 'Rock Me Gently' is another strong track; Andy Bell has foregone the camp theatrics for once, and his maturing voice perfectly complements Vince Clarke's restrained (are we talking about Erasure here?!) keyboards.
This may have been released when the band were in danger of slipping from the public's consciousness, but it is a powerful statement that there is more to this band than frothy chart music; it also represents the point at which the band grew up. Highly recommended for those who are unfamiliar with Erasure, and a must have for fans.

This album is a fantastic sonic experience. The songs are all very strong, the arrangements gentle, rhythmic and synthetic but suit the tracks pretty much perfectly. Erasure have hit many highs over the years, but this will stand the test of time more than their other more contemporary-soundng material. Listen to it in headphones, and let each track grow on you, as they all will. I wish I could have written this stuff!

An underrated album
I'm not into superlatives, so I'm not going to describe this as the best album ever - music is too personal for that. Read more

A masterpiece out of nowhere
This is one of the few CD's I would take with me a desert Island. After a few mediocre albums by Erasure, this one was a big (and a pleasent) surprice. Read more

Probably the most underrated album in the world ever!
From the first to the last, this album lifts and lulls you and drags you around on a synthesizer ride of dramatic proportions- a real rollercoaster. Read more

It seems as if when the nineties started to draw to a close that Erasure turned their backs on the style that had made them famous in the late eighties and early nineties and... Read more
