Product Description
Album Description
The album was written and recorded at a private home in Maine, USA. Vince Clarke and Andy Bell alongside producer Gareth Jones converted the house into a recording studio for a month, where they cut ten new electronic songs in the classic Erasure style.
From the Artist
VINCE: This is one of the few songs that existed in part before the Maine hotel room writing sessions. Before we started this album, I was really keen for it not to be mid-tempo - I'm having a mid-tempo crisis! Our albums seem to have got slower and slower, so I started searching for classic funk or disco basslines, put some ideas together with chord changes and basslines underneath, and emailed them to Andy for him to sing over the top. The song, like this album, is quite 'up' and uptempo because we're both in good spaces right now.

That is what I believe the album should have been called. Erasure have been ploughing away now for over twenty years with their distinctive electronic sound. Back in 1990 this album would have hit number one. In 2007 it hit 29 and blew out of the charts. This was a bit of a indication to how well new single Sunday Girl would do and low and behold it proved to be the case. The second single Sunday Girl from the new album hit 33 and will blow out as quick as it arrived. The radio version though didn't do the song justice. A shame really as this album is very good, not excellent, but very good. From opening track Sunday Girl through to track 6 is bubbling, poppy, catchy synth brilliance which was reminiscent of that late 80's early 90's Erasure dance music that had the midas touch. Apart from track seven, How My Eyes Adore You, which doesn't have any affect on me whatsover, we are treated to a comfortable, laid back Erasure with a well polished and mature sound. The question remains whether they are commercially successful again but I really don't they Vince and Andy care that much nowadays. After all they've gone and bought the t-shirt several times already. Sell out tours in the UK and US suggest they do and I admire them in the fact that they keep going, producing what they want to produce rather than what would be marketable. Just how many bands today will be around doing that like Erasure have been doing for 22 years. This is a good album, buy it, don't burn it.

When an album sends shivers up your spine and makes you want to listen to it all over again it must be good! "Sunday Girl" is a superb catchy opener with the chorus reminding me of Abba's "Under Attack". "I Could Fall In Love With You" was a great single and should have recieved radio airplay earlier than it got. Vince & Andy have put together another strong album where really any of it's tracks could make potential singles, for example.. "Storm In A Teacup" "Fly Away" and "Glass Angel"
If your a fan I'm assuming you've already heard it by now, if not don't miss out on an album by one of the finest pop duo's to come out of the 80's and still going strong!

Following the absolute pearl of an album that was "nightbird" was gonna be hard...but this is just as good! it does have the sound and feel of a lot of the early erasure albums...in fact as you listen to each track you hear little bits that remind you of other great tracks and you end up thinking doesnt that sound a bit like... but then its gone and you never quite remember what track it was. its a wonderful listening experience with the exception of "sunday girl" the next single which i think sounds like a left over from andys solo album and "sucker for love" which is a bit too frantic...however both tracks are still good!
the first single "i could fall in love with you" has a similar feel to the "nighbird" album and should have done a lot better but it didnt get much airplay..which is a shame!
standout tracks for me are "storm in a teacup" "fly away""darlene" and the beautiful bittersweet "when a lover leaves you" which is classic lost love done as only erasure do...(p.s. when it starts i thought it was "no limits" by 2 unlimited but it didnt last long!
this album will be a joy to all who have followed erasure for the last twenty years and to the ones who they lost along the way...its a big welcome back!!!

Mainly junk
It pains me to say it but, I really can't express in words quite how poor this album really is. There's only two good tracks: I Could Fall In Love With You and Glass Angel. Read more

Another classic. Whilst many reviewers bemoan the band's lack of airplay, I bask in the knowledge that I enjoy access to some of the world's best music with a select few! Read more
