Brilliant Boxset! 22 Feb 2009
By Craig Taylor VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
When I first saw the price tag, I was put off a little, but on recieving this item I can say that it is worth every penny! The set consists of all 40 hits (all the singles), as stated on the cover plus loads of extras.
The package is in the form of a book, with the 4 discs kept in the front and back cover with 40 pages of quality photos and information about the band throughout their career.
The first cd is the 20 hits, plus the Who NeedsLove Like That Remix we heard on the original Erasure Pop, with improved sound quality. The second CD consists of the more recent suff from Erasure and there are plenty of hidden gems! The 3rd cd contains 15 great live tracks both album tracks and singles and the final disc the DVD contains loads of great rare Erasure footage, from the early days to more recently!
If you already own most of the tracks in this set I would still recomend this as the book is really worth it as is the live CD and dvd, all beautifully packaged.
Highly recommended for all erasure fans, if you're new to the band there is always the 2 disc editiion avalible which is at a lower price, but this is worth every penny!

Format:Audio CD
I've never had pop idols, but Mr. Clarke and Mr. Bell are the only exceptions to this fact and it's quite simple to explain this. They make Pop Music as Pop Music was supposed to be: delightfully melodic + lyrically accessible without being silly. I mean their "I love you, baby" songs cannot be taken as disposable just because they own that differential called consistency. They are one of those rare pop bands that can associate simplicity with sophistication. Yeah, it's possible to make intelligent pop without writing intricate lyrics (or nonsense ones that critics love to praise)! Besides, Erasure have one of the best pop voices ever + the deservedly most celebrated synth genius.

This truly extraordinary compilation brings many of their best tunes, but they really own at least another forty songs (among non-single album tracks and even b-sides) with the same perfect pop appeal than these 38 ones (I dislike "Heavenly Action").

The first cd is "Pop! - The First 20 Hits" remastered, so it's the same party for every erasurians' ears with a plus. It's noteworthy to point out here the beautiness of the 4 single ballads, since "The Circus", "Ship Of Fools", "You Surround Me" and "Am I Right?" are all among the best singles of this 1st age on Erasure's career, but they hardly get the same recognition than their most dancey hits.

The 2nd cd, which has been properly called as Pop 2, can already be considered as the most underappreciated pop collection ever, since most part of its 19 tracks weren't exactly radio hits. "Don't Say Your Love Is Killing Me", "Freedom and "Here I Go Impossible Again" aside, the other sixteen ones are nothing less than brilliant. Well, but those other 3 ones are pretty enjoyable anyway. Thus, it's definitely not "patchy and dispensable", on the contrary, it's a second compilation that just serves to highlight Clarke & Bell's uncomparable talents as pop songwriters. Anyway, Mr. Darren Lee wrote a review kinder than usual for an Erasure's album, since most critics seem to love to hate them indeed.

In short, this is a double cd able to bring a big smile to anyone who isn't converted to the bland pop that is made nowadays. Oh, but don't take me for a grumpy uncle, since I love Mika, Lily Allen, Scissor Sisters and Gnarls Barkley. These 00's four acts are 'good nephews' to the 80's pop ones like Erasure.

And now, please, give me a big smile, goths!

P.S.: A person is considered an *erasurian* when he/she owns every albums released by Erasure.

Erasure must be one of a select few bands who can genuinely boast 40 hit singles, even in a career lasting 24 years. From vibrant and vacuous early numbers such as 'Oh L'amour' (later covered even more successfully by plastic pop puppets 'Dollar), to more mature and intense tracks like 'Drama', 'Chorus' and 'Stop'; you'll be amazed at how many of the songs on here that you recognise. Even in the mid-90s, after their bubble had burst, Erasure continued to produce quality pop songs; the likes of 'Breathe' and 'Here I go Immpossible Again' showing a maturity and deftness of touch that hasn't deserted Vince Clarke yet, even as the band's distinctive brand of synth-pop has gone in and out of fashion.
Without a duff track on it, this is great buy and an essential collection of inspired pop nuggets.

Nostalgia fans will like this, but looking back we came a long way since the electronic pop of the 80's and 90's. Read more

OK but ...
At the time of buying this twin pack cd, it was the same price as the 1st 20 hits, so thought why just get the 20 hits..40 must be better. Read more

Erasure - Total Pop!
Nice hits collection of this group, including the released single versions of the songs (not all of the compilations include them).
Published 22 months ago by Joseph
SUPERB!
An absolutely wonderful trip done memory lane. Erasure demonstrate that even 20 years on their music is still fresh & livley. A must buy for all those 80's music lovers.
