Erasure "Tomorrow's World"

Biography

Following the disbandment of the short-lived synth pop group Yazoo, former Depeche Mode member Vince Clarke formed Erasure in 1985 with singer Andy Bell. Like Yaz and Depeche Mode, Erasure were a synth-based group, but they had stronger dance inclinations, as well as a sharper, more accessible sense of pop songcraft, than either of Clarke's previous bands. Furthermore, Erasure had the flamboyantly… Read more in Amazon's Erasure Store

By Burjiz
Format:Audio CD
1987's "Two Ring Circus" is essentially three Erasure EPs on one CD: we have a selection of remixes, a handful of orchestral re-recordings, and the final third is a set of live tunes. On all counts, the disc succeeds. The better remixes include a smoothed-out reworking of "Sometimes," Dave Powell's remix of "The Circus," and Little Louie Vega's version of "Victim of Love." The orchestral tracks are re-recordings set to a lush string arrangement; the best of these are "If I Could" and "Spiraling," which bring out the best in Andy Bell's expressive voice. In many respects, I prefer these versions over the original album tracks. Of the live selections, the absolute treat is the duo's cover of ABBA's "Gimme Gimme Gimme" which almost outshines the original by the Swedish group. This "circus" is one of the greatest shows on earth.

Thank you. Prompt delivery. I can finally get rid of the tape I've been hanging onto even though I no longer have a tape player!

One song on this 30 Nov 2010
Format:Audio CD
People forget that before Erasure went fully Camp/Cabaret they were a cutting edge electro band that made fantastic edgy pop music. They were even classed as Indie. Anyhow I don't like some of the remixes but you've got to hear the Flood remix of Don't Dance. This is the only reason I purchased this again (I lost my vynil copy). The beat and the build up is awe inspiring and still one of the best dancey tracks I've ever heard. It is honestly up there with New Order's best material when they were in their pomp, well before Hooky and Barney started piling on the beef. One other track is very moving, the ochestral version of If I could which is truly beautiful. They hit their peak with the single Chorus later on but after that it was like Lily Savage on Karaoke.
