4.0 out of 5 stars Long time Erasure fan, 12 April 2006
By Victor "Victor" (Burntwood, England) - See all my reviews
Received this CD as a gift after I dropped a few hints.
I like the album the more I listen to it, it is so different from what Vince and Andy have done previously and I like it. It is cetainly one to relax with. There will be those that will not like it, but hey thats life. I do like it. Andy shows how versatile his voice and it is a joy to listen to. The backing music and vocles are not obtrusive and shows what a talented singer he is. Backed by Vince this due have stod the test of time and im my opinion do not get the air time on the radio etc that deserve. This CD will join the many I play regulary.

3.0 out of 5 stars Union Steet - for fans only, 19 April 2006
By D. Cook "Last_Drum73" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Just bought the album. Its a step aside from the electronic pop we're used to and its not all bad.

First things first, the album artwork is the worst i've seen (apart from Roger Taylors Electric Fire album) The drawings of Vince and Andy are unflattering (Vince looks like a cross between an alien and a POW) Guys, did you actually approve this artwork before release or is it Mute's fault?

The Songs contain 11 mainly album songs (never released) 1 B-side and i think 2 singles.

1. Boy - the first single. Why? It wasn't one of their best and this version (actually improves on the original) but should not have been a single.
2. Piano song - original version and instrumental from WILD are beautiful, and this version is good and almost fragile sounding. Very nice, one of my faves from this album.
3. Stay with me - should have been the single, should have got airplay, should have been promoted. Excellent version and better than the original in my books. Andy's voice is strong and emotional and the instuments are wonderfully played.
4. Spiralling - average - original much better and beautifully sung.
5. Home - from the CHORUS album, very good version and sound is fantastic.
6. Tenerest moments - another wonderful version, MUTE release this, because you'd be fools not too! Amazing song and is better than the original as a B-side.
7. Alien...not bad, average song that should not have been released as another album song.
8. Blues Away - Andy...why falsetto on this one? Original version on ISAYISAYISAY is wonderful. The instruments sound rushed, Andy seems barely able to keep up with them and sounds as though he needs an anaesthetic.
9. How many times? Listen to this and you'll want to slit your wrists...the original was depressing as well.
10. Love affair - nice version.
11. Rock me gently - excellent version sounds as though its from an stage/opera show. Very grand.

An album for fans i think overall.

4.0 out of 5 stars A collection of superb Erasure ballads!, 9 April 2006
By A Customer
After 2005's fantastic return-to-form album 'Nightbird', 'Union Street' is a welcome break from the bands synth/high energy pop sounds- showing just how well some of their classic tracks hold up as raw, stripped and emotional song craft. The album features classic B-sides and a few singles from various Erasure albums of the past 20 years including 'Loveboat', 'Wild' and 'Cowboy'. Standout tracks are 'How Many Times' and 'Rock Me Gently', but the best track on this acoustic album has to be 'Stay With Me' from 1995's self-titled record 'Erasure'. Strong vocals and perfectly-timed instrumentals create again that Vince Clarke and Andy Bell magic that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand right up! Another brilliant, but refreshingly different Erasure album for 2006. Every fan should buy this record! Lets hope there's also more new material to come in the near future. 8/10
