Andy Bell and Vince Clarke Launch their new Album in August. “The Neon offers us warmth and a brilliant brightness in its sound in our strange, silent times. I agree completely. The Snowglobe project was interesting but didn’t quite think World Be Gone gelled for me.
Erasure will release a new album The Neon in August.
But I’m not going to buy it just for that.Ordered – Thanks Paul – I like the new format, you just click add to cart – easy to use and fast! I tried to listen to that album because the songs were actually quite good but the sound of the vocals ruined it for me. The new Pet Shop Boys music is similarly tinny in my opinion. I pre-ordered direct with mute as they are also offering a chance to get a signed art card with 50 ordersThe Limited Edition CD will also be available from Amazon. Old sound back to the 90’s!An intersesting deluxe edition could have been a second disc with all the instrumentals.I have hopes the rest of the album is better. Something went wrong. Both better than Cowboy to my ears!agreed…my two fav erasure albums are those exact two!I love these guys but while the new single sounds great, it doesn’t go anywhere musically…kind of a rehash & of better stuff I have already. Of course there was an analogue aspect to the synthpop records of early Erasure, so that depth, that margin for error, and imperfect vocals, it was perfectly imperfect. Also, does the vocal sound separated from the instruments to you?
At least the art concept for this campaign looks inspired, and it’s good that this seems to be going for upbeat synthpop after a couple of rather downbeat albums.This track like most new music seems to lack any real production. vocals were recorded in Atlanta, Georgia, with Vince joining Andy at the studio Erasure aired their anxieties regarding the divisive Trump and Brexit shockwaves devouring our world on their 2017 album: ‘World Be Gone’ which was their most overtly political and socially influenced collection of songs since the …
I’d be hopeful of the new album being a “return to form” as to my ears they have not released a decent album since Cowboy in 1996 !! a gallery housing a huge collection of vintage neon. child through to the present day, he explains, The album’s A straight-up 4/4 synth pop earworm. So, the physical single isn’t dead, but it is being simplified in terms of number of releases/manufacture and selling. So – and this has been the case with the past few Erasure ‘standard format’ CD albums – sounds like it may still be a card fold-out… possibly still with foil blocking? country, a bedroom, a restaurant, any place at all. !Less than 4 minutes but felt like an eternity. Like I say, I’m no audiophile but maybe some others could pass comment?I think recording budgets are much smaller. Wouldn’t even cross the street for this.Contrary to a few jaded souls here, I actually find Erasure maturing and progressing as time passes. Nonsense! The limited editions (CD, tape, coloured vinyl) are Let’s just hope that NEON gets a release in Japan along with some bonus tracks. Also, 150 art prints, each autographed by Andy and Vince, will be added to random orders before they are sent out (50 through Mute Bank, 50 through Mute Bank USA, 50 through Lexer Music)All above Information from a very reliable source. But I’d kill – KILL – for Vince Clarke to put his mind to it and give us another “Don’t Go” or “A Little Respect” or “Just Can’t Get Enough”. Please check your e-mail inbox. I’ve been a Clarke fan for three decades now. ), and they started hitting mats today.Coronavirus notwithstanding – does anybody actually make REAL music videos any more?Jarv Is… have made two cool videos for recent single House Music All Night Long; including one live Lockdown green-screen version last weekend (better than the orig in my opinion).Also, Kevin Rowland is reissuing his “misunderstood” My Beauty 1999 album in a few months and there is a new video for one of the tracks – premiere’d on Tim Burgess’ Twitter Listening Party for ‘Searching For The Young Soul Rebels’ last weekend.the box set and reissue music site for fans who love holding the music in their hands In their heyday, Pet Shop Boys used a full orchestra and Johnny Marr for a song recorded as a b-side, so yeah hard to compete with that depth. But then ‘we will also be releasing a special collectable package containing expanded CDs of all the singles from ‘The Neon’ towards the end of the year, more about that later!’ (again, from today’s band newsletter). I know Vice is a great producer so I am wondering if it is because even established artists don’t have the money for state of the art studios. Erasure, Andy Bell and Vince Clarke, have announced details of their eighteenth studio album, The Neon, and share the album’s luminous opener, Hey Now (Think I Got a Feeling). It’s digital EPs (mixes and hopefully a new B-side here and there – in a fan Q&A last Christmas, someone asked them if there were songs left over for B-sides for this album and Vince answered ‘yes’) at-the-time – I’m guessing three singles at 2-3 month intervals. ERASURE (Andy Bell and Vince Clarke) have announced details of their eighteenth studio album, The Neon, and share the album’s luminous opener, ‘Hey Now (Think I Got A Feeling)’. A new Erasure album is always something to look forward to!
It’s a rather nice looking orange square flexi (presumably of the single? We’ll see. I enjoyed World Be Gone and am looking forward to this release. It sounds like the vocals and instruments were jammed together.10 tracks and thousand of bsides on the singles? The lisp I think is a terrible consequence of very poor mastering.
