The New Album - Mini Review:
Actual conversation that took place @ mute:
(Greg enters office)
Colleague: What's that huge smile on your face for?
Me: I've just come down form the studio, we were listening to the new Erasure album...
Colleague: What was it like?
Me: Amazing - it was classic Erasure...
Colleague: What do you mean?
Me: Well Andy's voice sounded incredible, the chorus's on many of the
song were quite simply beautiful and Vince was typical Vince!. Several
of the tracks I could imagine myself dancing to very enthusiastically!
There wasn't a single track that I didn't think was great. I hope you
don't think I'm just saying this?
Colleague: I think the smile on your face is genuine enough! |

« The vocal tracking for the yet to be titled Erasure record is complete. Vince and Andy are in the U.K. mixing. All I can say at this point is this record reminds me of all the things that made Erasure famous in the first place. »
from the studio diary: "We'll be doing some gigs later in the year." |

news about the acoustic album:
« Upcoming Release Mute ©2003 A record of versions of past Erasure songs in an acoustic setting ranging from string quartet to pedal steel guitar. co-produced w/ Vince Clarke. »
« On a very different note, Jason [Lehning] has also been busy completing the mixes for Erasure's next record at Union Street Recording in Brooklyn, N.Y. “They re-recorded some of their older songs for this,” Jason says. “So many of their older songs were surrounded by electronica that showcasing the song was not necessarily the first order of business. Andy Bell, the singer, is actually hugely influenced by country music, so there are a lot of acoustic instruments on this album, with the exception of a pedal steel guitar.” The still-untitled Erasure album, produced by Steve Walsh, is slated to come out later in 2004 on the Mute label. » |
