Work on Erasure's forthcoming covers album continues apace, with six tracks nearly completed and backing tracks prepared for another three. The current plan is to record sixteen or seventeen tracks and to choose the best for the album, with the others being potential b-sides. The album is due to be completed this year for release in 2002 [no earlier than spring]. The tracklisting is still confidential but consists largely of covers of Vince, Andy and producer Gareth Jones' favourite chart hits from the 60's and 70's.
The music for the album is going to be entirely synthesizer-based, with no acoustic guitars, with a sound reminiscent of the 'Chorus' album but with a strong contemporary feel. (© eis) |

17/9/01
 official : 'Musik' magazine includes a mute-mega-mix-cd with 2 minutes of the 'Murk Monster Mix' of Erasure's 'Moon & The Sky', but note that the original song is hardly recognisable. |
'Moon & The Sky' is still scheduled for a UK single release later this year, though it is likely to be a CD not eligible for the UK charts, collecting together various remixes and live acoustic tracks along similar lines to 1997's 'Rain Plus'. It will be the second and final single release to be taken from the 'Loveboat' album. |
the new album will consist of well-known pop classics and torch songs from the 60's and 70's. |
Erasure performed a concert at a private function on Monday 3rd September for a multimedia company. Vince, Andy and Martyn Ware performed 'Alien', 'Sometimes', 'Ship Of Fools', 'Oh L'Amour', 'Stop!', 'A Little Respect' and Yazoo's 'Only You' against a backdrop of ambient electronica. (© eis) |
