Having garnered considerable success on the top 40 charts with lovesick electro-pop throughout the late '80s and early '90s, Vince Clark and Andy Bell have revamped some of Erasure's biggest singles...

These are followed up by a bunch of covers, including The Ronette's "...

Erasure Go Acoustic On New Album

in
By CHARTattack Staff January 4, 2006 5:30 pm
Erasure have made a pretty living from their synth-pop-dance tunes over the past 20 years, so you may be surprised to find out that the duo's next album will feature acoustic versions of songs from their catalogue. Vince Clarke and the ever-flamboyant Andy Bell recorded the interpretations in a basement studio in Brooklyn, New York "to...
