Electro synth pop pioneers return to party!
Oooooh, Sometimes... Electro pop is here for ever. Just think Lady Gaga, Robyn, Pet Shop Boys, La Roux and of course Depeche Mode (that Vince Clarke assisted in establishing). 'Just Can't Get Enough'? That's one of his hits, along side 'Don't Go' by Yazoo with Alyson Moyet, or 'Never Never' by The Assembly with Feargal Sharkey!
But especially: together with singer and fine frontman Andy Bell, Vince Clarke is the pseudo timeless duo Erasure. With - since 1985 - about fifteen CDs and hits like 'A Little Respect', 'Sometimes', 'Victim Of Love', 'Ship Of Fools', 'Chains Of Love', 'The Circus', 'Breathe'...
Now, after a four year wait, their new CD is finally finished: 'Tomorrow's World' (on Mute of course, here via Pias). Produced by dance-master Frankmusik (see too: Lady Gaga again, Pet Shop Boys, Ellie Goulding...) The recordings took place in Los Angeles and London, but also in Vince's 'cabin studio in Maine.' The finishing touches were made 'with Vince using his vintage collection of analog synths for the final touch. The end result is a collection of electronic songs that sound totally contemporary and classic at the same time. All songs are written by Bell and Clarke.'
Enough reading, that party is here!
