Andy Bell and Vince Clarke have a rich history outside of their work together. Clarke was first inspired to make electronic music by the band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) and had several different ventures with other artists, including, but not limited to Depeche Mode, Yazoo and The Assembly. Then, in 1985, he placed an ad for singers in Melody Maker<\/em> magazine, and Bell was one of the singers who applied. They formed Erasure, and nearly 40 years later, they\u2019re still releasing projects under the same name; including this re-release of \u2018Always\u2019. Judging by the release of \u2018Day-Glo\u2019, they\u2019re not stopping any time soon, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As previously mentioned, the double disc vinyl will include 20 songs from Erasure\u2019s colossal library of music. Coming out on August 18th, it will include hits like \u2018Who Needs Love Like That\u2019, \u2018Blue Savannah\u2019 and \u2018A Little Respect\u2019, among others. The listener can expect exactly what Erasure has delivered for the past half-century; Bell\u2019s soulful vocals and Clarke\u2019s catchy beats combine to form infectious electro pop that sticks in your brain even after you stop listening. Erasure has been capturing the hearts of the English electronic scene for decades; now, you can get your own piece of that decades of history by pre-ordering \u2018Always\u2019 through the link here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The original version of \u2018Always\u2019 was released back in 2015, to commemorate and celebrate the world-famous English synth-pop duo\u2019s 30th anniversary.
