Erasure

Their first original collection in five years and nothing has changed in Erasure's synth-pop world. Vince Clarke is still crafting the blips, bloops and blings like he did with early Depeche Mode and Yaz, while vocalist Andy Bell still sounds uncannily like Alison Moyet circa 1982.

Twelve albums in, Andy Bell and Vince Clarke show little urge to do anything but deliver
more classic Erasure: Nightbird is full of elegant dance pop topped by the choirboy-like
Bell singing about love, heartache and dreams. One could easily mistake Nightbird for
something the duo made in the Eighties -- and if you love Erasure, you won't care.
