Free Music Notes for Hits: The Very Best of Erasure
Free Music Review: Stay with me
Hit: 5 Stars
Erasure is definitely my favorite synth-pop group from the '80s. Their songs are fun and catchy to sing along to. It has been awhile since they released a best of collection. As much as I love "Pop!", it was horribly produced. I like this collection. Granted that whoever put this cd together didn't represent the group's legacy as well as s/he should have, "Hits" is still a good collection. I do wish that "Cracker International", "Cowboy" and "Erasure" were represented on this best of collection. That is my biggest gripe about this "Hits" but I am not going to slam this collection like other diehard Erasure fans are doing. Compared to the production on "Pop!", the songs on "Hits" are not hindered by the muddled production on "Pop!". Unlike "Pop!", songs from the groups more recent albums are included although not from "Cowboy", "Cracker International", and "Erasure". Whoever thought to not include songs like "She Won't Be Home", "Fingers & Thumbs (A Cold Summer's Day)", and "Don't Say Your Love is Killing Me" needs their head re-examined. Despite the lack of thought put into this, it is nice to have a collection of Erasure songs that are mixed better than what is on "Pop!".Free Music Review: Great compilation, BUT...

...this compilation could have covered ALL of Erasure's singles. Don't get me wrong, the music is excellent and the bonus megamix CD alone is worth the price of this compilation, but here's what I would have put instead:Disc 1

2. Heavenly Action
3. Oh L'amour
4. Sometimes
5. It Doesn't Have To Be
6. Victim Of Love
7. The Circus
8. Ship Of Fools
9. Chains Of Love
10. A Little Respect
11. Stop!
12. Knocking On Your Door
13. Drama
14. You Surround Me
15. Blue Savannah
16. Star
17. Chorus
18. Love To Hate You
19. Am I Right?

Free Music Review: Forget the negative reviews and enjoy
Hit: 5 Stars
I admit I am not a diehard fan of Erasure like some, but I have to admit they have churned out an impressive number of catchy songs in their 20+ year career.
This compilation features all the big hits like 'Oh L'Amour', 'Chains of Love', 'A Little Respect' and their popular ABBA covers. There are some recent songs like their cover of Peter Gabriel's 'Solsbury Hill'.
Even better is a cool megamix CD that is perfect for any party. I enjoyed the mixing, and it's not too overdone so you will still recognize your favorite Erasure songs although they are remixed.
Ignore all the negative reviews. No compilation is going to feature everything each fan wants. I think this is a generous and fun collection of some of pop's finest moments.
Free Music Review: LISTEN TO THE MEGAREMIX YOU WILL LOVE IT!
Hit: 5 Stars
I could never review a CD without listening toit several times. Now that I have I must say that
I give alot of credit to Mark Towns, who did an
outstanding job for us Erasure fans. Mark should
be proud of the results, and I am looking forward
to Mark working with Erasure more with additional remixes.
He gave new life to these classic gems and I stand
up and give you an standing ovation for your work.
One of my favorites was the blending of Stop! with
Blue Savannah....that super rocks. Thanks Erasure
for letting us hear Mark's awesome work! Happy Holidays to all!
Free Music Review: Erasure's Best of CD
Hit: 5 Stars
For those erasure fans out there that probably know that this is the second greatest hits that they have. It has a lot of there hits but obviously you cannot put every hit on a cd. It is a good selection of songs except that they should not have added 2 versions of O'lamour and could of put another song in it's place. Some of the songs that could have been added and are missing is: star, come and make me smile, Don't say your love is killing me, and drama. The bonus CD of the mixes of the songs was very good. Overall it is a CD that I recommend not only to the erasure fan but anyone that likes good pop music.
