Free Music Notes for Other People's Songs
Free Music Review: This is an AMAZING Cover Album
Hit: 5 Stars
It beats 'ABBA-ESQUE', and that says a lot since that album was fantastic. Andy' vocals and Vince's music perfectly fit each song, they manage to stay true to the orginals while making them Erasure songs. I think this CD is proof that they haven't totally lost it, but they do need to work on it.
My favs are 'Ebb Tide' (really love), 'Solsbury Hill', 'Make Me Smile', 'Video Killed the Radio Star'. Fab!!!!!! I could live w/out 'Everybody's Got To Learn'. They took 'other people's songs' (excellent, well written songs) and made these really Erasure songs far as I am concerned. This is what Erasure used to be about! 'Listen to Pop Greatest Hits' and you'll know what I mean.
'Solsbury Hill' has foot tapping quick beat that you can definetly dance to or workout to. The vocals and music are wonderful on this track.
I can not even describe how awesone 'Ebb Tide' is. I can only imagine how slow the orginal song must be. But Erasure gave this version a beat that's as good as 'Solsbury Hill'. The very begining is slow, and then quickly picks up. Another smashing song by Vince and Andy. Same with 'Make Me Smile'
'Video Killed the Radio Star' is my general alltime fav song, and Erasure kept very true to the orginal that we all love, but added more upped the sound that the orginal used. Great.
'When Will I See You Again' and 'Walking In The Rain' are excellent, I can't see any faults here. These are excellent. Never Heard these songs before, and I like jazzy soul versions by Erasure.
The Buddy Holiday songs 'Everday' and 'True Love Always' are yes sappy (and I loathe sappy), but I think Erasure covers them really well. Its not quite as sappy. The music is excellent, and Andy's vocals are perfect. The music is 'pop' like, while sounding like a Holiday song. 'Ture Love Always' sounds like a ballad version with an extra kick. Vince and Andy did a fab job with this song.
I think the cover of 'You Can't Help Falling in Love' can't ever beat the UB40 version, but Erasure does a good job on their version of it. But a great beat makes the song a quicker. The orginal is so painfully slow. I don't think anyone could top the UB40 version, so don't judge Erasure too harshly on this one. They simply did this song the Erasure way.
Their cover of 'You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling' is much better then I would have thought was possible, as I really dislike the orginal version. I can't even watch this song in 'Top Gun', fast forward. But Erasure's version redeems this song in my eyes. It sounds so much better when Erasure covers it (much less sappy sugar mush). Kind of quick ballad like, weird analogy I know. Forget the Righteous Brother's version.
I just bought this CD yesterday, and I adore it. I don't know where the negative reviews are comig from (IMO). I am a huge Erasure fan, and I think this is the best CD they have released in quite sometime. This is millions times better then their Loveboat, so look beyond that one. To bad they haven't released an orgainal Erasure CD this good is some time.
This is the first Erasure CD where I can't really find any clunkers, they mixed this CD well. Too bad the songs aren't their's though. This a return to their 'Chours' CD, which all I can say is its about stinkin' time! Vince and Andy did an excellent job with this one, lets see what they do next. Hopefully the're back to the old days, and can do some great orginal Erasure songs.
Other People's Songs Poster
Erasure's tenth studio album, & the follow up to 2000s critically acclaimed 'Loveboat', features the duo's unique take on some of their favorite songs. Recorded over 2001 with Gareth Jones, best known for his work with Depeche Mode, the album includes a diverse selection of tracks originally made famous by the likes of Buggles, Cockney Rebel, Buddy Holly, The Righteous Brothers & The Korgis. Mute. 2003.Erasure is at the top of the list of synth-pop groups who have transcended the genre's inherent limitations, and Other People's Songs demonstrates why they've stood the test of time. These are not remixes or samples; in fact, the arrangement apple never falls far from the tree. The selected pop tracks from the latter half of the 20th century are rendered through Vincent Clarke's effervescent sensibility and Andy Bell's emotive vocals. Most dance-club covers have a shelf life that barely outlasts the last call. But as on Abba-esque, their homage to Abba, Erasure meticulously nurture and revitalize rainbow-colored covers, this time making Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill" and Buddy Holly's "Everyday" sweet but not bubblegum-flavored. Erasure has a stockpile of signature sounds, many of them used here to tie together disparate but instantly recognizable pop songs into Erasure songs. --Beth Massa
