Greg EIS - "Andy Bell - I'll Never Fall In Love Again - Exclusive Downloads"

Hello!

Well all good things must come to an end, and sadly the 'Erasure Acoustic' tour has now concluded.

But what a tour it was! I was blown away by the beautiful arrangements of the classic songs and the sheer energy behind the performances.

So what's next for Erasure?

Well as mentioned in several recent interviews, the band are getting busy with their brand new album (with Gareth Jones as the producer), which is penciled in for a release early next year. It seems that Andy and Vince's enthusiasm for creating music continues unabated!

¨ Erasure News, Plans And Facts

In a recent interview taken by DJ Ron Slomowicz from Dancemusic.about.com just before beginning the US leg of Erasure tour in Nashville at the Ryman Auditorium Andy and Vince told some interesting news and facts and spoke about their future plans. Here are the most intersting parts of this interview:

RS: So after Union Street you're going to be doing a new album?
Andy Bell: Yes, we're doing a new album, yes. Electro pop again.

RS: Andy, you're DJing a lot now, how do you prepare for a DJ set?
Andy Bell: Well, I must admit, it's much more nervewracking doing a DJ set than it is playing live, to me anyway, because my records are becoming quite old-fashioned. I go back to my original electronic albums that I brought as a teenager that I kind of bought on CD. And so it's kind of like stuff by The Human League remixed, lots of Giorgio Moroder stuff, which includes Japan and Donna Summer stuff that he's done by himself like I Want to Rock You and some of the Flirts, and Madonna remixes. So it's kind of a mishmash really, bits of Miss Kittin and some modern stuff; it's a bit of a mixture.

RS: Have you thought about taking up remixing again?
Andy Bell: Well I do like remixing, but I have to do it with other people because I'm not really an engineer, I'm not really technical, but I do like getting ideas for remixes, yes.

RS: Of all the remixes done of Erasure stuff, what's been your favorite?
Andy Bell: I would say the mixes that Cappella did for Always, that William Orbit did for Supernature and Star, and that Gareth Jones did for Blue Savannah, the Der Deutsche mixes.
Vince Clarke: Anything by William Orbit, he did a great remix for Ship of Fools, that I really liked.

RS: Do you have a dream collaborator that you would love to work with one day?
Vince Clarke: I think if Paul Simon came along and said to me 'would you like to produce my album, my next album, or do the synth work,' then I would be up for it.
Andy Bell: I don't know really. I would love to work with Mirwais who did several of Madonna's albums, or Miss Kittin, because I think she's fantastic.

RS: Have you ever thought of doing a one-off or EP reunion with Alison Moyet?
Vince Clarke: Well, we've toyed with the idea, but our careers have gone in different directions. I mean Alison now is acting on the stage and she's also been involved in musicals. So, it would be certainly a nice thing to do in the future, but we have no definitive plans.

RS: Taking the Union Street experience in, do you think that will affect your next album, what you do next?
Vince Clarke: Well, I don't know. I'm sure it will, although I don't think that we'll be collaborating with other musicians like we did on this record. We've signed up with a producer already for the next record and we always tend to work with a producer, but I'd like to make this record as electronic-sounding as possible.

RS: Can I ask who the producer is?
Vince Clarke: Gareth Jones.

RS: Nice. What are you listening to currently in the electronic world?
Vince Clarke: In the electronic world, probably not a lot. At the moment, I'm obsessed with Cat Stevens.

¨ "Erasure Acoustic" Tour - Nashville Show

Erasure has started the American leg of their "Erasure Acoustic" tour in Nashville, TN on 6th May. The show in legendary Ryman Auditorium was filmed for a future DVD release. One of the members of the audience, Inga has kindly send us some pictures from the gig and after party at "The Play" club where Andy was djing later that evening. Also Inga has send us a little report about the whole event.

At the show "Andy got on his knees and kissed the stage, after saying "So many great performers were on this stage, I just want to lick it..."

Erasure		Erasure		Erasure
Inga and Vince Clarke		Inga and Smith Curry		Ben Wittman
Smith Curry, Steve Walsh and Inga		Inga and Jill Walsh		Smith Curry

"It was an unbelievable show... after which I got to meet all of the Erasure crew (except Andy - he was DJ-ing music there!) at the after party at the club "Play" where Jill Walsh, the back-up singer told me that it was an awesome show and they "could just feel the love from the audience"...

"The after party at the gayest and coolest club in Nashville - "The Play". Andy was mixing the music himself for a couple of hours (the music was awesome), and in between dancing, talking to Erasure cute guys and gals and just not believing the whole experience, I kept staring at Andy through the DJ booth glass... together with another fan (a guy) who kept repeating 'I JUST LOVE HIM..."

"All the guys from Erasure were extremely sweet and friendly and very easy to talk to - I can't believe I actually did. Jill and Valerie were very pleasant, Vince was shy, Smithy was dancing sandwiched by 2 girls, but still was posing for my pictures, and Steve, the guitarist... uh, he was so cute, he actually started talking to me before I did... and the drummer, Ben, he was so funny and posed for the pictures too..."
