Digimpro Remix Competition Winner
Over the past few weeks, EIS members
have been voting via the forum for their ten favourite fan mixes of
'Here I go Impossible Again' that were created using the extremely
popular Digimpro remix software. These ten mixes were subsequently
forwarded onto Erasure, who have chosen a final overall winner!
And that winner is: Glynns Smash Mix by Glynn Jaine, who will win an
iPod and a complete set of Erasure Live Here Now CDs. The other nine
finalists will each receive a choice of three Live Here Now CDs
each.
As a thank you for those that took the trouble to vote in *every*
round of the competition, copies of the 'Here I Go Impossible Again
/ All This Time Still Falling Out Of Love' radio and club promos CDs
have been sent to each of you.
Visit the news section for links to audio streams of the mixes and
the bands comments on the mixes.

Hello
¨
BBC Radio 2 Event - Blackpool 2nd September
As part of a large BBC Radio 2 event
in Blackpool, Andy (with a little help from Manhattan Clique) will
be performing live a selection of Erasure's greatest hits!
If you watched the video clip posted on the EIS site last week, you
will understand why Vince is unavailable for the event, however
Vince's influence is still felt by his choices of songs that Andy,
Chris and Phil will be performing.
The venue is the 'Radio 2 Arena' near the North Pier, and they will
be on stage approx 7:20 - 8:10. In addition, two songs will be
performed live on BBC Radio 2.
Further details in the next EIS Update.

Hello!!
Seems quite a while since the last EIS newsletter, but everyone
needs a break once in a while :)
¨
*Exclusive* Message From Andy
I recently recorded a (very) brief
message from Andy, where he talks about 'Electric Blue' and
Erasure's acoustic album.
The clip is available in Windows Media (broadband) here:
http://exodus.interoutemediaservices.com/deliverMedia.asp...
Real Media and dial up versions of this clip, plus transcript will
be added to the EIS site by Monday.
Apologies for the poor sound quality - we were trying to be quiet so
as not to disturb the photographer in the studio at the time - plus
it's only about the third time I'm used a camcorder (apart from many
years ago - when I used to reenact scenes from 'Doctor Who' but it's
probably best not to mention that. Oops!)
Thanks to Janet btw, who was asking the questions off camera.
¨
Ooh La La - Goldfrapp
Out in stores on Monday (2xCD, 1DVD)
and available *now* as a digital download is 'Ooh La La', the brand
new single from Goldfrapp.
Why is this being mentioned on an EIS newsletter?
Well Andy Bell (with a little help from Manhattan Clique) has
provided a rather fine mix of the single, titled 'Ooh La La - When
Andy Bell Met Manhattan Clique Mix'.
Of particular note is the additional vocals provided by Andy, which
certainly enhance the mix in my eyes (well ears!)
'Ooh La La - When Andy Bell Met Manhattan Clique Mix' is available
on the DVD single, as well as iTunes (UK) and 7Digital.com for the
digital download.

Digimpro - Mac Issues
I understand that Mac users have been
having problems accessing the 'Here I Go Impossible Again' .dl file
on the recent single (LCDMUTE334).
If you are one of these Mac users, could you e-mail me and let me
know?
The Mac version of the Digimpro software is available for download
from the Digimpro site:

'Here I Go Impossible Again / All This Time'
I'm sure Erasure fans in the US don't
need reminding that the third single from 'Nightbird' was released
on the 26th July. I quite liked the following quote from Billboard:
"Another fresh, inspired and yes signature composition that will
bring grins."

when that occurs further MP3's of the older mixes will be removed.
