February, 2009 by Mute Records. The albumutilizes a straightforward format: all of Erasure's singles up tothat point, sequenced in chronological order. This is acontinuation of the format used in Erasure's 1992 hits collectionPop! - the First 20 Hits. The album will be released in a varietyof formats: a standard 2-CD set containing the 40 hits, a deluxe3-CD/DVD set containing the 40 hits, along with live performancesfrom 1987-2007, and appearances at the BBC from 1986-2005. Thedigital download version of the album will contain three additionalbonus 'hits'. Prior to its release, a remix album titled Pop!Remixed will be released the 09 february 2009.
Advantages: Great songs, especially for dancing Disadvantages: Very 80s. Wait, is that a disadvantage?
Vince Clarke was formerly with Depeche Mode, another band that relied heavily on electronic music, synthesizers and enigmatic types of lyrics. Clarke wanted to journey out from Depeche Mode's darker tendency to a much more pop-oriented and dance-oriented sound of his own. He recruited Andy Bell after auditioning many vocalists to front the band Erasure, and after turning out dance music throughout the 80s and 90s, has become one of the better-known unknown musical artists.
Erasure never really made it big in America, although they did have a string of top 40hits, some one which made it into the top 10 for brief stints depending upon what Billboard chart you were looking at. Yet at every dance club even to this day you can put on a remix of "Sometime" or "Chains of Love" and the floor will be filled.
Maybe one thing Vince Clarke didn ...
It took me the best part of fifteen years to understand what the hell was happening in John Verhoeven's futuristic, mind-tampering action flick Total Recall. Based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, the film presents the concept of artificial memory implants that [apparently] will wipe out any previous identity. A person then has the option of living his/her life with a chosen fantasy, as if it were a reality.
Of course, the execution of this idea doesn't run as smoothly as the company in the film- "Rekall Inc." -would want. Douglas Quaid (Schwarzenegger) is an everyman: a construction worker, with the trademark blonde wifey (Sharon Stone). Strangely, he has frequent dreams about Mars (in 2084, the planet hosts an airtight city, which is inhibited by humans). So, one day he decides to visit Rekall, in a bid to make his dreams come true ...
Advantages: good album with hardly any 'loo breaks' Disadvantages: the odd dodgy ballad
Erasure do seem to be experiencing difficult times recently (their latest album flopped sensationally at no.45) but they will always be remembered for their uplifting, catchy pop songs that lit up the charts on many occaisions. This album was released in 1992 and went straight to no.1 where it spent the next 5 weeks. Thanks to Wheatus covering their hit 'a little respect' the album has been re-released and given a new lease of life and looks set to gallop up the charts once again.
Tracks:
1. who needs love like that - Their first release flopped at no.55. An ultra camp beat along with Andy Bells' great voice fitted in perfectly with the electro pop era.
2. Heavenly action - Also flopped at no. 100 (that's what i can a good flop). Very much in the same vein as the first track.
3. Oh l'amour - Again it flopped at no.85. A great ...

Album Notes
'Total Pop' is a comprehensive "best of" collection from British pop duo Erasure.

Featuring keyboard maestro Vince Clark and the powerful voice of Andy Bell, this is a timely reminder of one of Britain's most talented and underrated pop acts. Included are the band's forty singles, plus remixes, live recordings, TV appearances and a bonus DVD of rare footage and performances.
