Erasure Album: “Don't Say Your Love Is Killing Me [US CD5/Vinyl Single]”

Once again Erasure proves they are among the best at re-mixing their music. "Dont say your love is killing me" is an awesome array of danceable versions of this highly overlooked song. This CD includes 6 versions of the song and each one is so different from the others, that it is almost like an entirely new effort. From the "pure nrgy" sampling on the "jon pleased wimmin dub" to the block rockin beats of the "rh factor insulin dub", this cd will keep you dancing all night and begging for more. If Erasure received the radio air play they deserve, they would be the kings of the dance floor. This is probably the best "single" CD I have ever heard and it is a must have for all Erasure fans.

From Cowboy, this song is anchored by an instantly appealing if somewhat subversively constructed chorus. Singer Andy Bell's typically intelligent words are notably dark and brooding, while partner Vince Clarke underline the track with a vibrant, upbeat meoldy and a chorus that is downright anthemic. Billboard's reviewer Larry Flick called it "a nifty trick" that only shrewd and daring veterans like Erasure could pull off so well, in his July 12, 1997 review. Flick described the track as the act's most appealing to date.
