Erasure Album: “In My Arms [UK #1]”

This CD single is worth one of the mixes alone, the 'Crumbling Down Mix' of In Your Arms. Andy recorded new vocals for this mix and they pack a serious wallop. It builds up slow and hard, and then drops you into the abyss of heaven. A must for any serious Erasure fan, or lover of music period.

this EP includes three variations of one mix + a diff one. the first track is the catchiest and best of the bunch. it has a short intro but then goes into the main section, which is a good piano-riff-based house track that has most of the vocals from the original. the second track is slightly faster and features much of the same material but w/out most of the vocals, although it does include some vocal samples. the third track is similar to the 2nd track but w/ more of the original vocals. lastly, the fourth track is a diff mix entirely w/ some darker sections that really don't fit w/ the lighter, earlier erasure-sounding music in the rest of the track. all in all this EP's not high priority, but the first track at least is worth getting.

Sure it is Erasure, but this CD maxi is one I should NOT have purchased, out of all the remixes etc... I really can't find one I really like. Who Knows the details, I suppose every group has something that is remixed, and turns out to be a flop, and this one is it, way to much experimeting with a different type of sound, far from the real Erasure feeling and up lifting beats. Not a great maxi. Jason Prof DJ
