Listening to London-based Erasure's eponymous 1995 album on the Mute Records label

"In an interview with DJ Ron Slomowicz circa 2006, Erasure were asked for their favourite album from their own catalogue. Bell stated "it's a toss-up between Chorus and the self-titled Erasure album from 1995." [Note: Clarke chose COWBOY (1998)]

Enjoying this arc of 1990's Clarke's synth-pop immensely 🌟

Anyway, led to The Jesus and Mary Chain by their uncredited vocals on Erasure's track "Drama!" from their 1989 album "Wild!":

"The gangshout /vocals (background) are also a kick as well -- especially as they were provided in part, via an uncredited appearance, by the Jesus and Mary Chain" - Ned Raggett

Listening to London-based Erasure's "I SAY I SAY I SAY", their 1994 album on the Mute & Elektra Records labels

Discovered this album during winter, and Clarke's synth-pop and Bell's falsetto voice instantly take me back, crystallizing the walls around me in frost ❄️ 🩵 [Note: Cover art notwithstanding, with its lush spring/summer forest nightscape 😆 ]
