I went through an Erasure phase. This was because my girlfriend at the time LOVED that one album of theirs that was a huge hit and so I bought a bunch of Erasure albums from Ameoba for, like, nothing, and then burned CDs for her. This was the last gasp of LP - CD burning. Around early 2000. It brought me back to making mix-tapes. A tedious process that was made even more tedious with CDs.
But I did it and I had to listen to a LOT of Erasure at the time.
This is cut rate Erasure. And it does get a wee bit more interesting toward the end (especially the attempt at loveliness that is “John”).
It’s fine. I’m sure someone out there loves it.
That person is not me.
