On first couple of listens it's pretty average Erasure stuff, but my thinking can change over time or it can also depend on my level of intoxication

Very great Album. Respect!

Excellent album, Sacred is the highlight, fantastic song, Can't wait for the boxset next week with the remixes CD!

Just received the limited edition 3CD Boxset! Looks wonderful and am currently listening to the Remixes CD although the missis is moaning because I promised to take her shopping. Oh well, will listen in the car!

I hope so, because I honestly think this is their best, mod rounded work since Chorus.

Agreed, the production on this is just wonderful, without doubt their best work since Chorus. And something I really appreciate with Erasure is that they make an effort to please the fans, The boxset is nice but it's the Remixes CD and the live bonus CD that I really appreciate from them. Better than £400 vinyl box special editions in my opinion, not trying to start an argument here because the PSB Vinyl limited editions are great in their own way of course, just an absolute rip off price wise and not including enough (if any in some cases) bonus material.

Sacred will obviously be one of the next singles, Can't stop listening to that song! Exciting times!

Where can I listen to the remixed version of the album?

After several listens I'm very impressed and surprised, it seems they are making a real effort for the fans.

The latest live versions are also fresh, given a bit of a fresh makeover.

Not being biased but I think the PSBs should bring themselves down a bit more to the fans level.

Did you get a bauble with your £40 quid?

When they write and produce masterpieces like Electric, I think the fans are very satisfied with that.

I've listened to some of Violet Flame and its pretty good. Although I find Elevation rather drab. Definatly more consistency from Erasure of late. Terrible Xmas album aside, they've upped their game a lot.

I'd rate the original tracks on the Xmas album as far from terrible -- some of them are downright gorgeous, like "Loving Man" and "There'll Be No Tomorrow"!

The Snow Globe album is perhaps seen as a slap dash release by many but delve in and you may well find some lovely tracks

Streaming the album on Spotify right now, and I'm not impressed...

I bet there are many PSB fans who wouldn't want this to be a good album

Now there is a double vinyl edition available via pledge music 500 copies, 280 left at the moment, if you are interested be quick, they are selling out fast by the look of it
