Erasure

Fantastic band, love their music right from the start, Wonderland is a brilliant album....

Saw them a few times, always put on a cracking gig, the Wild tour was excellent....

Ah for God sake, your going to make a massive deal out if it aren't you ? I stated that cause I didn't want people to think that cause I like erasure I must be homosexual. I know it means I'm bad but it's the truth.

Why would you care if people thought you were homosexual?
 
Love Erasure but hated covering A little Respect in the band, it was too cheesy for my liking. Erasure was princess Diana's favourite group.

Whitley Bay Ice Rink. Great night; all of those dress changes.

I still love Erasure: Wonderland, The Circus, The Innocents and Wild are great albums. Would love to see them again.
 
Wore out a tape with Wonderland on one side and The Circus on the other while doing me Sunday morning paper round in the mid 80’s with it in me Walkman. Class
 
They made some cracking singles, not sure they perfected the album. A bit like Carter USM in that respect, only blonder and more open to sexual experimentation.

Tip of the hat to Vince Clarke, a great songwriter and synth-pop master. Founder member of Depeche Mode, he went on to discover great voices to carry his songs; Alison Moyet in Yazoo, then Andy Bell in Erasure, then invited Feargal Sharkey to front The Assembly. It's not my genre at all, but you have to credit his talent with a pop song.

Quietly defined 80’s pop and very influential, doesn’t get credit he deserves really.

I'm part of a very small demographic that likes both Carter and Erasure but I don't get the comparison. Erasure are gods of pop who pumped out a series of pop anthems (the Circus & the Innocents are albums laden with belters). Carter have had a few tunes, a couple of particular ones spring to mind, but otherwise they've been following @spacehopper in coming in with songs based on puns.
