ERASURE - The Violet Flame [New Album & 2014 Tour]

righ here right now !

Great music 👏

Gli Erasure erano sfigati già negli 80. Cancellarli. Un CD sovrascrivibile serve sempre.

This teaser was spectacular !

very good album, sound and voice super!

great álbum electro buena convination

BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

слушаю и нравится,ТАК ДЕРЖАТЬ

Love Richard X. This could be a good combination. The background music in this is a little commercial sounding though in a bad way. 

Wow! Now that was a tease!

Sounds great, I have great expectations for this new album

Andy Bell has been crazy busy this year.  His one man show "Torsten the Bareback Saint" is going to be a full length Andy Bell solo album coming out in July.  He did iPop with Shelter a few months back. And now a new Erasure album.  Does Andy ever sleep?  Either way, I'm sure both Andy and Vince will be gracing us with some amazing tunes still this year.

~YEAH BUDDY JUST IN TIME FOR MY BIRTHDAY~IN SEPTEMBER~

Me gusta esa pieza! pienso que ellos deben seguir manteniendo ese ritmo electronico potente y melodico sobretodo

I like the new musical direction! Richard X this time, maybe Calvin Harris next time! EXCITED, and just bought some tickets to the upcoming show.

i like that, the beginning sounds like Super Mario or Sonic - 8bit synth :-)

YAAAAY :-)

Ordered my VIP  tickets today for 3 shows in September. So looking forward to seeing them live again. 

The Erasure sound is apparent here in the arpeggios--yet it sounds also new for them.  This is why it is so great that they change producers so often.

Really looking forward to this album
Erasure are awesome and although I love the synth side of erasure with a passion, this can only be a good move for the band. Not a fan of modern music but all the bands from 80's and before then still releasing music now, there has to be some respect and expectations that they will change their styles over the years. Looking forward to seeing the boys in Newcastle and Manchester this year ☺ keep up the great work sirs ☺

Клас пацаны так держать спасиба

Sadly just like with Frankmusik at the wheel this doesn't sound very Erasure:ish. Looks like I will skip another album.. 

Brilliant news on the new album...30th anniversary coming up next year for the band, a true testament to the Duo...

I was so excited about the revelation of a new Erasure album, especially that it'll be out in just a few months.  However, the excitement waned when I heard the sample played in this video.  I agree with the one commenter - this sounds more like an Andy Bell Non-Stop solo song - not Erasure.  Tomorrow's World sounded nothing like Erasure - it was generic and repetitive - sounding like every other club song out there.  Snow Globe renewed the Erasure sound that we all know and love, and gave me great hopes for the new album.  Let's hope that the sample provided here is not going to be the "sound" of the new record.  Sometimes newer isn't always better...

:o my god!

This sounds HOT!

Thought Vince said their next album was going to be minimalist electro like SG was? I still prefer "the Innocents" sound, good mix of synth, guitar and organic sounds (ie real instruments). Could just be a rose tinted opinion though.

Sounds like a modern dance mix, not erasure. Likin it tho :)

about time andy and vince got their butts down to new zealand!! what better time than new album time.....

Great !!!!!

I enjoyed Erasure's collaboration with Frank, and I'm sure I will enjoy this too.  This music sounds nothing like Erasure.  I'm really excited to hear what's happening on this record.  Can't wait!

I have to agree with some of the other people who have commented in that it sounds very generic. I feel I've heard this before. This sound doesn't have an identity like many of Erasures ealier tracks. The 'club sound' is boring to listen to. I'd just love to hear more creative synth sounds from Vince. His last album with Martin Gore VCMG - Ssss is brilliant. Listen to that. That said, I am looking forward to hearing the other tracks. The sounds can grow on you! :)

I've read all comments below most had some Merritt with their options then some should not have said anything! That being said The 80's will forever be the Greatest Decade of Music. Erasure Bronski Beat Boy George & so on. One sure thing that keeps me & My Love after 20 years still dancing is Andy's vocal & the sound of the music. Just listen to his rehearsal stuff that is what we still want & need today. Artist from the 80's are coming back blowing this main stream trash they call music away. That is from staying "true" to whom they are. That does not mean change will not come but it does mean I don't want auto tune blowing Andy's voice out or the sound to turn into club crap! We have an 80's night every week & it is on Sat we pack the house from 21 & up. The young say wow this is great "music" the adults if you will say yes it is & how it needs to come back & show the 21 century they can do their way & it will change the radio & clubs to be free again. I can't stand remixes I'm not sorry simply if it's not broke or doesn't need fixed....leave it alone! Good Will Be with You "Erasure" stay true Thank You.

Yep sounds very dance orientated. I hope this does not get lost too much with what else is around at the moment. Hard to comment on such a short snippet I accept. I like my Erasure to be Vince & Andy (complete with bleeps n' blops) Looking forward to this album. Just hope it's not too Richard X dominated. Let's not forget just who the geniuses are here. Oh and yes Matt Pop will just love this.

Can somebody please explain just when I died and went to Heaven?

And all you haters....calm the f@#k down!!! It is new album you should be grateful that new think is coming out!!!

Love the sound....OMG love it love it love it!!!!

With Richard X! I think I've just wet myself... Ideally, I'd love to see every Erasure album produced by Vince, Andy, Eric Radcliffe and Daniel Miller, but Erasure have always worked with 3rd party producers. (I loved Stephen Hague's sound on The Innocents, but wasn't a huge fan of the Frankmusik-produced Tomorrow's World). All down to taste ofcourse but I for one can't wait for this album.

Erasure are amazing and as every band sometimes you have to change your style a bit or sound , erasure will never make an album like chorus again and thats something i would love , but erasure fans maybe very surprised , don't knock them just yet its only a trailer  andy and vince i hope its a success for you both x QT x 

Finally Richard X will produce Erasure!!!!!!

cant wait really cant xx

Looks like Andy's soloist album... Erasure, with stranger producer (Richard X, remixer, Live! and Sylenth1 addict), has lost the essence and roots... :( Maybe Vince can produce a new 2014 Yazoo album with Alf to get the real Vince's sounds... (damn money and fashion)...
 PS.: or Vince has changed your Real Arp Modular Synth by Fruity Loops???

Yous got me around me paper round every morning 20 years ago and I'm glad yous are still going strong

So extremely excited! Love you guys from my whole heart xxx

Can't wait for new album, sounds great!

amazing, lets hope its back to the dance floor for Erasure

YES!

Oh yes. sounds polished!
