The Neon Remixed sees tracks from 2020’s The Neon - the band’s highest charting album in over 25 years - remixed by a host of artists including Kim Ann Foxman, Hifi Sean, Octo Octa, Paul Humphreys (OMD), Andy Bell & Gareth Jones, Brixxtone, Theo Kottis and more. The collection includes "Secrets", a brand new track. The original album, featuring singles such as "Hey Now (Think I Got A Feeling)" and "Nerves of Steel", went into the UK Official Albums Chart at #4 and hit the top spot in the UK Official Independent, Vinyl and Cassette Albums Charts.

"Run to the Sun" is a song by British synth-pop duo Erasure, released as the second single from their sixth studio album, I Say I Say I Say (1994). Released on 18 July 1994, "Run to the Sun" peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Erasure's 15th UK top-10 hit. In the US, the song reached number 24 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart and number 14 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play. Elsewhere, the song reached number five in Finland, number 19 in Ireland and Sweden, and number 49 in Germany.

"Always" is a song by British synth-pop duo Erasure. The ballad was released on 11 April 1994 as the first single from their sixth studio album, I Say I Say I Say (1994). Written by Erasure members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, it was produced by Martyn Ware. Mute Records issued the single in the United Kingdom, and Elektra Records released it in the United States.
The song became Erasure's thirteenth top-ten single on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number four. In the United States, the single became Erasure's third top-20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 20 - six years after their last major US pop hit. On the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, the single climbed to number six.

The Innocents was the third proper studio release from Erasure, released in 1988. Produced by Stephen Hague and released by Mute Records in the UK and Sire Records in the U.S., it was the release that made Erasure superstars in their home country and gave them their long-awaited breakthrough in the U.S….

Since their singles have always been as well chosen as they were well crafted, Total Pop! The First 40 is top-shelf Erasure the whole way through, displaying the evolution of the synth pop band through representative singles. This Total Pop Deluxe Box features the original two-CD Total Pop! with all the synth pop duo’s singles in chronological order, and then adds material geared toward the truly devoted Bell/Clarke aficionado. Besides an expanded booklet, the box adds a bonus live CD, plus a DVD of the duo's mostly flamboyant performances on the BBC television network.

Following general practice at the time, this American EP actually lasts the length of a regular album with its varying mixes and otherwise unavailable songs, all from various English versions of the original single. In terms of whether it's all worth it, that's something else. The lead track itself makes for another dramatic Erasure high point, appearing in three separate versions here. Besides a 7" mix that slightly truncates the album take without doing much more to it, there's the lead-off "krucial" mix, a reasonable enough expansion of the original via the work of Bob Kraushaar. Meanwhile, the "act 2" mix, handled by Mark Saunders, gets an even sprightlier punch-up, probably resulting in the best mix of the bunch. As for the two new songs, the first is "Sweet, Sweet Baby," featuring a flat, vocoder vocal (possibly from Clarke!) along with various other odd little drop-ins over the beat…

The Neon Singles is the brand new CD Box Set of the 3 singles that are taken from Erasure's 18th studio album, "The Neon". "Hey Now (Think I Got A Feeling)", "Nerves Of Steel" and "Fallen Angel".

An exclusive limited edition of 4000 copies total. Written and produced by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell.

Released three years after Chorus, I Say I Say I Say found Erasure for the first time fully interested in essentially staying in place. The album as a whole is at base an attractively redressed version of what the duo had already done, the occasional slight surprise notwithstanding. While Clarke in particular shows some virtuosity with his performances, helped by Human League/Heaven 17 veteran Martyn Ware's production, I Say lacks any real novelty (certainly Bell's singing isn't going to change any earlier perceptions, positive or negative). It's not as experimentally indulgent as the self-titled album or unfortunately unmemorable as Cowboy, but it's still not quite the group at its sharp pop finest track for track.

A gently propulsive track from Wild!, Blue Savannah makes for a pleasant if not a completely stunning single for Erasure; the band itself once amusingly claimed it was "Erasure meets the Eagles!" The pleasure in this single lies in the various remixes and extra tracks that come scattered throughout. The title track itself benefits from two complementary remixes, "Der Deutsche Mix I and II", the latter of which adds a reasonable enough breakbeat and some fun synth soloing to create a low-key, Manchester-tinged dancefloor filler. There's one further remix from Mark Saunders that combines his usual fun beats and upbeat feeling to the original, not to mention adding a bit of twangy country guitar. Also on the disc is an okay enough original B-side, "Runaround in the Underground"…
