Oasis goes electro
The Buenos Aires based label Eternal Sunday Records has just released an album called “An Electro Tribute To Oasis” by Canal Pop feat. Lara Sambert.
Not really sure what to think of this, some nice sounds though, but…
Below is the track “Lyla”, judge for yourself. The 12-track album is already for sale at iTunes and other download stores.
Heeeeeyyy LaLaaaaaaa, LOL

Andy Bell’s hard time to get rid of the Erasure legacy
A couple of weeks ago Andy Bell (Erasure) teamed up with video-makers Caz Gorham and Frances Dickenson to film a ‘homemade’ video for Andy Bell’s “Call On Me” single, which is to be released on CD and via download next week. The single is taken from Bell’s newest solo album “Non-Stop” which was originally to be released under the Mimó flag. The video was shot by the same team that made Erasure’s “I Love Saturday” video among others.
Apparently Bell started working with Belgian producer Gabriel Pascal after the tunes e recorded with Stephen Hague were scrapped. The sessions with The Hague (who was behind records by New Order, Pet Shop Boys and even Erasure) sounded ‘too much like Erasure’, according to Bell’s label bosses. Bell had this to say about this change in an interview with Spinner: “I thought, ‘I’ve been in the business all this time, and now I’m not allowed to sound like myself? It’s kind of strange.”
And Bell also wants to go the ‘Gahan’ way by penning Erasure songs as well: “It’s a bit hard with boys with their toys, with their synths, to get a way in, but I think through making this record, it’s maybe opened the door a bit. We’ve got quite a few ideas. There are quite a lot of really good ideas. I’m just kind of looking forward to honing them down, really. I’ve got a load of lyrics to do. It’s a bit daunting.”
Electric Independence feat Vince Clarke
Vince Clarke is a man synonymous with synth pop and a legend in the history of electronic music. He’s famous for founding three of the most popular and lasting musical acts in history: Depeche Mode, Yazoo and Erasure. But his distinct sonic output depends upon another feat: he has spent the last 30 years amassing one of the world’s most impressive collections of rare, ‘holy grail’ analogue synthesizers.
In 2004, Clarke left England for the unsynthesized woods of Maine, where he constructed a temple for these monolithic machines he calls ‘The Cabin,”. and began branching out into (gasp!) software synths too. Recently Motherboard made a pilgrimage to Clarke’s purpose-built digital/analogue studio to meet the musical titan, hear the story of his musical journey, learn how to make the perfect pop song, and get a little demonstration of one of his signature moves: building a drum pattern from a wall of modular synths. To Clarke, music is still magic even now, an alchemy in which he gets to make “something from nothing.
Vince Clarke & Andy Bell On The New Erasure Album
Vince Clarke and Andy Bell filmed in London during the March 2010 writing sessions for their fourteenth Erasure studio album.
Although I am not sure we need another Erasure album….
As happy I am about Laibach…
…playing at ElectiXmas as cheezy I think it is to enroll OneTwo. OneTwo, who are close buddies with Erasure, still fall into that category of bands that does not have a unique style and expression, more than perhaps that they have a female singer (which is quite uncommon in the electro community).
Well I will still attend the event and definately so after Laibach came onboard however I will probably have a beer when OneTwo are playing – some kind of ugly mix of Erasure, Enigma and Kraftwerk look-a-like telephone calls – judging from their homepage at Myspace, hehe
Check everything out here:
And yes of course I give you LAIBACHHHHHHHH !!!
