Erasure (album)

Common card · No. 458310

Erasure is the seventh studio album by English synth-pop duo Erasure, released on 23 October 1995 by Mute Records. It was produced by Thomas Fehlmann (of the Orb) and Gareth Jones. An overtly experimental and introspective album, Erasure contains 11 mostly mid-tempo tracks that differed from their past output of shiny, three-minute pop songs. Most tracks clock in at five minutes or more, several contain long synth interludes, and guest artists include the London Community Gospel Choir and performance artist Diamanda Galás. Although appreciated for its experimental nature, Erasure marked the end of a run of four consecutive number-one albums in the UK, failing to even hit the top 10, with both single releases also missing the UK top ten. After a successful top 20 debut on the Billboard 200 for their previous album I Say I Say I Say, Erasure debuted and peaked at number 82 in the US and generated no Hot 100 singles. In Germany the album also peaked lower than previous albums, at number 87...
