Andy Bell chats to ilikemusic.com

After nine albums of almost exclusively original compositions, plus their recent Other People's Songs album, Erasure released their Greatest Hits in 2003. Since forming in 1985, the British pair have proved themselves with a decade and a half of flamboyant pop , creating some of the most uplifting electronic based tunes ever. They have had multiple number 1 albums and top ten hits, and have stretched the melodic synth pop core of their music in countless directions, from proto-electroclash to clubbable populism.

ilikemusic.com caught up with Andy Bell to chat about the past, present and future for Erasure.

"I like music because......it speaks to everyone" Andy Bell, Erasure

ILM: So how has 2003 been for you so far?

Andy: Well it started off with the release of our Other People's Songs album, and that didn't do too badly. I'm not sure how many we sold so far. But it was more about profile to show people that we're still around. So people don't think we've retired or that we're DJs. Then we did the tour in the UK, in Germany and in America which was really good, and then did some more UK shows, they were brilliant and I really enjoyed myself. It's good to just be out there and I'm really glad I got fit before we did it, I didn't want to be huffing and puffing all over the place.
