What can I say? "I Could Fall in Love With You" is the kind of giddy, up-beat, care-free music that caused me to fall in love with the music of Erasure 20 years ago. But the really cool part is that the technical quality of this new single is, as usual, slightly ahead of contemporary. Electronica has come along way since "Speak and Spell" and "Wonderland", and with the notable exception of "Loveboat", Vince has always been ahead of the rest. Furthermore, in my humble opinion, Andy's vocals have never been more energetic. I'm counting the days until I receive the complete album, and I'm looking forward to more remixes.

Closer to 3.5 stars for me, really. With this release, Erasure comes storming back onto the dancefloor. For me the album version stands out clearly above the rest--there are a lot of things I like about it. I really like the fact that after the intro, the verse is accentuated by keeping the beat out and the accompaniment minimal--Andy's voice sounds so beautiful on the descending line (i.e. never do what I am told to). The little Vince squigglies do seem a bit out of place here, but that's a minor concern for me.

Next, I love the tugging of the beat as it kicks in and propels the song forward. The beat and bass synth are a better rhythm team than on the remixes. I love the instrumentation on the rest of the track, e.g. the doubling of some of the synth lines. There is one synth line that sounds like a rearranged version of the opening synth line of "Don't Go"--which I think is a fun nod to the past.

Where I think it begins to fall apart is with all the lyrical and melodic repetition. I am already getting tired of this tune after a week. For me, it ranks below all three (or four, counting ATTSFOOL) "Nightbird" singles. It is an immediate attention-grabber, but perhaps too familiar sounding to become one of the all-time classics.

That said, the remixes are both very good, and should sound great in the clubs. It just doesn't measure up so well with their astounding catalog.

I love the new song! The mixes are just as good, if not a little better than the album version. The album mix is pure classic Erasure stuff, and if you love Erasure you will be so glad! I am eagerly awaiting the new full length cd in May!

I love this new single.

It a return to form for the boys. I can't wait till the full album is released in May. And they're part of Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors 2007" Tour this summer. Can it get any better?

Andy & Vince are back in action with ICFILWY, good mixes (especially the radio edit of Jeremy Wheatley) and a good b-side. You won't be dissapointed with this cd-single!!!

I could dance all night with this song. Pure Erasure. Get it if you have not own this one. Remixes are great.

Lots of value here. Great, upbeat and addictive song offered in various incarnations to satisfy your individual tastes. Erasure maintains their finger on the pulse of what sounds really good and keeps the feet tapping. They've quite simply mastered the art of the perfect electro-pop song, as evidenced by this savory morsel of a single.

This is definitly classic Erasure,,,Great Remixes and I like the B-side,,I Like It...overall,,worth having if you love Erasure,,,,,
