5.0 out of 5 stars Clarke / Bell 80's talent meets the nighties...., January 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Rain Plus (Audio CD)

A mixture of remixes from'Cowboy' and 'Pop', live tracks and new tracks. The synthesizer magic of Erasure is made even better by the addition of some carefully placed bass beats, with the live tracks showing they have real talent. 'First Contact' (yes, as in Star Trek)is a scorcher. Instrumental version is hidden track 11. Buy It!

Rain Plus is so obviously a fan release. Being that it is a maxi-single without even the original version of the song (gotta get Cowboy folks or another version of Rain single) there was no chance for this song to chart in UK. However, that doesn't mean this single isn't worth buying. In fact, this is probably the best maxi-single I've seen in years!

Not only do you get some great mixes of Rain (my personal favorite is Blue Amazon Twisted Circles Mix), you get two mixes of In My Arms and a fantastic remix of an Erasure classic "Sometimes". Also you get 3...count em, THREE live tracks as well as a b-side. "First Contact" was written for the Star Trek Next Gen film of the same name. Its a great song and the fact that you get it and the instrumental version as a hidden track make this purchase worth while.

All in all it may seem expensive...believe me it's worth every penny you spend. A great single from a great band!

this is perhaps the best Erasure album ever made and is a very good idea to buy if you can find it because it is getting more and more scarce as time goes by...it has some of Erasure's best remixes of any single ever released including an incredible version of an early hit "Sometimes" and lots of excellent "trance" remixes of the title track "Rain"...the B-side track "First Contact" is very interesting and there is a "hidden bonus track #11" on the cd of an instrumental version of it.
