'The Violet Flame' has inflamed me
Erasure's 'The Violet Flame' is almost a perfect Synth Pop album! It's full packed of dreamy tunes, iconic pop hymns, it's simply an album made with a lot of passion. Electrified blood must flow in the veins of Andy Bell and Vince Clarke while creating this masterpiece.
Their heart beats must be programmed like drum computers, so precisely hit the beats the biorhythm. And on top of that lyrics are there to cry beautiful.
Breathtaking song collection
Every track on this album is superb and immensely strong. Further these 4 songs are the strongest, and highly recommend songs on 'The Violet Flame': 'Elevation', 'Reason', 'Sacred' and 'Paradise'. All other tracks are fabulous as well, and deserves their 4‑Star ratings.
Personal words
My dear Andy Bell and Vince Clarke, thank you so much for this masterpiece of music. This album makes me cry, feeling intense alive, and makes me happily dancing with some sorrow in my mind. This album helped me to get through some bleak times. I'm so grateful for this soul cleansing album.
