Erasure - I Could Fall In Love With You

Released 2nd April 2007

New single I Could Fall in Love With You is available on 2 CDs, 7" picture disc and download. The album Light At The End Of The World follows on 21st May.

The album was written and recorded at a private home in Maine, USA. Vince Clarke and Andy Bell alongside producer Gareth Jones converted the house into a recording studio for a month, where they cut ten new electronic songs in the classic Erasure style.

Vince: This is one of the few songs that existed in part before the Maine hotel room writing sessions. Before we started this album, I was really keen for it not to be mid-tempo - I'm having a mid-tempo crisis! Our albums seem to have got slower and slower, so I started searching for classic funk or disco basslines, put some ideas together with chord changes and basslines underneath, and emailed them to Andy for him to sing over the top. The song, like this album, is quite 'up' and uptempo because we're both in good spaces right now.

NEWSSOURCEDOTDOM:NEWS:DJ:CHRISTOPHER LAWRENCE:

Fresh from taking fourth place in the DJ Magazine’s highly coveted ‘Top 100’ poll in 2006, American superstar DJ Christopher Lawrence dons his thermals, downs his vodka and joins forces with Sheffield clubbing institution Gatecrasher, for the release of their phenomenal ‘Live In Moscow’ compilation.

‘Live In Moscow’ is the first in a new series of DJ-led mix albums which finds Lawrence capturing his inimitable energy behind the decks, live from the superb Gaudi Arena club in Moscow. Ripping his way through a two CD showcase of underground trance, the US legend gives a master class in starting a party.

CD 1 mixes the likes of Dan Stone’s hard hitting stomper of a track ‘Made in Bahrain’ and Vibrasphere’s euphoric trancer ‘Landmark’ with scorching, ferocious synths from Basic vs Echotek’s ‘Mind Factor’.

CD 2 unleashes the legendary John 00 Fleming’s anthemic collaboration with Lawrence on ‘Beyond the Limit’ swiftly followed by the pulsing bass line and driving melody of ‘Rasa Lila’. Former head of Tidy Trax, Lee Haslam, also features as he embarks on his first foray in to straight up trance with the bouncy and energetic tracks ‘The Future’ and ‘Checkmate’.

'Live in Moscow' sees two international dance music powerhouses join forces for a monster release. Since its creation in 1993, Gatecrasher has rapidly become the UK's most outstanding and influential dance club and youth culture brand, changing the face of club culture globally.

Once an outsider in a scene dominated by European and UK DJs, Christopher Lawrence is now considered one of the key global players in international dance music. Described as the “Biggest DJ in the USA” by Radio One, Christopher is America’s leading dance music export, playing tough techno trance sets on the main stage of the world’s biggest festivals and superclubs.

In the world of international dance music, Christopher Lawrence has carved himself out as a true leader and with superclub Gatecrasher at the helm, ‘Live in Moscow’ looks destined to become a must-have for all trance fans.
