Customer Reviews great christmas cd Its got some christmas type songs on it. Every christmas I break this out. Its a must have for die hard erasure fans. Its a must have for die herd synth new wave music lovers. I wish Erasure would make a christmas cd. How cool would that be?. a nice diversion A few great songs ( STOP! is excellent ) and a few great B-sides. This EP is a nice little diversion. By the way, Joe Diaz ( who reviewed this cd here ) , check your facts, "the Hardest Part" is NOT a Blondie cover !!!. The hardest part Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode/Yaz fame) and Andy Bell have an uncanny ability to churn out some of the catchiest pop music I have ever heard. Erasure is perhaps my favorite synth-pop groups from the '80s. One of my all time favorite Erasure songs is the melancholy "She Won't Be Home". The melodies are so sweet and catchy yet if you listen to the lyrics, the song is pretty sad. Only Erasure could combine melancholy lyrics with infectious pop melodies. "Stop!" is a groovy little dance song. I prefer the original over the 12" remix but I wouldn't go as far as say that the remix was bad. I just can't get into remixes as I once was when I was in college. "Knocking On Your Door" epitomizes new wave music with its catchy synth beats. In the case of this song, I got into the 12" remix. Although "Crackers International" had no "A Little Respect" or "Chains of Love", it is still a worthy edition for Erasure fans I think. .
