	Andy Bell (musician) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Since the break-up, both Bell and Gardener have been able to be more reflective on the reasons why the group disintegrated, with Bell especially admitting his own part in the process.
		Bell jumped on the opportunity to join Oasis but was obliged to learn playing bass and the entire Oasis catalogue before his first Oasis gig at the last minute.
		Bell is also a member of Oasis' songwriting team, contributing Heathen Chemistry's instrumental "A Quick Peep", Don't Believe the Truth's the snarling "Turn Up The Sun", and the uplifting "Keep the Dream Alive", as well as b-side "Thank You for the Good Times", which appeared on the "Stop Crying Your Heart Out"-single.

		Andy: Yes, because all the people always talking about Erasure but I think that I have a good voice and I wanted to demonstrate it.
		Andy: Yes, with Abba songs it was easier because it was more the fun project and all Abba songs were written by the same people.
		Andy: We were thinking about it but I wanted it will be more the music movie with our songs because it will be better to make a tour than make a musical.

	Sturm and Twang: Bell and Clarke take a left turn into country to celebrate 20 years of Erasure, and score an ...
		Andy Bell has one of the most underappreciated voices in pop music, and Erasure is one of pop's most underappreciated bands.
		Bell's big, theatrical, multi-octave voice is sometimes hemmed in and overpowered by Vince Clarke's finely textured but dominating electronic sonics.
		So it's not surprising that Bell and Clarke would celebrate 20 years together as a duo by altering their sound in an attempt to gain greater -- or even newfound -- recognition in their craft.

	Floatation Suite
		Rather than letting us all drift off completely (in a good way), the band soon moved into possibly the best number of the night which was a much more upbeat version of the your-mum-would-know-it-and-so-would-you-you-little-liar track "Blue Savannah" that once again had people up on their feet and dancing.
		The same could be said for Andy who seemingly missed a cue as he danced around the stage but it only added to the atmosphere of enjoyment as even the backing singers (new face Jill Walsh and Erasure veteran Valerie Chalmers) performed their own little dance routine at the side during the instrumental.
		Personally I wasn't a fan of the latter track, as the acoustic version strangely seemed to lose a lot of the sorrow and character of the 1987 original but as the band came back on again for principal Erasure classic "Sometimes" all things were forgiven.

		Bell graciously accepted the award and said, “Thank you,” along with something else that was drowned out by the screaming crowd.
		During the performance, the duo played all their big hits and Bell, who disclosed his HIV-positive status in December, looked and sounded as good as ever, dancing about the stage in a number of glittering outfits (including just a pair of diamond-studded briefs).

		Specifically singer Andy Bell toning down his act, since the synth-pop band's only other member is keyboardist and occasional guitarist Vince Clarke, who tends to be stock-still, deadpan and taciturn.
		Bell had come out at 16, a fairly brave thing to do in the '70s.
		Bell was referring to is the double hip replacement he underwent last year to replace hips that had been weakened by drugs while he battled pneumonia in 1998.

	eastbayexpress.com - Music - Erasure Errata (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		For the better part of their two decades together, Erasure's Vince Clarke and Andy Bell have been the Abbott and Costello of the electronic-pop world.
		Stoic straight-man Clarke feeds his synth lines to flamboyant singer Bell, whose vibrant, multi-octave vocals and campy persona transform his partner's arresting melodies into rapturous dancefloor anthems and cathartic bedroom ballads, coaxing smiles from loyal listeners even with lyrics that lament the aches and pains of the human psyche.
		Clarke lives with his wife in Portland, Maine, while Bell splits his time between London and Spain with his boyfriend of twenty years, which means that after their initial songwriting pow-wows, much of their production work occurs by swapping MP3 files.

		Most importantly, Bell and synth master/sound architect Vince Clarke have maintained their keen sense of pop songcraft, as evidenced by the 11 catchy, solidly built tunes that fill the album.
		It appears that time has made Clarke and Bell wiser and more reflective, since the songs on NIGHTBIRD actually seem stronger and more resonant than Erasure's earlier work, radiating honesty and authenticity even on first listen.
		Andy Bell's voice never sounded so pure and sincere, especially on some the songs that weren't released as singles, like "Here I Go Impossible Again" and "Sweet Surrender." Vince Clarke's computer-generated synth's are perfect.
