At their peak in mid 1980s, Erasure made some of the best and most joyous synth pop imaginable. Even jocks liked it.
Before Erasure, producer Vince Clarke enjoyed a distinguished career writing for Depeche Mode, Yazoo and the Assembly.
Clarke had intended to record an album with ten different singers, but was singularly won over by vocalist Andy Bell.
Erasure frontman Andy Bell was one of pop music's first openly gay performers.
Erasure have achieved their remarkable success without signing to a major label. Find all your favorite Erasure ringtones and Erasure realtones below.
