Erasure's eagerly anticipated acoustic album "Union Street" is to be released in the UK on the 3rd April 2006. Named after the recording studio in Brooklyn where it was recorded, the album features a collection of the bands previously released songs, reinterpreted in an acoustic / country & western style. In an interview last year Andy Bell had this to say: "I said a few years back (that) I would love to do a Country & Western album and this is kind of a half-half. It's done in the country style on some tracks and we got violins, cellos, all different kinds of instruments and it was really a pleasure to do it and rediscover some of the old songs that we thought could have been singles that never were. It's just really different singing with acoustic instruments than singing with synthesisers. I think it's some of the best singing that I've ever done...". The track listing of Union Street is as follows: 1 Boy, 2 Piano Song, 3 Stay With Me, 4 Spiralling, 5 Home, 6 Tenderest Moments, 7 Alien, 8 Blues Away, 9 How Many Times, 10 Love Affair, 11 Rock Me Gently. The band are also planning a tour after the release of this album. In related news, Andy Bell (with Philip and Chris from Manhattan Clique) have performed in Madrid on World Aids Day last Thursday 1st December. They played a 30 minute set at around 11.15pm at the Sala La Riviera, Paseo De La Virgen Del Puerto S/N Madrid.
