Title: A must for all Erasure fans!
Review: I've really enjoyed Erasure's latest album. The mixes on this disc are excellent. I always like to have the CD, so I ordered this from Amazon. However, if you're a fan of digital downloads, that version has 2 extra tracks for 11 total. I listened to the clips on iTunes found them worthy of purchase in addition to the CD.

Title: Thunderstorm!!
Review: Erasure delivers on this EP!!...A nice mixture of mixes, and a nive duet with Cyndi Lauper. Andy and Cyndi sound great together, and should do more together. This Ep is a nice listen from beginning to end.

Title: Includes some of Erasure's best remixes!
Review: This a pretty solid EP and well worth the low price tag. Standouts are the Koishi & Hush Club Mix of Storm In A Teacup (track 5) followed by the DJ Manolo remix of Sucker For Love (track 6). Both tracks are perfect for peak hour at the clubs. Early Bird with Cyndi (track 4) is a great b-side and is much better than the live remix from the True Colors compelation. The Golden Heart and When A Lover Leaves You remixes are well done and it's tough to decide if they are better than the versions that appear on the album. The strings intro to When A Lover Leaves You is very cool. Only downside is the dub-like remix for Glass Angel. It's my least favorite on the album and on this EP too.

Title: More Erasure than Erasure.
Review: The EP harkens back to the good ol' days and demands respect from the new ones. Consistent in it's excellence, the songs were already amazing as album versions and here only sound even more enhanced in more than a few instances. There is well more than one track/mix on this release which warrants many times the asking price. Amazingly beautiful.

Title: Good remixes
Review: Erasure is always good and the remixes are the best. Cyndi Lauper is a wonderful plus

Title: Was rather disappointed in this EP (and as a fan of Erasure, it pains me to say this)
Review: This EP is the third release from Erasure's Light at the End of the World era. This nine-track disc includes three mixes of "Storm in a Teacup," two mixes of "Sucker for Love," one mix of "Golden Heart," one mix of "When a Lover Leaves You," one mix of "Glass Angel," and "Early Bird" (a duet with Cyndi Lauper).First, I have to question the wisdom of choosing to promote "Storm in a Teacup" as the single. Personally, it sounds more like an album track than it does a single. There's really no hook or anything catchy to help it stick in the listener's mind. Not to say that it's a bad song, but it just isn't a single. There is an extended mix of this song included on the single as well, which adds roughly an additional two minutes in length; however, the additional length does nothing to really improve the song. The "Koishii & Hush Club Mix" is the best mix of the three, and it's one I could easily hear in the dance clubs. Personally, I would have liked to have seen a radio edit of this mix be made and issued as the single version... the beat is just incredibly catchy!When I heard the extended mix of "Sucker for Love," I thought that perhaps this song would have been better suited as the song being promoted as the single. This song has more of a "catchy" quality to it. However, I have to say that this mix is a little on the long side, and that the last minute or so is rather redundant. The "DJ Manolo Remix" is another mix on this disc that I could easily hear being played in the dance clubs. However, this mix is rather long (it's about nine-and-a-half minutes in length). It's not a bad mix, but the length is a bit of a turnoff for someone just casually listening to the EP at home. Perhaps this version of the mix could have been issued to the dance clubs, and an edit of it could have been made to include on this commercial CD pressing.The remix of "Glass Angel" that was put on here to close the EP just wasn't very interesting. It was boring, and there was nothing in it to catch the listener's attention; it's easy for the listener to simply ignore that it's even playing. I ended up wondering why it was included on the disc, and I especially wondered why they made it the track to close the disc.I was actually rather disappointed in "Early Bird." I didn't think Andy Bell's and Cyndi Lauper's voices really complemented each other. Also I thought the music track sounded rather awkward against their vocal delivery.Overall, I have to say I was rather disappointed in this EP, especially after they released "Sunday Girl" (which I thought was a rather strong single). If you are an everything collector or a track collector of Erasure, I would recommend picking this up simply to help complete your collection. For a casual Erasure fan, however, I'm not entirely sure I could really recommend this EP to them.

Review: ...bei dieser VerÃ¶ffentlichung. Immherin war zunÃ¤chst der Track "Sucker for Love" aus dem aktuellen Album "Light at the end of the world" als SingleverÃ¶ffentlichung geplant. Nun handelt es sich dabei um das schlechtestes StÃ¼ck des Albums aus der Sicht des GroÃteils der Fans. Vielleicht hat man sich dann doch umstimmen lassen. Immerhin finden sich nun auch die Highlights auf diese EP wieder. Allen voran "Storm in a Teacup" und traumhaft sogar in einer Extended Version. Auch "When a lover leaves you" und "Golden Heart" finden sich hier in geremixten Versionen wieder. Leider konnte man auch hier nicht auf "Sucker for Love" verzichten...aber der Fan wird dankbar sein. Besonderes Highlight gilt dem StÃ¼ck "Early Bird" welches zusammen auf der U.S. Tour mit Cyndi Lauper performt wurde. Wer kein groÃer Freund von Remixen ist, wird sich eben an diesem StÃ¼ck bzw an den Extended Mixen erfreuen kÃ¶nnen. Alles in allem eine der wohl besten VerÃ¶ffentlichungen von Erasure in der letzten Zeit. Man behÃ¤lt wieder mehr das Heft in der Hand mit den klassischen Extended Mixen auf die man vor allen in den 80ern setzen konnten. Das Erasure sehr viel Wert auf die Fanbase legen, wird hier offensichtlich zumal auch noch ein Fanmix auf dieser EP enthalten ist. Daumen Hoch, danke und weiter so (-:

Review: Great stuff Erasure still proving they are one of the top Electro-synth bands and that the style is not dead.
