Conference mr1pst::music

    YES!  Erasure roolz!
    
    Do you like the ABBAesque album??  That seems to divide the hard core
    Erasure fans down the line.  I personally think it's a great album!

    
    
    I thought they had a few more than 4 albums out already.
    
    Wonderland
    ???Circus??? or something
    ?The innocents 
    Wild
    Abbaesque
    
    plus a greatest hits and another dance mix ep
    
    I like Abbaesque. I wish there were more than 4 tunes and I wish they
    had put their version of Abba's "Gimme, gimme, gimme" on it as well.

    re .1 & .2
    
    Lets start from scratch, I have been a big fan since Sometimes was
    released and have bought every album and E.P. since, including The Two
    Ring Circus and Crackers International and two video, I also went to
    see them in concert in Shepton Mallet about two years ago when wild
    was the current album.  They put on a brilliant show and I would see
    them again given the chance. Is there really an album called erasure
    roolz or is that your way of showing support for this great group, you
    will have to exscuse my grammer is not very good I ment forthcoming.
    
    Thats all have time for, bye.

    	What kind of music is this?  Pop?  EZ Listening?
    
    	And is "ABBAesque" an ABBA tribute?

    My colleagues call it Beep-Beep-Music, they obviously don't know talent
    when they hear it.  Its electronic pop and ez, good to bop to.
    ABBA esque is a tribute, I don't think much of their Voulez Vous
    version, but there's no doubt the whole ep is a brilliant cover, I only
    wish they could have covered a load more ABBA hits.  As we've been
    talking about Abba, does one assume that there is a large following
    within the DEC organization and should we be creating a conference on
    this cult aswell.   

    Do you mean that someone had the bad taste to put together
    a "tribute" (not the word I would choose!!) to ABBA (this is 
    the same ABBA that did "Fernando" and other irritating twaddle
    back in the '70's ???) ... Please, say it ain't so!!

    >  Do you mean that someone had the bad taste
    
    Do you mean the whole 1992 ABBA rebirth thing passed you by?
    
    You are the person PR folk worry about.

    
    >>>Do you mean the whole 1992 ABBA rebirth thing passed you by?
    
       Thankfully, yes, it seems to have passed me by. 
       I know we seem to be going through this '70's revival thing 
       lately, but ABBA ... Pahleeez!!! What's next ... a Shawn Cassidy
       revival??? Is this ABBA thing meant as a joke (like, maybe the 
       Butthole Surfers doing ABBA covers with puke noises)???
    
    
    >>>You are the person PR folk worry about.
    
       I certainly hope so !!!!

    Yo rock'n'roll refugee, you obviously dislike this type of music, so
    why bother being apart of the subject.  I could easly slag off your
    type of music, but I'm more mature to behave like a mooron.
    
    Oh bye the way this was a conference on ERASURE!!!

    
    Hey,
    
    I never slagged ERASURE (I never even heard of them). I'm just amazed
    that anyone would even consider serious covers of ABBA.
    As to your maturity and behavior, I guess that's up to interpretation.
    
    /Billy_K

    Lobsters.
    

    
    Well John, you can't educate pork.
    
    From a definate NOT Abba or Erasure fan!!!!!!!!!!
    

Well, I for one always have liked the ABBA sound. Like many groups, they don't
have a wide variety of styles, nor do their songs tend to be very "serious," but
so what? They make/made music which I and lots of other folks enjoy. That doesn't
take away from my enjoyment of other groups or styles.

I could never understand why or how anyone can work up such an active *dislike*
for a given group or style. If you don't "get it" (shades of another note from
long ago...), just do a NEXT UNSEEN, please.

    Jeez... Lighten up, guys... It's only music!!
    
    Although I dislike ABBA, I don't necessarily dislike those people 
    who like ABBA. It's not a mutually exclusive situation. It's also 
    possible to do great covers of saccarine-pop oldies (Soul Asylum does 
    a great cover of "Too Sir With Love"). So who knows... I may even like
    ERASURE's covers of ABBA (although I doubt it, I'd be willing to listen).

    >>> Lobsters ???
    
    If you wish to engage in a battle of wits, please come better armed ;^)
    (and let's not do it here in NOTES!!)

    Guys,
    
    I haven't set any notes hidden, but the next directly targeted insult
    probably will.
    
    Air your differences in a reasonable manner by all means, but don't
    turn this into a name-calling, insult-throwing contest.  The rest of us
    have better things to read.

    Well that died a sudden death, thanks to none erasure followers.
    
    Now about this new album, can I get a copy of someone?

    
    REP:-1
    
    	I don't think it died due to "none erasure followers",
    
    	I think it was your sharp yet subtle wit which scared off any would
    
    	be "let's all cut out the bottom of our pants and act like real
    
    	men" type noters..
    
    
    
    
    Well Done!
