Erasure - Always (Extended Version)

When you're talking about synthpop, one of the first name that probably comes to mind after Depeche Mode is Erasure. With 24 consecutive top 40 entries in the UK from 1986 to 2007, there are a lot of singles to choose from but Always, released in April 1994, has always been one of my fav'. A wonderful ballad with strong verses both musically and lyrically and a great chorus...a nicely understated piece enlivened by Vince Clarke's tickering synths and Andy Bell's warm contralto.
