    5.0 out of 5 stars They're Back..!

    Solisbury Hill was one of Peter Gabriel's songs that I have always liked, and you know how it is, we are always dubious about a favourite song being covered, but Erasure funk it up like only they could.
    This the first single off the album "Other peoples songs" with 'Video killed the radio star' as a bonus track reminds me of why I was such a fan of Erasure in the Eighties and early nineties. Because they have their own sound. You can never mistake an Erasure Song on the radio, and Solisbury Hill is exactly the same. It maybe a cover, but it has an unmistakable Erasure signature that after all this time, is still fresh.
    This version has a DVD of 'Dr Jeckle and Mistress Hyde', the only thing I was disappointed about, was buying the DVD version, I thought it would have the video of Salisbury Hill, but it does not, it just has it as an audio track.
    I hope This single, and the new album does well, It is a very welcome blast from the past from Andy Bell & Vince Clarke.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Climbing up on Solsbury Hill (again)
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2003
    From the first sweeping synth, the bleeps and bouncing bass line, to the first words sung by the inimitable Andy Bell (delivered with the assurance of somebody who believes totally in the words they sing, and want every listener to appreciate), the Peter Gabriel classic "Solsbury Hill" has been brought bang up to date, with the distinctive Erasure stamp. After a dearth of faceless DJs and guest singers recording covers of well- and not-so-well-known songs, at last a band that seems to CARE about the material they are covering. And one that does a brilliant job without resorting to thump-thump drum loops.
    The change of the key signature (the original in 7/8 time) doesn't seem to show, and the songwriting loses none of its meaning and quality over time. Vince Clarke delivers a warm, powerful arrangement belying the fact that he is in his third decade at the top. The quality underlines his mastery of the electronic music genre.
    This song should not only go some way to resurrect the music of Peter Gabriel to those unaware of his back catalogue (as they seemed to do for ABBA by releasing the fantastic ABBAesque EP in 1992), but should also restore Erasure to the top 20 and higher, where they belong.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Interpretation
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2003
    I personally have not been as impressed with an Erasure single since "Rock Me Gently", which was chock full of melodic dance and where almost every track was beautiful to listen to. This is because all of the tracks, insofar as I have heard (which is most) are extremely well-produced and catchy. You don't have any of the monotous club crap that has butchered and annihilated the dance music scene in the past ten years. Instead, the remixes retain the original melody and lyrics rather than covering them up with a hideous droning thump. "Tell It To Me" is not genius, but it is very fun and energetic and definitely adds to the fresh sound of the single. They are both fun to listen to and sing along to, which is an excellent combination in a club or anywhere else. I personally adore their ambient peak from '94-'96. However, this is a classic song in the first place, reconstructed in a smooth, danceable, melodic form that is very appealing to listen to. The lyrics of this song are very unusual, so this makes for even more interesting listening. All in all they did an elegant and soulful electronic interpretation of a classic dance hit, and nobody in my experience can execute this more precisely or beautifully than Erasure. Definitely worth purchasing (including the dvd single with the short film).

    5.0 out of 5 stars A return to pure pop
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2003
    After experimenting with different sounds this is a true return to the synth sounds only Vince Clarke can produce, add the angelic vocals of Andy Bell and the classic tune of Solsbury Hill this should be a sure fire hit! The first remix slows the track down slightly from the album and radio mixes the second well how many old erasure samples can you find in there and the arrangment on Ave Marie is pure heaven. A must for any Cd collection

    5.0 out of 5 stars One more time!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 September 2003
    In my opinion, THE best Erasure single since Don't Say Your Love Is Killing Me. A cover of the Peter Gabriel classic, Erasure's version changes the time signature to 4/4 and swops accoustic guitars for synth bopping and blipping. Two extra non-album tracks are also included, making this single a must for Erasure collectors. "Tell it to me" is brilliant.

    Da sind Erasure wieder: nachdem ihr grausam in der Produktion zerhacktes "Loveboat" wie weiland die Titanic abgesoffen war (was aber nicht an den teilweise sehr eingängigen Songs lag), melden sich Synthie-Spezialist Vince Clarke und Stimmwunder Andy Bell zurück. Peter Gabriel-Fans sollten nicht von vornherein die Ohren zuklappen - diese Version ist vollkommen genial durchproduziert und hat in der Tat mal wieder großes Hit-Potential. Umgebogen vom original 7/8- auf eingängigen 8/8-Takt kommt "Solsbury Hill" tanzbar daher und geht einem nicht mehr aus dem Kopf.
    Mit "Tell It To Me" und "Searching" hören wir noch zwei Songs aus der undankbaren Versenkung einer nicht aufgelegten US-"Loveboat", und gerade "Searching" könnte George Michael grün vor Neid anlaufen lassen: solche Upbeat-Songs lassen den Fuß genüsslich wippen und machen Lust auf noch mehr.
    Diese Single (und auch die Remixes) machen Lust auf mehr, das es am 27. Januar mit "Other People's Songs" gibt. Prima gemacht, und vielleicht leider wieder mit dem undankbaren Etikett "Comeback" beheftet.
