DVD Reviews of Erasure - Hits! The Videos
DVD Review: Erasure - Hits! - Another Must Own Music DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
The 2 DVD set, Erasure - Hits! The Videos, is an awesome collection of music videos and live performances that has to be a must own for all fans who don't already have it. In a day where music videos rarely get played on music channels (unless you have extra music channels above basic cable), this set gives you hours of funny videos and great music.
I'm surprised by some who have said the videos were not as good as the music. I am not the biggest fan of Erasure (actually originally bought this as a gift for somebody else), but along with a lot of hit songs I found these videos to be very funny and fun to watch. There's also plenty of live clips and other cool extras.
Definitely for the amount of content you get, this is a great value. For less than $20 you get HOURS of music videos, live performances and extras. And if you're like me and didn't catch all these videos the first time around, it's awesome to have them all collected in one place for a quick education.
The interviews and extra performances are also nice extras. The only minor con is that when this DVD was made, multi-channel sound mix formats were not standards for DVD. So while this won't include 5.1 and 7.1 formats, just having all this music together at this price makes this a deal.
Check this out if you don't own it already.
Enjoy.
DVD Review: I love these guys

Totally awesome for the Erasure fan. Great collection. The videos start off cheesy as hell from the 80's but end up with some of their latest hits. Binh Nguyen from Seattle is a true fan of this DVD!!DVD Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
For all of those fans or not, this vids collection is an essential one!
Erasure is pop, pure synth-pop. They have been on the air for the last 21 years and still keep on wrinting excellent material.
Don't doubt about it, buy THIS ONE!!!

Description of Erasure - Hits! The Videos
Featuring 35 videos and an additional disc full of bonus material, Hits: The Videos is the definitive Erasure collection. Disliked by many for their formulaic synth-pop tunes, Vince Clarke and Andy Bell are nevertheless adored by loyal fans across the globe and are still viewed as "alternative" in the U.S. These conflicting feelings toward the British duo have existed since day one, with many put off by their initial high-energy sound and flamboyant image. It was only through adopting a more "macho" white T-shirt and blue jean look in the video for "Sometimes" that the guys eventually managed to obtain chart success in their native U.K. However, the videos (all included on disc 1) for debut singles "Who Needs Love (Like That)" and "Heavenly Action" shouldn't be ignored, as the former features Bell dragged up as a damsel in distress and the later is a kitsch Barbarella spoof, complete with toddlers dressed as cherubs. Ever since their promos have alternated between the more light-hearted, ostentatious videos ("Love to Hate You," "Take a Chance on Me," and "Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)") and the serious melodramatic epics ("The Circus," "Am I Right?", "S.O.S.," and "Stay with Me").Other highlights of this collection include "Chains of Love," which features Clarke and Bell flying around the studio holstered on chains. Taking its inspiration from the video of the Pet Shop Boys' "Go West" from the previous year, Erasure's 1994 single "Run to the Sun" is an ambitious homo-erotic, computer-generated affair seemingly located somewhere in Eastern Europe. (In fact, all of the I Say, I Say, I Say videos are shot in foreign locales--the Far East for "Always" and the Mediterranean for "I Love Saturday"). Another classic is the later video "Don't Say Your Love Is Killing Me," which features Bell being hauled through various locations on his lounge rug. Despite being renowned for their glitzy live shows, only three of the videos feature material shot on tour ("Oh L'Amour," "In My Arms," and "Rain").
The DVD plays in Dolby stereo, with some of the later videos being 16:9 widescreen format. Disc 2 includes exclusive performance footage, rare videos, and tracks performed live on all of Erasure's major tours. Six lengthy promotional documentaries from 2001 to 2003 are included, which feature interviews with the pair. Hidden bonus footage has also been crammed on to the disc. The only downside is the clumsy menus, which are difficult to navigate and are not all that pleasing to the eye. All in all this is an excellent-value compilation for those not too tired by the tried-and-tested Erasure formula. --John Galilee
