ERASURE (Andy Bell and Vince Clarke) have announced the deluxe digital edition of their incredible 2013 album, Snow Globe, a collection of original compositions and seasonal classics. Out on 1 December 2014 (2 December in North America), the Nutcracker Edition features the original album alongside 16 bonus tracks and videos for both singles: Make It Wonderful and Erasure’s take on the traditional Latin carol, Gaudete. The package features three previously unreleased tracks, including Knocking Ghost’s remix of Loving Man, listen here:
In addition, an acoustic version of the single Make It Wonderful is available to stream and share here:
Produced by Erasure and Gareth Jones with additional production by Richard X, Snow Globe, unlike the bells and whistles, glitter and tinsel sets that crowd the market come Christmas-time, Snow Globe is possessed of something more in the wistfully, strangely subdued celebratory mould of recent seasonal albums by Tracey Thorn and Kate Bush.
