Description

Erasure (Andy Bell and Vince Clarke) have announced a collaboration with Echo Collective, the Brussels-based collective of post classical musicians best known for their ongoing collaborative work with A Winged Victory For The Sullen, Johann Johannsson, Dustin OHalloran and Stars Of The Lid.

The collaboration sees the entirety of Erasures latest album World Be Gone given a post classical rework. World Beyond was recorded over ten days by Andy Bell and seven performers from the Echo Collective: Margaret Hermant (violin, harp), Neil Leiter (viola), Thomas Engelen (cello), Jaroslaw Mroz (double bass), Gary De Cart (piano) and Antoine Dandoy (vibraphone, glockenspiel).

The collaboration is a natural progression from 1987s The Two Ring Circus, a companion EP for the bands second album, The Circus, which included several orchestral interpretations.
