A standard-setting mélange of smoky blues singing, jazzy arrangements, disco-tinged beats, and dancefloor vibes, the smash debut fits equally as well at a late-night club as it does in a living room, where the record's complexity and exoticism takes listeners hostage. No wonder the 1982 landmark remains one of the decade's most essential albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA1 Don't Go\u003cbr\u003eA2 Too Pieces\u003cbr\u003eA3 Bad Connection\u003cbr\u003eA4 I Before E Except After C\u003cbr\u003eA5 Midnight\u003cbr\u003eA6 In My Room\u003cbr\u003eB1 Only You\u003cbr\u003eB2 Goodbye Seventies\u003cbr\u003eB3 Situation\u003cbr\u003eB4 Winter Kills\u003cbr\u003eB5 Bring Your Love Down (Didn't I)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis numbered edition Silver Label LP breathes with a decongested openness, textural richness, and expansive tonal palette. Alison Moyet's inimitable vocals, such a huge part of the record's appeal, are dramatically enhanced, her sensual timbre, bittersweet crooning, and knockout range now encompassing the full frequency spectrum and projecting outward in a way that traverses the flatness of the original pressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndeed, her bluesy deliveries are at once elegant and exuberant, and give collaborative partner Vince Clarke free range to construct beat architectures that encompass freewheeling disco, house music, uptempo dance, and chilled-out pop. The former Depeche Mode member also layers on elegant keyboard melodies, establishing contagious hooks and electronic-laced landscapes that preceded the techno explosion and do so with a cooler elegance. Tape loops, random field-noise dialogues, and synth-stroked bass notes add to what's nothing less than a perfect collusion of moody paranoia and soulful warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile a cousin\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mfsl (Fenn Music)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53764982341974,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/yazoo-upstairs-at-eric-s-0821797100205","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
