{"product_id":"variance-torsten-the-bareback-saint-remixes-5013929845329","title":"Variance: Torsten the Bareback Saint Remixes","description":"2015 release. Andy Bell's critically acclaimed electro-acoustic cabaret show and album Torsten The Bareback Saint was a brave and unexpected career move in 2014 from his comfort zone of being lead singer with Erasure, one of the world's most successful synthpop bands. Classic Pop magazine awarded it 5 stars. After performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and before starting to write the second Torsten episode Torsten The Beautiful Libertine, songwriters Barney Ashton-Bullock and Christopher Frost, producer Michael J. Allison and Andy Bell himself collaborated in re-fashioning some of the album tracks purely for fun. These remixes include re-sung vocals, alternate and new lyrics and new instrumentation. There are three remixes specifically made for the radio; two danceable remixes of 'Weston-Super-Mare' connecting the Torsten project back to Andy's more familiar Erasure electro-pop heritage (thanks to synth-pop stalwarts Dancing With Ruby and mOOger!) and there's a complete electro-pop re-work of fan favorite track 'Bingo Hall Baby' which has more than a touch of the Alan Bennett about it. The experimentation was perhaps at its most abstract on the Industrial Soundscape Mix of 'Weston-Super-Mare' which perhaps recalls early noise terrorists Cabaret Voltaire and Einstürzende Neubauten.","brand":"Sfe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46276594761811,"sku":"1507960X","price":16.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/2933313.jpg?v=1789422682","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/variance-torsten-the-bareback-saint-remixes-5013929845329","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
