It's been a month since I last posted my previous favourite tune, so I've decided to go back to one of my all-time favourite bands. Today's track is Erasure's Fingers and Thumbs (Cold Summer's Day), an absolute corker from their 1995 self-titled album "Erasure".
It only peaked at number 20 in the UK charts in December 1995 which is dreadful considering the amount of tat that was filling the charts at that time (yes, I'm talking about you Oasis, Boyzone and, East 17), but considering the band were not considered 'mainstream' at the time, it was still a respectable position. Remember, this was before the internet and online streaming was a thing.
This is the single version, but the one featured on the album was a 6-minute and 44-second masterpiece, featuring an extended instrumental section between the second and third choruses.
This product is an amazing leap forward in software technology. It brings you the most powerful and impressive utility for your computer - but is really easy and fun to use.
