Dopo 25 anni, l'ex Depeche Mode Vince Clarke e
Alison Moyet tornano insieme, per una serie di concerti che i due
terranno in giugno in Inghilterra. La notizia ha provocato un notevole
fermento tra i fans dalla storica band techno-pop di Basildon, che
coglie l'occasione per lanciare sul mercato anche una raccolta, "In Your Room", che comprende le versioni rimasterizzate di
"Upstairs
At Eric's" e "You And Me Both", oltre a raro materiale video con
interviste e promo clip.
Ecco i dettagli di questa attesissima notizia, cosi' come riportata dal
sito Mute:
Yazoo - Reconnected - June 2008
Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet to reunite for first UK shows in 25 years
4 disc box set In Your Room - Released in May
Yazoo - Vince Clarke & Alison Moyet - have announced that they will
reunite for the first time in over 25 years for Reconnected, a UK tour
in June, starting in Glasgow on the 4th and culminating in a headline
show at London's Hammersmith Apollo on the 18th. Tickets are available
from 1st February direct from the venue or online at
www.ticketmaster.co.uk / www.gigsandtours.com / www.livenation.co.uk
The tour is preceded by In Your Room, a 4 disc box set which includes
remasters and 5.1 mixes of both Yazoo's classic albums 'Upstairs At
Eric's' and 'You And Me Both', b-sides and remixes and a DVD featuring a
new short film containing exclusive new interviews with Vince Clarke and
Alison Moyet and the promo videos for Don't Go, The Other Side Of Love,
Nobody's Diary, Situation (1990) and Only You (1999).
The joyous, unlikely coming together of Vince Clarke, who had just left
Depeche Mode, and Alison Moyet lasted for only 2 albums, saw them
performing only 24 concerts worldwide, but left an indelible mark on
pop. Yazoo released 'Upstairs At Eric's' in July 1982 then parted
company just 12 months later on release of the second album 'You And Me
Both', which reached Number 1 in the UK. Vince and Alison have since
gone on to have their own successful careers, Vince with Erasure and
Alison as a solo performer, both releasing Top 30 critically acclaimed
hit albums in 2007 – Erasure with 'Light At The End Of The World’ and
Alison Moyet with 'The Turn'. The Reconnected Tour will also see Yazoo
perform material from 'You And Me Both' for the very first time as well
as pop classics Only You and Don’t Go.
Says Vince Clarke: "It's been really good going back to these songs
after such a long while. Many of them have never been played live. I'm
looking forward to performing them with Alison for all the fans who've
enjoyed our music through the years but never had a chance to see Yazoo
in concert"
Says Alison Moyet: ”Playing this material live is not about revision for
me, it is about finishing something we started – writing, recording,
performing. Three parts of a whole. A salmon cycle. It’s like going
home.”
