"Heart Of Stone" by Erasure

1988 was the magical year for the English pop duo called Erasure. The boys had their first chart appearance with "Chains of Love" going to #12 and "A Little Respect" going to #14. They would never be able to best these performances, the closest being "Always", which hit #20 in 1994.

The vocal half of Erasure is Andy Bell and the instruments are performed by Vince Clarke. If you are reminded of the less gloomier side of Depeche Mode when you hear Erasure, that's because Clarke used to be in Depeche Mode. He also did time in another famous duo act of the 80s called Yaz.

"Heart of Stone" is an underrated gem from Erasure's breakthrough 1988 album, "The Innocents".
