Erasure’s The Neon is released on Mute on 21 August 2020.

Bit confused Pughie? Is that an album overview from Mute or a review - I noticed the 50% rating at the bottom?

It’s a press biography for the album,the rating is a thank you from a member,you have a ‘thumbs up’ thank you button for each post.

A new track Shot A Satellite taken from The Neon,and it sounds epic!
This isn’t the new single,it’s an album track.

I like it. Has a lot of similarities to Human League’s All I Ever Wanted.

I love Shot a Satellite, it does sound like a b-side in a very positive way. I prefer it to the first single actually. I wish we could have a second edition in the style of the Erasure album, the songs have plenty of space for extended moments. The two songs have a retro sound, but sound very fresh at the same time. And I have a feeling Andy was aware of the baby problem in the lyrics ( we have one honey, but yet no baby) maybe he does read the forums

^^ Totally agree re: the “baby issue”!! I was also going to post that we have a welcome “honey” in the song rather than “baby”!!

Interesting you say that!! To me it has shares some DNA with another track on the SECRETS album, though the title escapes me at the moment). Will look it up at home later!

Ok I know now the Human League track I was thinking of: Love Me Madly!!
Shot a Satellite reminds me a bit of that song!
