I Say, I Say, I Say
On their first full-length album since 1991's Abba-Esque EP--a disc that  should have made Ace of Base redundant--that lovable computer dance duo Erasure  returns with tongue-in-cheek soulful vocals and catchy choruses to spare.I  Say, I Say, I Sayspawned a monster alternative hit with "Always,"  and there are three or four more tunes with equal hum-ability and boogie  potential. Vince Clark and Andy Bell won't change your life, but programmed pop  can be a lot more painful.--Jim DeRogatis
