Episode 96: Erasure - Wild! (1989) Part 2
Brian, Sarah, and special guest host Andrew Dineley are here to resume their examination of Erasure's fourth album, Wild! Brian and Sarah are especially grateful to Andrew for making the time to join them, as he just finished a new episode of his own podcast, "Art on Your Sleeve."
Part 3 - Track by Track,
Continued
Part One of this discussion was of an epic length and contained
some strong opinions. As the trio flip the record to Side Two, the
anticipation level is high. There's only one single to be found
here, and one more video to analyze. But the hosts find plenty of
other things to talk about, such as musicals that never were,
English history, the classic educational toy Speak and Spell, and
of course the other songs on Side Two! And although Sarah had hoped
that letting Brian do some James Bond "mini-podcasts" would contain
the 007 talk to those shows, she finds herself talking with Brian
and Andrew about James Bond in this episode-- and for two different
reasons!

Part 4 - Extra Credit
As the hosts talked about the singles for this album, they couldn't
help but also mention the excellent B-sides that were released
during this prolific period of Erasure's history. For extra credit,
Brian, Sarah, and Andrew each choose their favorite of the B-sides
and discuss them briefly.
Part 5 - Final Review and Rating
Wild! may have been released at the pinnacle of Erasure's
popularity, but does that mean the album is the pinnacle of quality
as well? Each of the hosts make an honest assessment of the 11
tracks found on the album, with one host admitting a change of mind
from their originally-planned record adapter rating, based on
further listening and thoughtful review.
