Erasure's music is the perfect marriage of synth-pop and disco. The Human League's “Being Boiled” provides the blueprint for their skeletal electronics, while the dizzying balance of desire and doubt in ABBA's “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)” serves as a model for their nuanced emotional range. Their hypnotic, Hi-NRG pulse can be traced directly back to Donna Summer's “I Feel Love.”
