Here they go again indeed with a tune that has that unmistakable
Erasure sound plastered all over it. Thankfully, Andy and Vince have
ditched their half-baked attempts at cover versions - and guitars
for that matter - reverting to the synth heavy production that made
them Top 10 regulars throughout the late '80s and '90s. This
typically catchy nugget sounds remarkably like a long lost Dollar
classic. Oodles of Andy's dreamy, harmonious vocals, while Vince
delivers an electro disco groove for peroxide blonde couples to
dance around their handbags to.

Synthpop survivors Andy Bell and Vince Clarke
continue to enjoy a remarkable longevity. Considering their sound is
heavily reliant on ever-evolving technology, they have never become
outmoded or found themselves stranded in the past. The reason behind
this is their excellent song-writing ability, a fine balance of
drama, heartfelt melancholy and camp electronic energy that has seen
them score a seemingly endless stream of hits. This latest single
carries the same effervescence and demonstrates Clarke's ear for an
affecting melody is still as sharp as ever. "Here I Go Impossible
Again" begins in subdued fashion but the soaring chorus really
elevates it into classic Erasure territory - good enough to get the
goosebumps going. "All This Time Still Falling Out Of Love",
meanwhile, is more dancefloor oriented, taking a deep bass throb and
simple synth hook and adding Bell's defiant lyrics. Both tracks
could easily have been written at any stage of the duo's career, but
whether that makes them timeless or dated, this will continue the
trend "Sometimes" began in 1986 and become yet another chart
success.
