Erasure – Supernature (Ltd. Edition UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1989

R E Q U E S T

“Supernature” is a cover version of Cerrone’s 1977 environmental anthem. The song, also previously recorded by Lene Lovich, led to a collaboration between Erasure and Lovich for the song “Rage”, which later appeared on a PETA benefit album. Erasure’s recording was remixed by severa different remixers and became a popular hit in dance clubs. The song originally appeared as one of two b-side’s for the 1989 single “You Surround Me”.

In the UK “Supernature” was released as a double A side Limited Edition 12″. This single features the rare “Extra “Limited” Remix” of “You Surround Me” as well as two remixes of “Supernature”. None of the remixes have mix titles on the sleeve or labels.
