Props to my friend Seth who introduced me to this song, and who had previously introduced me to Nation of Language . That guy as great taste in music, if you ask me! I fully recognize that this is not a song by Erasure, but "Time Machine" by Autoheart is the most Erasure-esque song that a song could be without actually being written by Vince Clarke and sung by Andy Bell. That's not to take away from the members of Autoheart, rather I intend it as strong flattery. Clarke/Bell are classic, elder statemen of synthpop, so to loop in Autoheart a potential peers is for me to compliment them as much as I can. In fact, Autoheart is touring this Fall and I have to admit that I am considering whether or not I should go see them, which is why this song is in my rotation again. Have a great weekend!
