I will probably get Erasure and Frankie Goes to Hollywood. I mean, why not?

[kunde]

Relax!

[fcmlefty]

Definitely will pick up the 2 POD songs. Will have to see if the wife wants FGTH. Will pass on Erasure. Will give my wallet a bit of a break before Soundgarden next week.

ERASURE!!

A longtime favorite of mine. "The Innocents" is IMHO one of the best albums ever released. So purchased on Tues. I see Relax is an alternate version, so I will have to listen to it before I buy.

Again, however, ERASURE!!! OMG!!

[Skode]

Aahhh, as expected HMX have been keeping up the recent and very welcome approach to bringing us songs featured on GH and in this case its P.O.D. Im surprised at both them and Erasure but none the less know all the songs available this week and whilst i dont really care for the non-POD songs i will naturally grab them as well for the potential party hit appeal they could bring.

[KEWB]

You have no idea how disappointed I was when I saw Erasure and looked and saw that it wasn't Always. Yes I pretty much only know and want it because of Robot Unicorn Attack.

[CleverConveyence]

Amazing, it's like the last few weeks have been all about music I used to think was cool because I was 14 at the time. My impressionable teenage past self thanks you, HMX!

[V8VANTAGE]

Is "Relax (Come Fighting)" a different version to the universally known version or is it the same? I've googled it and haven't found a sample to the song.

Its a bit like when we had Edge of Seventeen (Just like the White Winged Dove). No-one lists it with the brackets and yet HMX did. I almost didn't bother buying it becuase I thought it was a different version of the song.
