Limited CD edition in mini-LP gatefold sleeve. 2020 pop-dance remix celebration of tracks from Erasure singer Andy Bell's cult-theatrical side project, Torsten, in which he performs as his acclaimed 'semi-immortal, poly sexual sensualist' alter-ego. Variance III - The Torsten In Queereteria Remixes features two reworks by electronic pop legends Bronski Beat who have dance remixed the fans' two most popular Andy Bell is Torsten songs, 'I Don't Like' and 'We Hadn't Slept For Twenty Years' in their signature retro electropop style! Previous Andy Bell collaborators, synth wizards Shelter, have also remixed a variant upbeat version of the Andy Bell is Torsten single 'We Hadn't Slept For Twenty Years', a song celebrated by delighted audiences as the heart wrenching closing song of the recent Queereteria TV stage show. A further highlight is the deftly atmospheric electronic re-working of 'Lowland Lowriders' by Jerome Froese (ex-Tangerine Dream). Variance III also includes two completely new songs 'Lead Me' and 'Judgement' that are exclusive to this album! The CD also includes four bonus tracks, a variant Andy Bell solo version of 'If We Want To Drink A Little' (previously a duet on the Queereteria album with Hazel O'Connor), as well as the edit versions of songs, as issued to radio stations, of 'Silence Is Golden', 'Not Opting Out' and 'We Hadn't Slept For Twenty Years', the last of which boasts alternative lyrics!
