Bell,Andy Torsten In Queereteria CD

Limited edition two CD set packaged in a richly illustrated, deluxe 48 page hardback art book. This edition contains several exclusive features : a bonus track - an edit of an unreleased remix by Bronski Beat of the most popular Torsten song, 'I Don't Like'. Lots of color art and treated photographs of Andy Bell in the role of Torsten. A six Torsten poem sequence, 'Filthy, Rhymey Murk', which offers insights into further episodes of Torsten's life. Torsten In Queereteria is the third solo album by Andy Bell (Erasure) performing as alter-ego Torsten, a gender-fluid, semi-immortal who, having loved and lost many during an unnaturally elongated life, is left haunted by his lifetime of bittersweet memories. Torsten In Queereteria is a unique pop/musical theatre collaboration between Erasure singer Andy Bell, poet/playwright Barney Ashton-Bullock and musician Christopher Frost. This album, three years in the making, is structured around four separate themed 'Acts' which deal with different aspects of both Torsten's life story and his self-realization; each song designed as if a postcard insight into a particular hot-spot of memory.
