Love

Following their critically acclaimed Creation Records’ debut, The House Of Love signed to Fontana and embarked on four years of non-stop recording and touring that would take them into the mainstream. Produced in association with founder, frontman and principle songwriter Guy Chadwick, ‘Burn Down The World’ takes an in-depth look at that period in the band’s career, both in the studio and onstage. Featuring countless never before heard demos, lost tracks and live recordings sourced from Fontana’s archive, alongside rare fan club-only releases, compilation appearances, promotional versions and tracks never before available on CD, and accompanied by the thoughts of Guy Chadwick, ‘Burn Down The World’ sheds new light and insight on a rollercoaster ride which took House Of Love from indie darlings to mainstream globetrotters.

There is no other subject we are driven to sing about as much as we do love, and whether the songs are about being in the sunshine or the shadows of the emotion, every era has had them and has been partially defined by them. This four-disc set covers the modern pop era, and includes such classic love songs as Luther Vandross' "So Amazing," Harry Nilsson's heartbreaking "Without You," Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You," Bonnie Tyler's one-shot "Total Eclipse of the Heart," and Cyndi Lauper's gorgeous "Time After Time," among dozens of other forays into the heart of the matter.
