Erasure: Abba-esque (1992)

For this collection of cover versions of some of the Swedish Chipmunks' chestnuts, the British synth-pop duo offers four retro-'70s clips that are colorful, campy, and essentially meaningless. Musically, Erasure: Abba-esque somehow makes ''Lay All Your Love on Me,'' ''S.O.S.,'' ''Take a Chance on Me,'' and ''Voulez Vous'' sound even more artificial than the originals. C+
