27th September 2010 sees the release of Yazoo's Reconnected Live on double CD.
Reconnected Live documents one of pop's most anticipated tours: in summer 2008 Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet reunited for the first time in over 25 years.
The Times said: "Clarke has unobtrusively retooled the band's music for the digital age, making their vintage 1980s synthesizer ditties sound crisp, fluid and timeless" while The Guardian noted, "Yazoo's first tour in 26 years finds the chemistry behind their smash hits unchanged."

Produced by Yazoo, recorded by Martin Hildred and mixed by Vince Clarke, Reconnected Live features classic tracks from Yazoo's albums 'Upstairs At Eric's' and 'You And Me Both', including Only You, Don't Go and Situation plus tracks such as Nobody's Diary, performed live for the first time ever.

"As they breathed new life into their short but immaculate back catalogue, Clarke the glacial controller, Moyet the bringer of warmth, their pioneering contribution to pop music could be heard in every song." - Daily Telegraph

"Performing on a minimalist stage of high-tech steel and neon, Moyet slipped easily into turbo-throated blues-diva mode" - The Times
