Decide was decided not to be album or single material before it was even written

Why? Minority of rabid fans who got toxic at them for having the mildest of opinions on anything. No way they didn’t notice.

I mean, heck, people are enterprising with vinyl LPs of 8-bit retro computer game soundtracks.

There'd be a market for short-run stuff. Neil said he likes the idea that Relentless is hard(er) to get, so they could drop some gems if only hey had the energy between projects.

Oh I can imagine an album called "Tour"

Plenty of hard work done on mixes there.

Wonder, now they're a little more independent, if they could string together a few under the counter fan-club releases?

Just wanted to say I've grown to really love this track and it's going to be a great exhale towards the end of an album! Esp appreciate Neil's inflection on some of the moody lyrics Like his mumbling on this bit " Otherwise it's just hype you hope / People won't notice you're peddling " And the sull...

You only have to watch the records covers at the beginning of the video, the cassettes, etc.

Right well they do a great job at making it so authentically retro you almost think it's naive

Is Stuart Price also vocals on What's That Sound?

It's kinda cute in a retro kind of way. Even for 1998 it's retro - not sure if deliberately though?

For those struggling with the review quality, I recon Crack and Collector manage alright: https://www.petshopboys-forum.com/viewtopic.php?p=586529#p586529 https://www.petshopboys-forum.com/viewtopic.php?p=586738#p586738 Though I really don't think it's good to call any artist producing new material ...

Interestingly, you could have written the above review without even hearing the album. Quite possibly they didn't bother. Maybe not so much about bothering.... I think some magazines simply don't have access at the time they prepare content. So they fake it a little to keep the content current for ...

Nice maximal reply, minimal. A PSB album is to be savoured. They're adding considerable colour to their catalogue. In years to come there will be many renaissance. Endless analysis of track order, single choice, b-sides that could of been ... all missing the point that this is their considered piece...

So Long LIve Vinyl describes Wedding as "a slice of prime Chris Lowe giddiness" (https://www.petshopboys-forum.com/viewtopic.php?p=586393#p586393) So starting to think I may enjoy this track after all. Since I'm actually pretty tolerant of slightly wayward/oddball album sendoffs (You Choose, Leopard...

Are you worried about the fires?

If you stick to bog cities (Melbourne, Sydney, etc) and travel by air, all should be OK.

Such fun.

You can play it repeatedly and it stays up in the air!

Pretty sure I'm going to love this album.

Electric is great, but it's always felt like a mix album - sitting next to Disco.

Happy to hear Hotspot is going to be a spread of varied ideas and sounds.

Oh God I tried but it's impossible for me to rank albums

Speaking of Super, Drico reviewed it a month before release. I wonder if we'll get an early Drico review of Hotspot? He hasn't posted in a while. Oh that would be nice Although I'm very happy with Effen Vida's review.... as he is a fan of The way it used to be (so we align), and thinks most tracks ...
