Oh, I'm definitely in the Bobby Orlando 12" camp here. It's much more muscular. That said, I prefer the intro on the Alternative version, which is suitably sad before becoming pneumatic.

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless
Track 11: A man could get arrested Chronology: Please, Further Listening, Track 1 and Track 7 I've always been fond of the trilogy of mysterious, slightly sinister and hugely underrated b-sides of the early years. They appear linked to me, vignettes in a three-part mini series. A man could get arres...

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless
You can interpret it that way, of course - it’s entirely valid - but if one’s interpretation incorporates what the artist may have intended artistically, then the “you” is most likely the artist himself. Indeed, Neil says as much. When I heard this for the first time, I thought it was totally out of...

Track 9: Later Tonight Chronology: Please, Track 10 The first transparently gay statement in their catalogue, Later tonight's codes are rather more see-through than those of I want a lover. There isn't much room for alternative interpretations here: this is a song about longing for someone you can't...

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless
I've always felt that I want a lover was full of coded references. You can take it at face value or you can ascribe all kinds of meanings - hiding in plain sight - to it. "Someone just like me" is conspiratorial, a lyrical wink and nod to those who want to see these things. "I don't c...

Re: New single „Dancing star“ (digital April 3rd / CD May 3rd)
They must have paid a fortune for him to do that, he is in high demand. Unless he did it cheaper because of who they are. We're not on Kobalt now, Toto. They pay for recording costs/ remixes themselves. and have done so since Behaviour. Even so, they are multi-millionaires. What you might see as a ...

Discography remains widely available... Drico. Oh yes, there it is, that classic retort. If we don’t like a new PSB song then it must mean we only like the 18 songs on Discography :roll: Firstly, the "retort" wasn't aimed at you... It was a playful jibe at nickname (or the criticism that ...

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless
Track 6: Tonight is forever Chronology: Please, Track 7 There is no regret on Please. It's all about living in the moment, and that's what makes it their most youthful and thrilling record. A sense of urgency pervades Tonight is forever. The inevitability of falling in love, as optimistically descri...
