Re: New Single - Loneliness

Theres shades of "try it I'm in love with a married man" with the synth work. I dont know, I cherish any new PSB album, but maybe I have been a fan for so long I just have heard everything in their bag of tricks....I think Loneliness is ok. but then again I have always been an album track ...

Re: New Single - Loneliness

Maybe its my speakers but I feel like the vocal production is kinda messy and rough and Neils voice sounds hot in the mix.
the tune has def been growing on me. I also think that through has a lovely melody but its buried under the mush of the over heavy arrangement.

Re: New Single - Loneliness

Party in the blitz is my fav, it sounds like something new for them somehow. I really like how Neil sings this one in a sort of slinky way.

Re: Why don't they produce their own albums?

I never get it when later down the road we hear the demos of a new album, and the finished songs sound just like the demos. so I dont know why they dont produce themselves when it seems the producers in question rarely bring something that is different than the demos. I just think they like to have ...

Re: New album - James Ford interview “We’ve gone pretty hard with the string arrangements”

I had to look the group the last shadow puppets up. I listened to one whole album on youtube, the age of understatement. I love the arrangements and production its sort of like 60's jangly guitar with orchestra on a bunch of tracks, some songs sounding like they would fit on a james Bond soundtrack....

Re: "Everything Means Something" re-work / remix

Love it. it reminds me of the sort of mellow tune that would fit right in on the cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack. I would turn the vocals up a bit more but if this was a mix on It-tunes I would def buy it because it reminds me of Ulrich Shaunass memory of the future. great job, if you have a download feel...

Re: I asked an AI to create a new Pet Shop Boys song, this is what it came up with

As I have been saying, it’s just a small amount of time till each of us will be able to select a famous persons voice from a list and sing using their voice. Imagine being able to sing with Neil’s voice. as tallthin man implied it may be the wild west now, but I suspect cease and desist orders will ...

Re: Lost

The only downside for me is when you like one of these demo's, you sort of can wonder about the missed possibilities had they simply properly recorded them. one of the things I take note of in the lost room and I will fall, is the noticeable lack of background vocals, which usually elevate a song. t...

Re: Lost

The lost room, what a beautiful winding melody and set of lyrics. “I will fall” is my other favorite. Its amazing when you think about it there are so many unreleased songs we know of..we know the titles..but all these gems are just sitting there somewhere unheard by us. It’s really interesting how ...

Re: Was it worth it?

I just dont like the gang vocal chorus. I prefer when Neil does his own background vocals. It sounds slightly jarring. I think its a beautiful song let down by the frantic arrangement. I would have preferred the live version’s arrangement with a bit more lush string production and bass/drums

Re: Living in the past (home demo)

They really do have the best middle eights, the warm synth pad sounds so good...a bit better on the newer version than the demo.
kinda reminds me of London the piano version overall.

Re: Mysterious tweet

My dream is that if they did a greatest hits, they would redo all of the songs with new modern versions.

I wonder if that has ever been done. it would certainly make a greatest hits dynamic a bit more fresh
