I guess I must admit I sympathise with the theme of this topic. I would include an open mind instead of the awful ‘you are the one’ and put decide in place of the ‘winneresque’ wedding
It then would be a 7/10 album instead of a generous 6/10
I do like the other tracks though.

Re: The Problems With Hotspot
I’m trying to like the album. I gave it a 4/10 and I’ve probably upped that to a 6/10. Par with super, below electric Not a patch on please, actually, introspective, behaviour, very or even Yes. Probably above nightlife and release. I can’t believe I’m going to say this I prefer legacy to wedding in...

Re: Hotspot - Forum Reactions.
So far. I really hope the album is a grower. About 3 tracks I like lots but slot of skipping ahead already. Probably a 4/10 so far
Guess it’s not surprising

Re: Was it Roger Scruton PSB sued?..
Surely another master of the fair light was Blue Weaver
Still think it couldn’t happen here sounds better his way via the fairlight vs the orchestra.
IMHO obviously

Not sure. Perhaps it’s a grower.

Re: Hotspot - Forum Reactions.
The first "official" critic from the german music magazine Rollingstone shows a 3.5\5 stars opinion. "On every disco stomper follows a ballad..." Perhaps like EV his review was based on his initial thoughts after 1 listen I understood EV’s take was at first the album was underwh...

Re: Decide (Burning the Heather b-side)
Love the euphoria at the end.
Enjoyable track
The progressive 4th chord played from 3:10 onwards us so unobvious but complex and energising.
That in itself makes my day
Like it lots

Re: Do you think the 2 first albums of the triology have any real contender of the PSB classics?.
Obviously as others have said depends on how you constitute classic. To most people, only West End Girls is a classic. To the next subset of the population, then Go West was the last classic PSB song. IMHO, nothing on super, electric, Elysium, fundamental, nightlife, bilingual or release is a classi...

Re: Newly-scanned Very-era interview with Pete Gleadall and Bob Kraushaar
Love these sort of articles. Obviously don’t understand most of it but it’s still intrigues me nonetheless. Raises a few questions though ? Over the last few years, and especially since SP took over the producer reigns, there has been a ever increasing cacophony of noise around the perceived loss of...
