It's A Sin Sample from the Apollo 11 audio

Im sure some of you shared this before but I stumbled upon this on youtube and was like....is this the intro of Its A Sin ? and then remembered that Neil always says it has no real connection with the meaning of the song, but they used it anyway, I guess Julian Mendelsohn, the producer, must include...

However, those two shots of Neil look way better and more expressive than those from the last 3 or 4 album campaigns...

Completely agree, the closest picture could easily be the best Neil photo of the last 2 decades on a record, video or interview.

Re: PSB are quieter than usual

They always been so prolific, I guess they are a bit tired and the world situation doesnt help either, I honestly fear they might retire for good

Re: Can You Forgive Her? PSB Synths.

Around 1991-1994 Chris was very fond of the Roland JD-800 keybaord synth and the Roland MKS-80 module synth. As Marcus says, you cab make this sweep effect on any synth with a resonant filter, but theese instrument are known for their beautiful and expressive filters. Other examples of the same eff...

Re: Can You Forgive Her? PSB Synths.

The 0:46 is the famous Roland JD-800 preset name "Classic Sweep" no other synth in the world can do exactly that sound, not even the rack version JD-990, I recommend you to use a vst called Zenology by Roland, their latest version includes a plugin of the JD-800, not ideal but better than ...

Re: Anything?

They probably have enough songs from lockdown for 3 albums, but if they are all in the direction of the Cricket Wife then I prefer they release nothing
For me their last great release was the Agenda EP

Re: Stephen Hague Podcast

the story of how the intro of West End Girls was recorded is fascinating, sometimes we get lost on whos done this or that and I used to think everything was done by the artist/s but producers,mixers and engineers they do at least 50% of what we love and we dont have the slightest idea, well to know ...

Re: I love seeing Madonna publicly state she has been influenced by PSB

She's probably rather hard to work with - didn't Chris once call her "pushy" or something like that? Hahaha that sounds Chris Lowe It must be hard to work with Madonna in the studio, but I think it must be hard with Neil and Chris as well. Too famous artists tends to over complicate simpl...

Re: Uncanny likeness to New york city boy

Well.its like that Get Lucky song from Daft Punk, it was inspired by 70/80s funk so they took a piece of this and a piece of that but in 1999 there wasnt much revival around and that wasnt something to comment I guess, every piece of art comes from another Not true..there was loads of filtered disc...
