"may ....at some point" so why this hesitation? It's a great pop song, bring it on and make many fans and non fans happy.... :D Along with good remixes and probably an unreleased song the cd single will sell like crazy!
I agree, but does Parlophone?

No because my sentence continues with the words "they were playing" so this is an indicator of something that happened in the past :wink:

Oh, I read it wrong. I thought you meant they're doing a new concert and they're going to be playing all their songs from West End girls - Integral... :doh:

Yeah he wasn't literally saying that they were playing ALL their songs from West End girls to Integral so may be that was what you misunderstood. He just wanted to say that they were playing songs from all their different eras. Otherwise it would have been quite a long concert I guess lol

Ha ha, what an appropriate time for me to ask this question, as Chris was just thinking aloud his thoughts that "Integral could be a single". Sigh. I wonder if we see that one day.

A Integral/Fugitive EP would bring me lots of pleasure

Integral could have coincided with the release of Cubism. The latter is already out; a 4th single more than a year after Fundamental is now irrelevant, unfortunately. Yet another PSB album where the potential wasn't used.
and I'd say that SODOM was another INCREDIBLE potential single which end up not being released.
Neil Tennant has a great voice, Chris Lowe has great silence.

Hmmm.... you know how Almighty Records came out with "Try It (I'm in Love with a Married Man) recently, a couple years after the fact? Maybe something like that will happen with 'Integral'. :?:

Maybe EMI is thinking about a re-edition of Fundamental with some new contents like happened fo Bilingual... It's not unusual today that artists make re-edition of thier album one year later the first release (Shakira, Beyoncé, for example...)
That's a possibility.
Why not release Integral as a download-only single/ bundle package with extra new songs?
Ok, so PSB haven't had a great history thus far with digital releases but if they put together a decent digi-ep - Integral (single remix)/ new track/ new track/ Integral (F**k off great house remix), and promote it properly (at least Ken Bruce will play it), it could be worth a pop. No physical release means no expense means no brainer for Parlophone.

Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.

Finished "Ring road".

Neil: It'll probably be a b-side. It's a sort of rock song, really.
(thanks to petshopboys.net)
"Rock song"... yum-yum :P!
"I think it’s an amazingly good album, I’ve got to be honest with you. It’s one of the albums I feel most proud of. But for people who don’t really know us, and have a sort of an idea about us, ‘Electric’ is more what the Pet Shop Boys are meant to be."
(Neil Tennant, speaking about "Elysium" on the eve of "Electric" release.)

doesn't mean anything really, when they write finished a song doesn't mean it is anywhere near being finally recorded, if this was the case there would be tonnes of stuff just waiting for release, no further work required.
