Re: Classic Pop magazine December 2024
In many ways I find Elysium a more interesting album than its predecessor. It has a few gems but also two or three duds. Although I generally dislike "Winner", it probably should remain. "Ego music" is jarring and catty. It is a good b-side but doesn't really fit the album so I'd lose that one. I'd ...

They could release Dark end of the street digitally in December and the physical in January, but this probably won't happen. "Naked" is still a long way off I think.

Re: Anyone for tea with PSB?
I'm looking forward to a range of beer vessels: pint glass, yard of ale, tulip glass, dimpled jug. Maybe they could brew a special PSB IPA. PissedUpBoys Shince 1984 hic

Re: What's your opinion about Parlophone's strategy?, do you expect something more?
I wouldn't rule out a single next year, perhaps to tie in with Di5co. I suspect the Dreamworld DVD has been delayed as we'd have got release dates by now if it was coming in January.

Re: Feel demo similarity to Flamboyant demo
Listening to the Nonetheless demos, I noticed the Feel demo bears striking sonic similarities to the Flamboyant demo. I know the music for Feel was written and recorded around the same time as Flamboyant, but I thought it might be possible they would re-record the music, even in demo form, for Feel ...

Re: Finally, I got all six maxi singles
I've just started catching up on the pre-Nightlife CD singles I don't possess, which is the vast majority. I wish to God I'd bought the Electric and Super CD singles as they're now exorbitantly expensive. I have all the vinyl singles from Did you see me coming? onwards (apart from the RSD ones)

Re: Hypothetical Nonetheless Extras album
Whatever about cohesion, it's been a near-vintage b-side/bonus track era. In my book, nine of those 13 veer from good to great, three are throwaway, and one is an unlistenable screech. That's a very good return. When even Superchumbo has starred, it's been a good campaign. I tend to favour the more ...

I agree TDEOTS would make a good single. Easy to edit down and it's made for an extended mix.

Re: Nonetheless - Expanded Edition
The dark end of the street is really good. Would make a great single...boys are you listening?
Adrenaline is pretty forgettable and Miserere is just what it is. I'll listen to the demos when the album arrives.

Re: 3rd B-sides Compilation
I reckon the next will either be a six disc set with all the b-sides or a two-disc of the last 15 years but not in release order. I find it hard to believe they'd start of a compilation with all those cover versions.
