Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless
You are correct, it is rather confusing, I just checked the 12" version on Further Listening which didn't seem to have it. Then there's a longer version which has a the track mixed in with extra instruments (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unY8bdrbK7I four minutes in) And there's Opportunities...

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless
On Suburbia: I rather prefer the laid back version of the album over the single version. Tonight is Forever: I fell in love with the track at the Salford gig in 2012. It's magic. What I find interesting with this song is its intro: I always hear the 'marimba-ish' in a certain rhythm, but when the d...

Single or album version preferences
Many of PSB's singles mixes are different to their parent album versions. I'm interested to know which versions you guys prefer. My list below (with my preferences stated) excludes singles that were exactly the same as the album versions, plus a couple with hardly any differences (2nd version of 'Op...

Re: Your Instant Classics
Hotspot: Hoping for a M Hoping For A Miracle I'm glad a few people said Miracle because it gives me an excuse to ask without starting a new thread: What the heck is the robotic voice saying at 8 seconds? Love the song, as bleak as it is - but this has always been a mystery to me! If you mean the qu...

Re: Wilderness years?
It wouldn't surprise me if Neil's just had a bad chest infection. There's been a lot of colds and viruses going round the UK since the autumn. I've had three in this time - the latest of which caused me to lose my voice and sound croaky just like Neil does now as I was recovering. Took weeks gettin...

Re: New album Nonetheless
It was a thrill hearing New Boy, it brought me right back to 1986 and hit me with a blast of pure nostalgia. But it came out in a period bursting with new sounds and directions, which is probably what made it work instead of feeling like a dull retread. This made me wonder: if PSB had never told us...

Re: Your Instant Classics
For me I think it was Paninaro. I'm a little fuzzy on this but think the first time I heard it was on Disco, and hearing that whole album was really the clincher for me on PSB fandom. But Paninaro was the real standout track. Even now I can't get enough of it. The updated version is great too, but ...

Re: West End Girls [original 7" version] on CD?
I think there is a full version of West End Girls we haven't listened yet with the production Stephen Hague. There is a file on the DVD of "Smash" that gives us a file about it. That ending of West End Girs says a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEEQi6og4T0 This has been discussed be...

Re: Name the next Pet Shop Boys album
The next B-sides compilation should be called 'Bonus'. Or maybe the original.intended title for 'Alternative' which was 'Besides'.

Re: Piano Room Month - 2024
Has there ever been a PSB studio album where every track features an orchestra before? Fundamental maybe?
