Re: Your Instant Classics
It’s a sin - this was the song that made me a fan. I was 11 years old, and had begun taping my favourite tracks from the radio to make my own Hits style compilations. It’s a sin grabbed my attention immediately, with its huge sound and all its many component parts… it sounded head and shoulders abo...

Re: PSB & OMD
Apparently when they first met in 1981, Neil and Chris bonded over two particular songs - Soft Cell’s Bedsitter, and OMD’s Souvenir.

Re: New Single - Loneliness
I’m sure there will be remixes, and I’m sure there will be a 12”. Single releases seem to unfold over many weeks these days. And I wouldn’t be surprised if we get one or two teaser tracks as well as another conventional single before the album itself.

Re: New album Nonetheless
I assume that Anne Dudley is also on the album ..? --- As well as Anne Dudley and the BBC Concert Orchestra, we were joined in the Radio 2 Piano Room last week by three wonderful singers: Nile Bailey, Bim Amoako-Gyampah and Senab Adekunle. They also sing on our new album. --- She is not. Well, Anne...

Re: Strings
It’s a good call, but they’re not actually real strings. Left to my own devices was the first track on which they used an orchestra.Marie loves PSB wrote:What about Heart?

Re: Strings
Requiem in denim and Leopardskin Loneliness That’s a big gap between those two, isn’t it! Makes me think that there must be a fair few songs in that period that could be arranged for orchestra for a future performance. Wiedersehen jumps to mind first. Oh, and The Forgotten Child. Yes, and it’s inte...

Re: Strings
Would be interesting to see what songs had original orchestration especially recorded. Decadence was a sample, wasn't it? - as an example All over the world was a sample too, I think? Although at the end of the track there's trumpets that's doesn't sound like Nutcracker? Interesting that the Wikipe...

Re: Your bet for main single of "Nonetheless"
The other option was Business Tour or Monkey Tour. :mrgreen: I'm joking. I see what you mean but I think they choose Dreamworld just because the idea of "world" tour and the "world" of PSB. At the end of the show and before West End Girls in the first leg of the tour the audienc...
