Re: Pet Shop Boys - 5 UNRELEASED tracks from the Fundamental era (Superchumbo, Warren, demos, etc)

Three makeweight album fillers right there, as are the aforementioned Casanova In Hell and Numb. Some of their albums are very uneven and curate's egg as a result. Always great tracks on every album they just stick so much that is good away in the hidden b-side discography. I think many, many 'bonu...

Re: New single „Dancing star“ (digital April 3rd / CD May 3rd)

So those mixes on Beatport have now magically evaporated.... :( You can still access the snippets, if you follow the original links, at least the Superchumbo mix. I guess I don't have the "special sauce" - nothing's working for me. It's not you, the links have been taken down it seems - w...

A bit annoyed at this 10+ day wait - we live in an age of instant gratification, so they could at least unlock the album version for an early listen. :D

I think 30+ is more than enough to form an opinion - it's a late career banger, just like Vocal was in 2013, for me at least. :mrgreen: Giving it a strong 9.

Re: New Single - Loneliness

It’s just been made BBC Radio 2’s Record of the Week. In YouTube comments, an Erasure fan wrote that the new single (I forgot the song's name) was way better than Loneliness but BBC 2 would probably still choose Loneliness as the Record of the Week but he hoped that BBC2 would come to their senses ...

Re: New Single - Loneliness

Watched the video again today, after familiarizing myself with the song quite a lot (30+ plays since it came out, I'd say). Everything just clicked for me - beautiful, funny, poignant in places, HORNS! I say it's their best opening single for a long, long time, since Love Etc. probably - explanation...

Re: New Single - Loneliness

The chorus is melancholy meets euphoria as only PSB can do it - beautiful.

The verses do not blow me away, but all in all a good way to announce the album. Loving the visuals (artwork) and the video is interesting as well, even though maybe a bit oversexed for the sake of it.

By that logic they are also copying numerous other artists that have Nonetheless as the album title, especially American trash metal band Hammerhedd. :D

Re: New Single - name not yet announced

Tried with a NZ VPN but no luck finding anything on either iTunes or Spotify. Guess it's off to sleep and listening to Radio 2 at work tomorrow. :D

Re: Piano Room Month - 2024

Usually the artist plays the new/latest single, an older one and a cover is mandatory as the third track - Depeche Mode did Ghosts Again (new at the time), Walking In My Shoes (one of their best suited one for orchestra) and Sundown (a cover).

So.. I guess it's happeniiiing, new album, new era!

Re: Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live At The Royal Arena Copenhagen

I don't like very much the trailer of the dreamworld cinema show, i don't see why they insist on copenhaguen, it's a worldwide show. The music snippets and the view are not great. They could have made a much better trailer. True, comparing this and my actual concert experience is day and night - th...

Re: Any news on James Ford album?

Haven't been paying that much attention to the official page lately, so I don't know when it happened - but has the main logo font (the one in the upper left corner) changed recently? Might be an indicator of the upcoming visuals / artwork.

Re: Unity Tour Spoilers & Reviews

Still no setlist for this? It's probably a shortened Dreamworld setlist, but would be nice to know what they left out. At the time of this post, it's 15:24 in Toronto (5 hours behind UK). Therefore the opening concert of the tour has yet to start - so definitely no setlist yet! Hahahah sorry, in my...
