Re: The fifth single
In case it hasn't been said already, the radio edit of New London boy is 3:49 long, which hopefully means not quite as much has been cut out as thought. Beauty has laid siege to the city, on the other hand, is a long one at 6:36.

Re: Anyone for tea with PSB?
If you want money just put out a VF edition of Nonetheless with the instrumentals! Re the 40 years and that logo - why not some sort of special release? Enjoyed hearing the Dreaming of the Queen instrumental. i think that instrumental is the best part of this whole project. Wouldn't it be lovely if ...

Re: Anyone for tea with PSB?
This is probably the first thing by PSB I will never own. I actually wouldn't buy it if it was a tenth of the price. Not one of their better ideas. Let's hope the rest of this 'specially themed' merchandise includes something worth while. How about buying the rights to the original recordings off ...

Re: Nonetheless instrumentals
Mine are WAV. Three Duran tracks in the leak as well. Hungry Like the Wolf, Girls on Film and Rio. There's a few mp3's but the majority of them are wavs I'm getting so frustrated. Been scouring the internet for days and can't find any of these apart from the Periodic Table one. Just found it. Wow.

Re: SPOILT!
It has been a great year for a lifelong PSB fan like me. All the releases, plus seeing them live again. I can't think of a year like it, except maybe 1987. Next year will probably be much quieter, although the Dreamworld DVD and Annually will still be most welcome. Might we even get the Stuart Price ...

Re: The Hidden Cameras - Colour Of A Man (Pet Shop Boys Organic Mix)
The Hidden Cameras have their own version of The dark end of the street. Might be where PSB first heard it.

Re: New album Nonetheless
I was listening back to the 'About' documentary, and I noticed that around the 7-minute mark in Part 1, I'm sure I can hear what appears to be the opening bars to 'Feel'. Annoyingly, the audio is pushed back in the mix during the voice-over "listening back to unfinished songs, August 1996". We all ...

Re: What PSB track (or part of a PSB track) moves you emotionally? (Crying, goosebumps, etc.)
Lots of good examples here but one I've not seen mentioned is the middle section and final verse of Footsteps - the desperation in the delivery of "I'm longing to see you, I want you, I need you", then the dramatic key change into the verse, the sitar melody, and finally the pained resignation in ...

The video for Vocal makes me cry a bit. Longing back to happier times of youth and rave music.

Re: What PSB track (or part of a PSB track) moves you emotionally? (Crying, goosebumps, etc.)
A great thread. Where do I start? There are so many songs that bookmark the years. Being Boring - like visiting an old friend where we catch up like it was yesterday, whenever I come back to this it poignancy gets me. Invisible - mostly reflective, I'm invisible. The secret of happiness - I had a ...

Re: What PSB track (or part of a PSB track) moves you emotionally? (Crying, goosebumps, etc.)
I've always gotten emotional at the last verse of Being Boring. It came out when I was 18 and I never thought much of it until about a year later when I realised the depth of emotion and sadness/joy in the lyrics. And of course the video makes me feel more sad as I see it as a moment in time and in ...
