Re: Wilderness years?

For me, I’ve never stopped being a fan. They’ve always been the band I’ve looked forward to each new release, and looked for any bit of news I could find about them. I’d say for me from 86-93 nobody could touch them. After that other artists and albums, at the time appealed to me more. 94-99 Blur, ...

Re: Name the next Pet Shop Boys album

I don't think this one would be called Euphoria, given the retrospective nature Didn't Neil say in an interview early on something like "Chris aims for one thing - a feeling of euphoria"'? ... or something like that If so, makes sense to be an album title for a future Electric II :) Exact...

Re: Saltburn - Rent

It's an excellent use of Rent in a very well made, yet nasty film. It's driven by a psychopathic envy and a dark nihilism that is deeply sick.

Re: Nightlife - time for reappraisal?

With the exception of the singles I was never a HUGE fan of this album (save for the singles and first two tracks) - in fact, for a long time I thought that 'Release', 'Nightlife' and 'Fundamental' were their three weakest albums for the longest time. But this thread has had me re-evaluate 'Nightli...

Re: New Mix of Heart

The Always on my Mind re-imagining they posted a few weeks ago has the same vibe. Where was this posted please? Is it good? On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/C0dDUVxt4oa/ And there was also an unreleased demo just after the Being Boring re-imagining.: https://www.instagram.com/p/CzwNfrEOiaE...

Re: New Mix of Heart

It's mystery as to why they have done this. Maybe for an album of Re-versions...? Doesn't seem very them though, particularly with new album coming out. In fact they wouldn't do it. I agree that it's ace hearing reworked songs live - Performance versions were amazing. And nightlight actually. Shame ...

Re: Any news on James Ford album?

Disco 5! Neil has revealed in an interview lately that "Disco 5" will include all the remixes they had done for other artists (Noel Gallagher, Claptone, Wolfgang Tillmans, Paul Weller, Sleaford Mods). The album has been compiled already. It's just a question of logistics when to release i...

Re: Lost

It's the standard PSB weakness isn't it - awfully curated albums - and singles with brilliant b-sides. Even latter albums that do work - Fundamental for eg. would have been improved with Fugitive. But NIghltife is the worst Hotspot not having An open mind and Decide on is madness. An open mind in pa...

Re: There are some great versions/covers of Love comes quickly out there

Its a song that the boys have done amazing live versions of - I wonder how many tours they've played it on .

Super version is pretty epic ,
Release tour might be my favourite
