Please take extreme care on emails from administration @ petshopboys-forum .com !!!!!!!!!!!
In the last days I recognise some emails about Tickets for PSB@ROH which I THINK could be a money trap. After we have to hold this email open for user requests and alerts via the contact link (at the...
I know yesterday (13th March) was the first time a new PSB track had been played in ages, but (as per the long standing forum rules) in future all public requests for copies of any new track, PSB or otherwise, will be deleted and/or threads containing requests closed. We will officially...

Thank you for the link leesmapman. I was already aware of them and found the last one does not include the first song they played (the Blur song Girls and Boys (PSB Remix)). For some reason it has been omitted from the youtube recording hence why I asked if anyone has their own recording.
Neil is answered a lot of questions from www.tennant-lowe.com.
Answers to all our speculations. Not much left to discuss. :D

I find the succint, lone "no" to the Fugitive question kinda disquieting. and maybe comfirming. no "thank you" (for Bright young thing for example), no effusion. nothing. just plain "no". sounds like some of us were right, they don't like the song as much as we do.
To pick up a side comment from the "Buggles" discussion, any Numan fans out there? I have often dreamt/wondered what a PSB/Numan collaboration or cover would look or sound like. I have heard Numan say in interviews that he's not interested in pop music, often naming the Pets...

Didn't Neil write a review of Depeche Mode's Blasphemous Rumors that made fun of the song because it was kind of dishonestly anti-religious? Am I imagining this? This would have been from the journalism days.
A snippet of the review is actually printed in the booklet of Depeche Mode's Singles...
when i first heard this i was shocked because i thought the chorus said " You Might Blow Up" instead of " You My Brother" ( Listen to it and you'll see what i mean), I honestly think it's one of the best things the boys have ever done, very well written and produced, but i think the public would...

Fugitive is my favourite track of this decade. I disagree with not releasing this as a single. I can't see radio opting out of playing this single since it's just so phenomenally good. My mother was visiting the other day and heard one minute of it before she said "Is that a new Pet Shop Boys song?...
Here's an amusing little tidbit, according to theartnewspaper.com:

Apologies if this is covered in another thread but I was wondering what's going on with Fundamental in the States.
Is it still due out June 26th?
Is there any media profile over there? Has anyone heard any of the new stuff on the radio (yeah, right).
Will the album be properly stocked in American...

Patrick is right regarding "radio friendly" tunes. However, if we know this then why doesn't the promotion department know it as well.
LOGO should be playing I'm with stupid on their "New Now Next" video program though I haven't seen it yet.
I don't think the record pools have received promos yet. (Any US DJ...
Did you notice the use of vocoder in Fundamental ? Less significant than in Release but take Casanova in hell, at some point, we could hear background voices of Neil accompanying his own lead melody.

Of course we know the autotune, but a vocoder/voicemachine is completely different! We're not talking 'London' here but background vocals being altered in a different way...
Ow and the autotune... it's addictive to use! The strange thing about it is that it works on *every* song! Ballad, uptempo,...

I'm afraid a lot of the irony will be lost on the listening public. they'll just think it's a silly love song. plus that radio station I called told me flat out they won't play I'm with stupid. and it's a pretty eclectic station. they play anything and...
How many piano songs/versions have PSB recorded and could you please list them?
I only know ''London (genuine piano mix)'' and it's so beautiful. I'd like to hear more.
My friends like: I'm with Stupid, Integral, Luna Park, The Sodom and Gomorrah Show & Minimal (in that order). To my horror, they think Fugitive and In Private are awful :roll:
I've just lent Fundamental to my new girlfriend. I was on the phone to her for 2 hours and it was on in the background....

my 15 year old daughter likes Integral, my 13 year son hates PSB..old cheesly music he says...then he puts his bouncy crap on..sigh!.
Luna Park gets the biggest plus points from everyone though
and Fugitive is the best dancey one
If you want to look at a very young Trevor Horn, then look no further at the videos posted at and look at the brilliant Elstree, Living in the Plastic Age and I Am A Camera (yes, Video's there too). Horn and Downsey look like a prototype PSB even.
If you watch these clips or buy either of the two...

I will start another discussion topic on Gary Numan.
Have you noticed that the album version is identical to the released single ?
remember when they released heart, flamboyant, i don't know what you want..., they all sounded different.
Last post
Please: Opportunities - Same (For those who say West End girls - Different)
Totally not true though. The first Opportunities single was an entirely different recording to the album version - which later became the fourth single (technically).
Finally got my copy of the 2CD Fundamental today Actually, I received two copies today - one free from Dorrell management for the messing around I've had to put up with at the hands of recordstore, and the one I paid for from recordstore - typical.
Don't think I'll be rushing to...

Wow, Fugitive in cracking remix shocker!
A good tune, although I'm also slightly bemused by the (alleged) subject matter.

Is Chris gay ? :shock: , might be the next song. :lol:
I just saw the PSB documentary and it was soooooo good. It really took me back though the years and made me realize how much of an impact PSB has had on my life. I have been a fan from West End girls to now. I think I got to the point when I took PSB for granted. I played the songs I collected the albums and...

does anyone know any info about the forthcoming DVD of the "much longer" version the show = release date, running time ???
A friend at work (who's a rocker) asked me who the PSB were and if I could send him an example of their work.
Still exhilarated about Fugitive I sent it to him. Didn't want something 'cheesy' like GW or New York city boy although both are great great songs. (no off topic please :lol: )
this song is a legend and the most beautiful masterpeace ever written. i think it deserves a topic of it's own.
Lets praise this beautiful music, and anybody who does not agree must be a moron. pet shop boys fans who dislike being boring are not real fans. i could never take some one like this...

Which song though?? I'll get back to you in a minute.........
Anyone care to disagree?? Well....????????? :shock:

I do like La Mode but PSB are more interesting songwriters because of the diversity of their catalogue. This is perhaps to be expected because PSB are *classic* songwriters in the tradition of mid-20th Century musicals and Tin Pan Alley whereas DM are essentially a bloke with curly hair writing...

There are to much topics here with breaking off or skipping songs.
