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.
Couldn't see if this has been mentioned, but the brillaint Hot Chip are supporting PSB at ther TOL dates. this is their website:

Fantastic act! Interesting that in most places (their Second album came out last week alongside Fundamental) that their album was rated better than Fundamental (It isn’t far off!) in the electro-pop album stakes!
1) Psychological - 3:01
The synth sound that starts there reminds me of a similar sound from Jack The Lad
2) Minimal
The pizzicato string that plays around 4:00 reminds me of Soviet from Electronic LP
3) Twentieth Century - 2:36
"Together we're better (better, better, better)" - the "better"...

Luna Park reminds me of the theme tune to Button Moon.

I've said something along the same lines but i said the clangers were on Luna Park ( the clangers was a BBC childrens tv show in the seventies, clangers were puppets who lived on the moon) the noise they made was those penny whistle things...
I would like to see it but I don't know what's the reason why some people are talking about it. Is there any possibility to believe that it could happen?

PSB are Radio 2 fodder these days. Personally, I have no problem with that as my days listening to Radio 1 are long gone.
They're not going to get played on R1 again and that has bee pretty obvious for a couple of years now.
how about they knock off a double cd to celebrate their 10th studio album release? 20 songs
to swoon over..... :) the title would be "double" or "doubly?" :) if the chili peppers can release a double album why not the pets, too?
Last post
Because every single "double album" of original material that has ever been produced should have been culled back to "one album" full of decent songs, and a bucketload of mediocre out-takes.
But on the other hands most albums would have made a superior ep, so I don't really subscribe to the...
Will there be a difference between the stagedesign for the summerconcerts and the worldtour?
Last post
I think the summer tour will be more low key (like the Release tour) while the World Tour will hit the arenas and be more flamboyant(like the Nighlife tour).
Whilst listening to the demo on my iPod just now, I could very clearly hear Eminem saying 'Pet Shop Boys'. This sample is from Eminem's 'Canibitch' track, whereby he mentions running PSB over!
The sample is at 03:03 and 03:07.
Anyone else noticed this?
Last post
Nice Eminem spotting! :lol: Btw, I prefer Sodom´s demo to the album version, I think Horn has ruined the track by "rocking it up" :? and he did a great job in improving I'm with stupid a lot! 8)
Any ideas what is "sung" at 1:07 / 1:22 and then at 1:35?
The first two parts sound something like "We are ??? / It's okay". I have no clue about the 1:35 part.
Thanks for any hints.
Last post
I think it's Neil saying/singing, either "Your my bother" or more likely just "My brother". I'm pretty sure it's just a sample from the actual sung part.

Hello All.
Please could I have answers to the following:

One of those reviews that praises for 4 paras. then tells you it's not so good.
Last post
That drums and guitar remark isn't really fair, as they also thoroughly embrace the work of, say, Boards of Canada and Autechre. But I still get your point, though. Their reviews can often easily be predicted. They will, for instance, probably hail Thom Yorke's (not really exciting) upcoming solo...
It’s not airplay, is it? Why do we care about airplay? Sure, I guess it’s nice to see our benefactors rewarded by larger acceptance and appreciation, but do we really care?
And deep down don’t we all secretly want our Boys to garner critical yet...

I'd much rather have a single with 3 b-sides than a single with some rubbish remixes.
CD single: Luna Park & b-side.
CD Maxi CD: Luna Park and 2 b-sides.
Is it me or does 'Integral' sound like a combination of Let's All Chant and Night and Day?

We have ID-cards and I think it is a good system.
I must admit I don't quite understand what all the fuss is about in the UK about ID cards. For me they are in no way a breach of privacy or a loss of civil liberties. I always wondered for instance how pub owners in the UK could verify if their...
I have to be the most frustrated PSB fan in the world. I'm in Malaysia where the album is of course unavailable and won't be back in the UK for a week or so. I HAVEN'T HEARD THE ALBUM yet but it 'sounds' great and I can't help reading all the comments people are making. So pity me, folks.
Last post
Don't see how to on their site. Besides, it'll be less messing around if they do get it to me by the early part of next week. Save me finding it in the shops.
They will hear about it big time if I haven't got it by this time next week. Remind me never to trust them again... :x
It's almost shocking to see how little the biggest store-chain (Platekompaiet) is promoting this album. In my town, Fundamental ism isn't even available. On the other hand, the album is not listed in their Top15 of the last weeks newcomers. At the same time, the album...
"The album so far has charted at number five in the UK and at number one in over ten countries, marking a strong return to the charts."
If that's true, amazing. Anyone know which countries?
Luxembourg, Malta, Faroe Islands...

I think this probably refers to the iTunes Music Store charts where Fundamental indeed was # 1 in at least 10 countries but so far I don't see any regular music chart in any country where Fundamental reched the top position. Best positions so far are : # 3 in Argentina, # 4 in Germany and # 5 in...

If they can hang on til the end of June and get good publicity for the 2 Tower of London dates (I think they are the first act performing there in the summer schedule), 'Minimal' should be going to radio round about...
I've noticed a lot of critics say Neil's vocals have no soul, or that they're too cold. Do you feel there's any truth to this?
I always find his vocals incredibly sincere and unique myself, especially in the slower songs like Kings Cross, Love Comes Quickly and I Get Along. I think the fact that...
Last post
Neil has one of the most "honest" voices in pop. When he does inject emotion into his vocals it seems to mean a lot more.
And a big article inside, which is very unusual for Holland. It's about the new album ofcourse and that they are back where they started. Electronic dance music instead of the the guitars from Release.
No time to scan it right now. If no one beats me to it I will do it tonight.
Oh hell we live in...
Last post
they are using them pics a lot were they meant to be press photos for Fundamental or summet else?
Last time I met Neil he said 'You're Irish? They don't like us over there'. No, actually, they don't know that ye exist anymore because EMI do nothing to promote ye over here either. :roll:
What's the idea behind releasing Fundamentalism on two seperate 12"s instead of a double-pack?
I think same thing as those 4 different cover of Release.

As everybody knows PSB have been album of the week on Radio 2.
Bruce Ken have played some songs of the album. I suppose these songs have been chosen by EMI. I don't believe they have chosen these songs without the opinion of the record label ( it's part of its business , the promotion).
I suppose...
Last post
do the boys hate these kinds of threads or am I just reading into the various posts I've been reading today?
anyway, my choices are always different from the norm. much as I love it, I'd never have gone with I'm with Stupid as the first single.
German TV - 28 May '06
Neil and Chris travel to Germany this week to appear on "TV Total". They'll be performing "I'm with Stupid" and will be interviewed.

Woaaah! Tha's new for me! Maybe the canceled the show, before it was confirmed! But on the other hand - the venue completly fit the German tour/festival dates:
They also had the 4 cut tracks from the concert online, so I pasted them into the BBC realaudio broadcast and now I have the full concert :-) Sounds pretty good for a realaudio broadcast. At least it's something to keep me waiting for the live CD.

Any guesses when they are going to update their on-line / fan club shop offer with new t-shirts promoting Fundamental, I'm with stupid, summer tour etc.?

Fundamental lyrics - 27 May '06
All the lyrics for the songs on "Fundamental", including "Fugitive" from "Fundamentalism", can now be read in the LYRICS section.
I was listening to the Blue Room on Saturday morning as a friend's band (Tunng) were in session on Rob da Bank's show, and - shock horror - the opening refrain from 'Luna Park' strikes up! It's a kind-of chill-out, electronica show.

And almost 90% percent of betters argued it would drop because it even achieved much more than expected.

Quite enjoying this mix but hope I'm not hearing things.....
Check out at around 7.23 and listen out for a sample for the intro to 'So Hard' :lol: was Mike accidently listening to Behaviour in the studio at the time :lol:
How odd :D

I can't help thinking that this sample is We all feel better in the dark. But I haven't dug the tracks out to compare them, so I'm probably wrong.
Anyway, this is a great remix despite some dodgy sampling. Would sound great as a basis for a live version.
