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.
I am a fan since the beginning 1986.
Last days I am confincing people about the album, just by playing songs. And almost everybody adores the songs. It's not just one person, its now more then 10 people!
It's my first topic opening but this is something which in the last 20 years I never...

With all respect, NYET, but the new PSB album hardly has any impact in the Netherlands.
You don't understand my statement I have made.
As I am living in the netherlands i know that psb are not promoted.
What I mean is that people who have listened to the new album (not PSB fans), do like the...
Just a small thankyou to Mr Tennant - I was one of the lucky ones who was invited to the paul o grady show to see the PSB`s. First time i`ve ever been to anything like that - amazing.
As i was walking back to my hotel in front of me i spotted Neil and Chris walking up the street. I asked him for a...
I haven't tried this for a while and want to rip the I'm with stupid DVD to get mp3's off it.
What software are you guys using for this?
I use EAC normally for CD's (was pleased the latest album worked without a hitch)
thanks

use dvdaudioextractor
very easy to use :)
great thanks - much better than the last software I used.
In 2004, Divine Comedy released a cracker of an album called Absent Friends. The standout track was Our Mutual Friend, which tells the story of someone who finds someone they love in someone else's arms. The more I hear Fundamental, the more I think the standout track is I Made My Excuses And Left....

In addition to how I like the song anyway, I'm giving this song a special positive mark for not having a refrain. Only a few in PSB archive don't have either.
IMO the next single is as good as anything they've done. Will it be a big hit?

I think if more commercial stations play 'Minimal' it could be a decent size hit.
I remember posting a thread on here asking what GCAP's (Capital radio group who own a good % of commercial stations) problem was with PSB and one reply from an 'insider' was that there isn't a company policy to not...
Is anyone as disappointed with Fundamentalism as I am?
I mean, apart from Fugitive with its obvious strengths, it's just all undanceable bleeps and b-side fodder that do absolutely no justice to the original versions whatsoever. Is it that they've gone too avant garde with the choices of remixer,...

Actually, I was prepared that the whole thing should be shite when I've heard the first comments about it, but I think it's rather OK! - actually it's better than ANY other 'bonus' CD that we've been stuck with during the years!
* Fugitive is already a classic, should have been a normal album...
Is it a story of someone who left isolation (the back of the garden so to say), enters the "real" world of love and violence and is happy about that?
I find the lyrics kind of in contradiction (at least if supposed to be sung from a point of view of a normal person) - how can anyone not regret to...

I read it that you've got to enjoy some of the wicked things in life, i.e. sun, sex, sin, etc, in order to fully enjoy it, even though it will be your ultimate destruction because of it. In other words, life is a no-win situation, so just enjoy it as much as you can while you are alive.
The soundtrack to our lives. That throwaway phrase, which once meant something, has become a hackneyed old chestnut in recent years. Therefore, it’s always something of a surprise when a truism reveals its power. My brother, the most beautiful and gentle spirit that I have ever known, bade a final...

I've been listening to this record at a particularly grim time, and I wondered if I was experiencing Fundamental through a somewhat skewed prism, but it's clear to me now that there is an overwhelming sense of morbid decay and hopelessness about the whole project.
New Album From the Pop/Dance Icons Available June 27
LOS ANGELES-Pet Shop Boys have consistently created some of the most
interesting, entertaining, and substantial dance and pop music of the last
two decades....
M (form 'M' with hands above head, YMCA style)
I (place fingers in front of eye)
N (form 'N' with hands above head etc..)
I (as above)
M (as above)
A (raise hands above head to form triangle)
L (drop left hand to horizontal)
I only got my cd's from amazon today (two of which the casing was cracked) Ive listened a good few times now and i must say the 3 songs on the single and dvd are the strongest since a red letter day,

Girls Don't Cry should have definitely been on the album.
definately, it's my favourite song from new Fundamental-era
but I'd like it more if it were longer than 2:35
Neil's vocals are beautiful
For those who didn't hear it the boys confirmed they're playing Australia as part of the tour AND performing Battleship Potemkin at Sydney Opera House! That should keep you Aussie petheads happy! :D

If "Fugitive" or "The Resurrectionist" were to have been of Fundamental, then they would have been produced by Trevor Horn and may have ended up sounding very different to their final versions. I love both tracks, but I think they've been released on the correct formats.
ROBBIE WILLIAMS is secretly recording a dance album – and plans to release tracks under a false name. The singer has already been in the studio with dancefloor favourites the PET SHOP BOYS and also MADONNA’s super producer WILLIAM ORBIT.

As the UK CDs usually aren't Copy Controlled* while the EU ones usually are - is it the same with the new CD and 2xCD? If not (which would surprise me a lot) - are they exactly the same or does something differ (the slipcase on the 2xCD for instance)?

A lot of interesting points there. 'Fundamental' is great, but obviously not perfect (albums rarely are). To be honest, it's just great that they're back on song, so to speak.
I remember reading in a thread reference this a while ago, just to inform whoever it was, yes there is one of these being released to accompany the album.

from what I know "now":
No 'pressed' promo-CDs around! The record company did some 'watermark' CD-Rs which later were given to Journalists & media staff.
PSB let made some additional 'watermark' copies, which were given to friends. Each of those got a special watermark in the audio and a printing...
Neil and Chris dress up, as in the Fundamental/I'm with stupid photos, like Didi and Gogo from Beckett's Waiting for Godot and perform scenes from the play, involving two other characters (Matt and David perhaps) with a minimalist set of a tree and ... not much else really.
But I'm really waiting for Neil and...

Perhaps it is just me, but I got the impression that for the past two months all we got to hear was encouraging feedback on the new album...

Maybe you'll come round to it Dreamcatcher.
I think melodically, lyrically, sonically, its a good album, a a really decent piece of work.
My only slight gripe is that there could have been one more uptempo (Minimal-ly) track on there.
But, as being slightly, ahem, older artists, i think its...
2006 will be a very busy PSB-year for us al with the Fundamental-release, the singles taken from the album, the summertour, worldtour, live-album at probably the end of the year, the Pet Shop Boys Catalogue that will see the daylight...

At last we get a PSB album which the record company are massively confident about (I can't remember such a fuss about Release)!
Perhaps the collection should have been called Derivative. Minimal - which must be a number one UK single - is clearly a development of 1989's One of the Crowd and Luna...
