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.
Word from the PSB camp here in Newcastle is wrap up warm for the show. Sounds daft and obvious i know but they couldn't express them selves enough how cold it is on the ship yard...so do yourselves a favour, thermals are needed!!!!!!!

Yes folks it's pissing down here in newcastle.
Local weather says its gonna stop and clear up by 5pm (yeah right)
So take summat warm n dry!
As some of you may know, Little Britain did a show here in Newcastle tonight, and the locals have spotted Neil and Dave Walliams about town in the past couple of days...
Who knows, might there be a surprise "something" at the Potemkin show tomorrow night? ;) (One can always hope....)

That means we´ll get some rumours again about Neil and David having a relationship. :oops: Have you seen them there ?
I *love* Minimal. Apart from the genius electro hook and ethereal production, I love the Peter Hook guitar which I thought was superfluous at first. And then there's the lyrics. I'm convinced its' themes are minimalism and existentialism. I see Sam Taylor-Wood directing the Donald Judd influenced...
Wasn't "Fundamental" supposed to start with a spoken introduction by N and C? Has anyone heard it?

Anyway, I think God wlling is ok where it is.
So do i. I don't see the problem with it being in the middle. I think it was R.E.M that did something like that on Automatic For The People and that sounds fine.

Last post
i've read a review saying that psb start repeating themselves. i say: better rely on what you're good at than try something completely new to fail. it's the best song on fundamental.
Well, finally got my hands on a promo copy of the most difficult to come by PSB promo since Neil burnt a CDr of his favourite 'Dust' tracks. All my normal sources drew a complete blank and it's hats off to the Boys for that. Well done!
Anyway, spent the morning pumping it through my Sony surround...
I've heard PSB are turning up to a private library in Newcastle tomorrow (Saturday) night. Best guess is they're filming interview segments for the forthcoming documentary.
Expect them to be gathering footage at Monday's Potemkin show too.
After listening to Fundamental with the original tracklisting (available here ), I have to say I think it flows so much better than with the one they finally decided on. I can't really see any real good reason to why they changed it, other than that the end of the album gets a boost with Integral....
Last post
the old tracklisting was better.....I don't know why they've changed it! :shock:
"I'll be buying (rather than downloading) Fundamental on May 22nd because in so many ways The Pet Shop Boys are one of the most productive, imaginative, and accomplished creative acts in Britain today."
I've just heard Minimal. What a wonderful track. I don't know how they described this as vibey electro though, I'd actually compare the beat to Flamboyant. Oh and that guitar at the end is just so New Order, my God.
Last post
Well... I tried. I really did. And Ive now listened to that song about 10 or 15 times, the entire song, and I just..... dont like it. Im not hearing what the rest of you are hearing. The song sounds like it half-belongs to another genre that Im more familiar with, but I cant quite place it. To me...
According to some infos (rumours ?) on the French forum, PSB will play a concert in Paris during the first week of the release of Fundamental. Is there anyone (Redman... ?) who can confirm ?
Last post
I hope they will make a concert in paris, it would be great,
let's hope they won't cancel this because i will be angry on them ,
the only time i see them it was in 2000 in bruxelles in belgium , and i really hope to see them again !
Think it would be great when Neil & Chris should do a signing session (for example at Virgin Megastore - London) when Fundamental comes out... Do they have plans about it?
Does anyone knows? Redman?
PSB are 'scheduled' to appear on Popworld on Channel 4 in the UK on May 6th. After seeing it on my TiVo, thought I'd have a quick look at their website, don't want to give you guys any more duff info!

Neither would I have thought of being SO excited about a PSB release...It's been 19 years that I've been a fan. So far, from what I have been able to listen, FUNDAMENTAL is my favourite album ! PSB are F.C.I.G BACK ! Though I've listened to almost all the tracks, I can't wait going into THAT shop,...
maybe i'm in the minority here, but i haven't heard any of the leaks thus far, and whats more, when i have seen them on the net, i've ignored them. whilst it's interesting and sometimes amusing to read the posts about the leaks, i'd much rather wait until the day the album is released and then...
Last post
I've just listened to I'm with stupid, Luna Park (a bad quality version I've deleted already) and Integral. The latter wasn't as good as I expected, so at least I won't be disappointed when I finally listen to the whole album.
So still 9 songs to wait for. :) It's always very exciting to come home with a...

A PSB documentary - 28 April '06

Well, minus the commercial breaks we'll probably get about 45 minutes of PSB, which won't be much time to cover 20 years.
Yonks ago when Neil was still in his uncle's Pet Shop, some files were put up as a competition (Swedish website?) to make a new mix of Home and Dry and the winning mix put on a future single. That was the theory I understood it as anyway.

There was a column in the Guardian today about Pop songs about money. There were several examples about money songs over the years but I thought this section re: Rent was especially good:
" The flipside of financial dependency is examined on the Pet Shop Boys' bottomlessly poignant Rent, in which...
Last post
Obviously, it should be a semi-colon. Crazy fool...
Rent is actually my favorite song and lyric of all time. It's not that original an idea to compare love and money, especially in 80's pop, but Rent is clearly head and shoulders above any other lyricists attempts.
These brief lines are something I needed to let going out. Some violins will appear from now on so cope with it or leave. :)
It's been almost 20 years since I first crashed with Suburbia on the radio. The first PSB song I remember, the song which made me ask "Who are these guys?".
All I can...

Well, I thank God that they had released Suburbia as a single; because I hated West End Girls then and Opportunities never got airplay here...If it weren't Sububria, I would have to wait until It's A Sin is released :D
Yes! After living with the song for a few weeks (well not living, even now I just have the version from Spanish radio) and watching the video and TOTP performance several times, I have to say: It's pretty bloody ace, isn't it? It does have all the ingrediants in the right place; bitterness, humour,...

It seems the Capital Group are steadfastly standing by their policy (ongoing for about 10 years now!) of not playlisting new PSB material.
Capital FM in London, plus all the other local stations they own around the UK, are, however, happy to playlist:

There was a thread on here a while ago about "PSB embarassment"; i.e. that more people would buy psb stuff if they didn't have to be seen grasping a CD by a gay, ageing pop duo in HMV or wherever . . . . there may be hosts of secret fans out there.

If they make the I'm with stupid remixes available only as downloads, it will definitely help the single chart's position because each individual remix download counts as 1 single sold.
Well, before all the fans have heard the whole album I start to see a lot of disappointing posts about Fundamental.
I have to say that I respect all the different points of view about this album. Although I am really surprised because I didn't expect these bad reactions in some fans.

Perfect answer. Thank you. :)
And on that note, seeing as certain people don't understand perfectly reasonable requests to not ask for copyrighted files in public, the thread is now closed.
can't believe how low the price is considering it's a new release. what's the go?

BTW, does anyone know if the cds ordered from Amazon and the official site will be delivered on the release date? Or will they be only sent on this day?
Hi all,
I've ordered a copy of Fundamental from Japan, whick is reportedly copy controlled. Of course, I want to make my own CD-R for personal use with the album, new Fundamentalism tracks, b-sides, etc. Questions are:
