What do you think?

No idea. However, I think that he did the Belle and Sebastien album recently, and that that got fantastic reviews (even if it apparently didn't sell so well). So hopefully he's still at the top of his game.

Well, he did the latest seal album too

(and of course there's TATU...

)

I think he's a good choice for the PSB. I mean they will probably mix good together, they 've been knowned to know exactly what they want , so it's a good bet.

And it's not the first time..so.....

I think everyone evolves within the years...

Otherwise we shouldn't have PSB, New Order, Depeche Mode, Erasure anymore...

Well, maybe with Erasure that can be a good point...

His work on the B & S album was very subtle and underplayed. There's absolutely no sign of the typical Horn bombast, he just polished their trademark sixties-ish sound a bit, made it sound a bit more professional and less ramshackle. I like B & S a lot and Dear Catastrophe Waitress is a good album, but without Horn it would most likely sound almost exactly the same. So it doesn't really say anything about Horn's current state of creativity.

No, I've never dated him.

Yeah, I expect the whole of the next PSB album is going to sound just like 'Video killed the radio star'.

If we're very lucky, he might force Neil to do a cover of 'The look of love' over the orginal backing track.

He just tightened up their sound although like you said, the difference is minimal. I obviously haven't heard the latest Seal album so don't know what he added to that album but I think that if PSB want an epic sound then Horn could still cut the mustard.

Two of the very best-produced PSB singles (Left To My Own Devices and It's Alright) were done by Trevor Horn. The man worked with a wide range of artists, producing songs in very different musical styles. Just listen to 'Love's Divine' by Seal, to hear how subtle and excellent his production skills are. I'm confident that PSB made a wise decision to let Trevor Horn produce their new album.

I was listening to ZTT compilation CD - Propaganda , Frankie, Seal tracks and a thot came to mind. These tracks still sounds fresh, despite it being 15- 20 years old! Trevor has surely found the "fountain of youth" in music, I am sure the new PSB tracks produced by him will be equally of standard and quality.

In fact, "Integral" (album version) is also one of the best produced songs of the career of PSB. Maybe the last one, talking about anthemic sound.

If Trevor wanted to work on it seriously, of course it'd be great a new album. But he should take it seriously.

I love that:

No, thanks. I’m all in for Neil and Chris working with new people. I’ve had enough of TH.
