After Neil's comments, I ask AGAIN: Epic = Orchestral?

Well, so it they were going to include the 3 songs of Potemkin on the new album (which ones are pop songs with strong orchestral arregments).
I think the "epic" songs of the new album could be orchestral songs too, as I thought. At least, with strings. If not, PSB never would have thought the possibility of including these kind of songs.

No. Its not going to be orchestral, with the exception of Numb.

At least, this is what Neil has claimed and this is all anyone knows.

Until we hear anything different from 'it's going to be purely electronic' it's not really credible to assume anything else.

I won't believe anything Neil says till I hear the album. He has changed his 'how the new album will sound like' story so many times during the last 2 years and it's taking so long to complete -usually a sign that they, themselves, don't have a clear plan on what they want it to sound like- plus Neil is so incredibly full of bollocks these days that he's hardly the person to trust even though he's a Pet Shop Boy. After all, he spent months claiming that Release was going to sound like Behaviour and what we got was a M.O.R collection of under-produced Coldplay b'sides.

So true. I'm starting to dread this new album now...

Alongside their new album they could release a five-disc dvd set: "The making of".
