well, it is trance, but why does everybody say it's cheesy
it's just that kind of song, what did you expect it to be?
at least it stands out along with Fugitive from those horrible remixes on Fundamentalism
Because they use the most obvious, cliched and dated trance sounds on the song. It's clear that they have done it very quickly and cheaply.

Yes, it really stands out from the remixes that are really really good this time (except for the Dettinger's rather boring take on Gomorrah).

I've been saying all along the versions of Fugitive and In Private on Fundamentalism are remixes but I'm not sure now :?

Fugitive sounds like a proper "original" song but In Private still sounds like a remix to me :roll:

If they are original versions then I wish they would've just called them Fugitive and In Private instead of adding Richard X extended mix and Stuart Crichton club mix on the end!
If they wanted to show who worked on the track they should've just put produced by Richard X and produced by Stuart Crichton.

God, and In Prvate is such a fine song. Just to have it ruined by that other twerp. They should have left this one well alone. Nuff said.

I kind of like it, in the same way as I kind of liked Steps cover of Tragedy, utterly poppy and trashy but still enjoyable to listen to.
Btw, it's guaranteed to be a huge comic relief type hit with Neil and Elton in drag.

Specially with Shep's remix.

wait! there's more than one version of Fugitive on Fundamentalism??? what is it?!

what I hate about IP is that Elton's voice completely takes over and I can't hear Neil's at all. and Elton sounds awful in this song.
I wooooooooooooooood if I cooooooood...

No, I meant they should've just called it Fugitive and not Fugitive: Richard X extended mix if the version on Fundamentalism is the only (aside from the demo) version :wink:

I'm fussy over stuff like that :grumble: :)

LOL.

Followed by "Which one of the Pet Shop Boys sings the songs?" and "Which one stands there doing nothing and looking bored?"!!! :wink:

The mix is a combination of inspiration and crapness....
Hello my name is Neil Tennant and I'm Chris Lowe and we're of the Pet Shop Boys.
