like Integral

but it wont do very well chart-wise. People are tired of war and terror and politics.

The singles so far have added alot of mellow colour to the PSB image. Somehow I don't think a cutting/scathing song like Integral will do them any favours single-wise.

Hopefully the Fundamental ones or some from 2003+ :D

Yes, my thoughts too! :)

I would be AMAZED if there is a 4th single

Very few established artists release four singles from an album these days. The cost of shooting a video, artwork, promotion etc when it will spend 1 week in the Top Forty and three in the Top 75 doesn't make comercial sense. It would only be worth it if sales for Fundamental would be increased but given the fact that Minimal had a minimal effect on the album sales and Numb has (so far) had no effect it wont happen.

For what it's worth, i think a new single mix of Integral (maybe by Richard X?) would be pretty awesome. Sadly i suspect that once Numb has spent its 2/3 weeks in the charts and the tour is over the 'Fundamental' era will be at a close....
I'm always waiting...

As I have already said I do not want a 4th single (even thoug hmore b-sides would be nice) unless they can sort out stockists.

Bilingual = 4 (5 with Somewhere)
But not 3, which was what i was replying to. Anyway, unless i'm very much mistaken, Somewhere was on the Bilingual special edition. So i'm sticking with 5.

I agree with Rent regarding Nightlife. There were a load of single opportunities. Release probably had 1 single.

I wish people would get over Fugitive. It's never a single and i'm so glad Trevorn Horn produced the album rather than Richard whoever. I wanted a solid pop record and got one, not trash that you would hear in a sleazy bar in the darkest part of London.

So what if Integral sounds like 1994? It also sounds like something you would get in 2010. It's a top record. A record PSB fans (well the majority) have been crying out for, for a decade.

We won't get a 4th single, since Numb (mutilated radio edit) will flop. Of course Integral is the obvious choice, but its single release is purely hypothetical.

Agreed I was disappointed with Nightlife only having 3 singles. IMO there are easily 2 or 3 more songs which would have made good singles.

Do what I do. Instead of buying all formats at once, buy them individually so they count as 4 sales instead of one.

Surely 4 copies counts as 4 sales?!
