That's the order of singles I'd do though I might switch Stupid with Minimal (I know I know....). After the reception Sodom and Gomorrah had at the concerts, and it being the track that most of my friends who are only casual PSB fans have to the song I think, controversy or not, or "too typical PSB gay anthem" or not it shoulda led the album. Oh well

Re: Listening to Concrete and Fundamental...
Errr... let me get this right: Minimal didn't stand out, but you *do* think it would have been a massive hit if Röyksopp had released it? I disagree with both.Butters wrote:... it is hard for me to understand why Integral never was and probably never will be a single. Yes it is a total rip-off of Let's All Chant but these days thats ok. Most songs on the radio are either rip-offs or cover versions. Integral stands out. Minimal and D... Numb didn't. PSB need to stand out these days. Minimal would have been massive if the label had said Röyksopp.
I still think Minimal is one of the best tracks on Fundamental. And I don't think it would have been bigger if Röyksopp had released it:
15/12/2001 - Poor Leno 59
17/08/2002 - Remind Me/So Easy 21
30/11/2002 - Poor Leno 38
08/03/2003 - Eple 16
28/06/2003 - Sparks 41
09/07/2005 - Only This Moment 33
08/10/2005 - 49 Percent 55
17/12/2005 - What Else Is There? 32

As you can see, Röyksopp only had one Top 20 single, while brilliant singles like Only This Moment, Remind Me and What Else Is There landed outside the Top 20...
