What would save Disco 4???

#1 Post by Danimal »

In your humble opinions, what would save the upcoming Disco 4 release? In my mind, if the PSB either replaced the mixes of Stupid and Integral with two newly recorded extended cover versions of other artists’ songs performed by the boys or perhaps if they released a COMPLETE compilation of remixes the Boys have done for other artists would go a long way toward persuading me to buy the thing. I already own all of the mixes (except for the new Integral one) on the forthcoming Disco 4, so why bother?
To be honest, unless any new release includes some new material I would much rather see Nightlife and Relentless further listenings.

I'd be happy if:

- it included 2-3 new songs to make it a 10 track collection.
- it included 1 new song and 7-8 unreleased mixes of recent songs and old classics.
- it followed the Disco 3 formula.

Instead we have a complete f*ck up of a cd that is unlikely to flow :evil:

for me

12 tracks 5 remixes of other peoples songs. 3 unreleased mixes from Fundamental era and 3 unrealesed Fundamental songs like Ring Road. Then a single version of Integral.

The current Disco 4:

- replacing the electro mix and the "There are no guitars on this" mix of WOTI and Mein Teil with the extended dance mix and the "You are what you eat" mix

- including the remixes of Blur and the Kiki Kokova one. Maybe the Pete Burns one too.


My fantasy Disco 4:

- new songs

- extended mixes by PSB and/or Trevor Horn of songs from Fundamental

- OR remixes of tracks from Fundamental that haven't been remixed yet

Realistically, I'd settle for the superstar remix of Hooked on Radiation in place of the orange alert mix and just one more new PSB remix of one of their own songs (in place of the rather poor PSB maxi-mix of I'm with stupid). New tracks would be better, but I'd be satisfied just to have a little more remix material that I hadn't heard before.

Obviously an album with new songs would be the ideal, a la Disco 3.

However, assuming that for whatever reason they couldn't do that it would have made far more sense to have at least have had a complete collection of every remix they have ever done for another artist- so include Girls & boys, the Kiki Kokova stuff, even Fat Les etc etc. Make it a double CD if necessary. To have every mix in one place would have made some sense at least.

The way Disco 4 has turned out strikes me as a totally pointless release. A waste of time, effort and money (both on the part of Parlophone and the fans).

Such a shame :(

If they decide to stick with the tracklisting, only a packaging/artwork more novel than the "Very" Lego CD case might save it.

I'm perfectly happy wit hit. Its a good place for some of these songs, and reflects how the Disco series has no party line, or predictability. It seems odd tha Fugitive hasn't appeared maybe, but hey. Come on lads! Its a new album-ish for most of us.

It will be probably the worst PSB album in UK charts: it's a not sense release a collection of only 8 remixes without new songs. The remix of Bowie is been released in 1997, why does they put it on a new collection?
I'm dissapointed, PSB, very disapoointed...
It's very strange make a video for Integral and lauch only promo copies...
