There's a mention of the video on teletext today.
Also it states Integral is released on Sept 17th as a single.

Just got back...

Basically, we were all photograped twice, holding stills of people's digitised faces. These are going to appear in the finished video as a high-speed montage of stills. We should all appear in the video, although we may need a pause button to find ourselves!

The new mix of 'Integral' was playing on a laptop in the corner of the room, not too different, more electronic. There was some footage on the laptop, all b&w digitised images of mainly Neil, protestors, helicopters etc.

My overall conclusion is that the video seems low-budget (not necessarily a bad thing) and quite raw. Don't expect anything too lavish and you won't be disappointed.

I was lucky enough to be the first one up to be photographed. I expect my cheesy grin won't make the final edit

The video is based on barcodes, and is a black and white representation of this effect, Neil's face is highly pixelated and the pixels grow and shrink in size in parts of the video.

I have to disagree with Stussyboy and say that the mix of Integral is very different.

The verses sound very different. I couldn't tell if the vocals had been re-recorded. There was heavy use of the vocoder on Neil's voice. The whole thing sounded fantastic, a proper PSB mix. Very catchy, and different enough to feel 'new'.

I stayed from 3-6pm at the shoot and enjoyed meeting many other fans there including Kris and Trixie.

I feel privileged to have been there. I hope everyone else enjoyed themselves as much as I did. I took some really crap pictures on my phone, but here they are for anyone who's interested. Not much to see really, a small room with lots of PSB fans (and some ID protesters) wandering around.

Is that David Baddiel on the second photo?

I really enjoyed the day and it was great to meet some of you from this forum. I liked the Integral mix playing in the background. Had about four snap-shots taken and wandered around in the background. Looking forward to the final edit......whatever that might be

LOL, nope he was one of the guys making the video.

I had an enjoyable time today. The photoshoot itself was a tad mundane but it gave everybody the chance to wander around, chat and help themselves to drinks and snacks, which was nice.

Met a couple of forum members - enjoyed a lengthy PSB conversation with Transforce (it's not often I get the chance to talk PSB in such depth so that was cool) and a much briefer one with Trixiemix, which was my fault as I guessed it was her from her profile pic but didn't approach her for ages in case I'd got it wrong. A certain banned forum member was there, too. And despite what people may think of him, he seemed OK in the flesh.

Anyway, looking forward to the video immensely. The new mix of Integral is interesting, much darker and more electronic sounding than the album version. Definitely not single material, though.

I'm really looking forward to the video and the new mix!! Was there anybody who might have managed to record a bit of the new mix with a microphone?

What do you mean Kris that it doesn't sound like single material? "Integral" has always sounded like single material to me, how come could this mix be very different in there?

Glad who went had a good time. (And met other PSB fans too). I wish I had gone!

Yeah, the album version definitely sounds like single material but believe me, this new mix doesn't. Having said that, it could be that they were planning a different version for the single. The mix we heard yesterday might be the one on Disco 4.

So it all turned out ok? It would have been fun to be a part of.
