Drico.
Dreamland is more a love song than anything else for almost everyone who listens the song except hardcore fans. They know PSB and Olly are gays, so they are not going to give a chance on second themes. They only enjoy with the music.

nickname, I know that you're not the sharpest tool in the box but do you automatically assume that singers in duets are shagging each other?

People who know who really know who I am, think just the opposite.

Do you think a person who doesn't know anything could have a reliable percepetion about me?.

You make me laugh :lol:

Dreamland sounds like a sub-par track for Erasure. Don't get me wrong, I quite like a lot of Erasure's music, just DL sounds like something from their later catalog. If Andy and Vince did it I would probably shrug and think, hmmm, not their best but they're trying. For the PSB it is just incredibly sub-par.
The way to make this song interesting is to have Angelo Baldamenti re-arrange it and have Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue handle the vox.

I dont like it, but then again for some odd reason I never seem to like the lead singles from their albums. plus the other guys voice just grates on me.

Not a fan of Olly's voice, song would be better if just Neil IMO...or just perhaps a different singer dueting with him.
