Well…Was it Worth it? Disappointed to be honest. I get that they’re demos but the songs are just boring. No memorable choruses, no tunes or big melodies. I’m filing this away with Cricket Wife in the ‘won’t be listening to that again’ part of my shelf!

Where are the tunes guys?

I will fall
Into your arms
As soon as you call
I'll be astrayed in a taxi
And head over wherever you are
For I'll recall
The moment I knew
This was once and for all

We'll be together
And I will fall
Into your arms
And I will fall
Into the future

I will melt
Into your arms
Like the last snow of winter
Discovering spring
As soon as you ring
I'll be astrayed in a taxi
And head over wherever you are
Once and for all

We'll be together
And I will fall
I will fall
Into your arms
And into the future

Come away with me
I will fall
Come away with me
I will fall
Come away with me
I will fall
Come away with me
I will fall
Come away with me
I will fall
Come away with me
I will fall
Come away with me
I will fall
Come away with me

I will fall
I will fall
Lleonard, I’m pretty sure it’s “I’ll be straight in a taxi”.
Woof.

Some very nice songs, it’s clear they are demos, but that adds to the charm I think. Great that they release things like this for the fans.

Thanks. I guess I couldn't figure Neil being straight in a taxi or anywhere for that matter :lol:

I Will Fall is a amazing track and definitely would have made Super or Hotspot a better album,the rest of the songs are a decent standard as demos so a pleasant surprise.

How the heck did Groovy get on Super and not I will fall or The lost room. Their choices baffle me sometimes
Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.

Stuart didn’t like I will fall and they deemed The Lost Room too dark. Whatever your view on the track, Groovy is a good fit with Super.
Woof.

Lost Room and Kaputnik could fit on Hotspot for sure.

I would have saved The dictator decides for this EP, put I will fall on Super. And lose Sad robot world and really turn Super into a fun / romantic album without intricate subject matter.

Literally nothing could improve Super. Hotspot is good as it is also, none of these tracks could improve it!

:D The Lost Room is excellent, I Will Fall is ok, Skeletons In The Closet, sounds like they started with this before re-working it into Twenty Something, it's ok, Kaputnik is appealing as Groovy and Pazzo!, nothing more to be said on that, then Living In The Past, awesome track, really beautiful.

A surprising, beautiful listening experience. But I expect nothing less from PSB. 🥰

We are lucky that Katpunick was not included on hotspot, it's rather a curious and embarassing track.
They can produce the best and the worst at the same time.
