They must have paid a fortune for him to do that, he is in high demand. Unless he did it cheaper because of who they are.

sounds like "Frances Barber/Billie Trix" isn´t it? But I´m possibly wrong...
It’s Princess Julia, who was part of the Blitz scene and has been a clubland figure ever since. The current issue of Electronic Sound magazine is focused on the Blitz club/scene and Princess Julia is listed as the first person contributing
Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.

The Solomun remixes sound absolutely fantastic.

So the digital release will offer more tracks than the CD single.

No, the “b-sides” are not going to be on the digital release on Beatport.

It's been a long time since I looked forward to a Pet Shop Boys single quite as much as I do this...

My Granddad was the Orchestral Director at the Royal Opera House in London when Nureyev was there with the Royal Ballet, my Mum saw him in Swan Lake there when she was 15, she used to get to go to any show she wanted.

I think it's likely they'll perform the song at the ROH in July.
Heaven is possible,

I'd say it is obvious.

Sounds really great - look forward to the whole package.

Love the sounds so far - if its general for the whole album then we are in for spoiling for sure.

Well Dancing Star sounds a bit..boring??!? I know we’ve only heard a 30 sec sample and we have a few mins from the remixes..but I don’t hear any chorus? Just the line ‘dancing star’ being screeched a hundred times in a row.

Where is the orchestra gone? Where is the lush sound gone? For a 2nd single that is promoting a forthcoming album I don’t think this is selling it well. Maybe the full single will be amazing when we hear it but I can’t help thinking this sounds like a throwaway b-side at best!
Its taken me all of my life to find you

I see what you mean and I'm agree. The first verses are great "When the streets of London...." but the chorus is a bit weak. You expect from the song something more melodic.

Let's see what happens with the full song.
