But even when EMI "owned" the masters of the 80s material, any fees for mixes, videos etc would ultimately be deducted from royalties in the long run anyway.

Agree it's hard to judge from a 30 second clip, however I have a feeling Dancing star's appeal may be a bit front-loaded - sweet and nostalgic on first listen but with diminishing returns. Happy to be proven wrong though.

Yes, if it was in the contract, but that was not always the case for all acts. And if it was the royalty share could be higher.

You can still access the snippets, if you follow the original links, at least the Superchumbo mix.
I guess I don't have the "special sauce" - nothing's working for me.
It's not you, the links have been taken down it seems - worked for me a couple of hours ago, but not anymore.
Have a look at my taste in music:

That’s the thing about negative energy, about hatred. It can be positive. It throws into relief all the things you know you like. It tells you, by elimination, what you’re about. Sometimes you can only define yourself by what you hate. Hatred becomes an inspiration; it makes you think, “What I’m doing now I totally believe in, and I don’t care what other people say.” Guided by hatred, you don’t have to follow the herd. - Neil Tennant

Oh yes, there it is, that classic retort. If we don’t like a new PSB song then it must mean we only like the 18 songs on Discography :roll:
Anybody listening to a snippet and then hyperventilating about the lack of a chorus and how boring it might be might want to give the song a chance first...or even a listen.

Drico.
Which is why if you read my post all the way through you would have seen that I said “Maybe the full single will be amazing when we hear it” - which obviously suggests I’ll be reserving proper judgement then. And fyi, being underwhelmed by a snippet of a song certainly doesn’t get me hyperventilating - that’s usually caused by people on their high horses assuming certain dispositions of other members of this forum. And for what it’s worth, your retort may very well not have been aimed at me but it’s certainly a childish response to someone who is continually bullied on here for having a particular taste in their music and having a limited English vocabulary. I thought you’d be above all that tbh but I guess you’re just like all the rest.
Its taken me all of my life to find you

The 2 minute previews are phenomenal.
Really looking forward to the single and the album.

Oh no! I was really enjoying the remix snippets on Beartport. All the mixes were giving me those sexy, bad b*tch vibes! Not even kidding. Loved them.

No one should ridicule anyone for their music taste, and let me be the one to apologize to you, years ago I flippantly told you to go and listen to some more OMD, and that was totally uncalled for, sorry for that.



What sometimes really annoys me is the constant moaning around her, just to be clear not directed at you, but all the complaining, is a bit tiresome.
