Editors - Our Love (Solomun Remix) as well. 💪🏼
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

Interesting sound, I think in one piggy bank with songs: two divided by zero, will-o-the-whisp, unexpectedly strong songs on the new album. It looks like an old school, like we're back to the first album. Although I was hoping to repeat the bilingual album. Both of these albums are in my TOP, along with behaviour and elysium. I think that in other albums not all songs are so perfectly combined 100%.

Is there a connection between Neil's voice going and the shouty choruses of both Monkey Business and Dancing Star?

Loneliness has quite a shouty chorus too, actually. HMMMMM.

Two of Solomun's mixes I suggest work well:

"You're not alone" [With Blasé] [Solomun's mix] by Agoria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RGf1upsOzE

"Looking at your pager" by K.H. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJlE2SZU7xE

I'll definitely research options.

Posting from amazon UK to Europe is also over €12 :( Almost twice the price of the CD
It also seems this CDS is a UK only release...
Why o why don't they open an EU store like every other artist?

Whar about juno.co.uk? That's where I got my Loneliness CD from, they had the most affordable shipping in my case.

Thanks! Their shipping is €5 so that’s indeed a much better deal. Will order from them

I suppose we'll find new snippets or even the full version of the song tomorrow. The release is April 3rd so I think it would be obvious.

I know we havent heard the whole song, but listening to what I believe is the chorus..... as some have said its pretty much domino dancing, you can even sing "watch them all fall down" in the place you imagine it would be.

its so close I am surprised Neil and Chris didnt alter the chord progression more.

It doesn't sound that much like domino dancing for me.
The whole song will be different.

I don't listen to song 'snippits' (tough as it is). I would rather wait until I can hear the track in full and then make a proper judgment on it. You can't possibly do that with just a sample.

And even when you have the full song you need to give it time. It's taken me ample listens to get to the point where I love Loneliness.

Why?
Because nickname's universe is slightly different to ours
