Just some songs that came up, unaware of any logical sequence...

Casanova in Hell
Between Two Islands
Numb
To step aside
One and one make five
What are we going to do about the rich?
An open mind
One way street
The night I fell in love
The loving kind
Only the dark
Your funny uncle
Can you forgive her? - Swing version
The lost room
Here
I get along
Listening
In his imagination
Through you
It always comes as a surprise
Hey, headmaster

Coincidentally, I've been listening to Format these last days... There are lots of great songs there, so as the latest EPs like Lost, Agenda, Laundrette etc.
Let's enjoy it all while it lasts.

Oh man I'd love Wisp to be the opener. We need an extended version so they can walk on with that one, like Axis.

It's the perfect song to bridge the vintage synth stuff with the new.

I imagine this setlist might materialise some good mixes, actually?

I thought the purpose of an opening track would be warmly welcoming the audience, not shoo away them? :D
My bet is on Too Many People. Neil looks at the audience and sighs...oh irony..

Hehehehe Winner should be there in "fan's favourites"...
I guess their songs have different meanings among the listeners...
Actually Winner holds a special place in my family's history...

I also love The calm before the storm... So peaceful!

We all feel better in the dark. I mean, the title alone is the best fit for a show called Obscure. And it's a fan favourite B-side.

I can see Two divided by zero opening the show, too.
