My confirmation email took an hour to arrive.

This is so lovely!
I am literally crying over how moving this will be for you!

They used monochrome cathode-ray tubes (CRTs) that displayed text in only one color against a black background. The two most popular and iconic colors for these displays were phosphor green and amber (orange).Beyond that, the combination is also used in modern tech for:Networking: Orange fiber optic cables often pair with green connectors to indicate specific hardware standards.Interface Design: Digital interfaces frequently use green for "success/go" actions and orange for "warnings."

What does everyone think?
PSB/Farrow wont have chosen those colours by accident. I suspect you're right with this assessment or something along these lines.

The second cd/lp is the instrumental versions and exclusive on the blu ray is a “no narration” version.
T shirt actually looks interesting.
Where did you find a T-shirt?
The store is a bit of a minefield depending on country.

You have to ensure the shop currency is United Kingdom GBP. Then the extra goodies appear.

Sadly the book doesn't seem to ship to Canada irrespective but the T shirt does.

Bon chance!

It’s kind of formatted like Battleship Potemkin with the artist name first (Tennant/Lowe) then the sub-text showing who the performers are..in this case PSB, Juliet Stevenson and Manchester Camerata, then the orchestrator Sven Helbig.
Yes and I speak on behalf of all fans.... ;)
The way its laid out on the package definitely suggests:

Composer - Tennant/Lowe/Hodges
Performed by - Pet Shop Boys/Juliette Stevenson/Manchester Camerata

It's without doubt in the same family as TMIT and BP

And also, Neil has made it very clear in interviews that all proper PSB album titles will only be one word.
