The Flamboyant video is very funny too. I liked their TV performances with the Japanese dancers; very Harajuku.
I'm also a bit fascinated by Chris's hair at this point. What was that all about?

Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.

Yeah, that was last hurrah hair. I love the video for this - I suppose you could say they both let their hair down for it, especially the shampoo ad part!Flaffer wrote: Sun 13 Sep 2026, 11:57 pmIn all fairness he said, I think in Literally, that he was growing it out before it was too late/last chancePatrick Bateman wrote: Sun 13 Sep 2026, 10:30 pm The Flamboyant video is very funny too.

I like all the versions of this song but special mention for the Michael Mayer Kompact mix.
For your own good, call me tonight.

Imagine if they'd have had Miracles and Flamboyant as the two new tracks on Discography. I love DJ Culture but it was never going to be a massive hit.

I've never seen any pictures of him with the hair but without the hat. I assume none exist?Flaffer wrote: Sun 13 Sep 2026, 11:57 pm

Track 171 : Miracles Further Listening Release CD2 :11
A masterpiece—one of the group's top five tracks.
Pure poetry, worthy of being displayed in a museum. There is a volume distortion in the middle of the song that has always struck me as a bit odd. Even so, it’s a track that borders on perfection!

Haunting intro followed by immaculate lyrics and melody. The sonic nods to Madonna's Frozen are top notch. Pop perfection.
I was addicted to the Eric Prydz remix too.

very nice song, lovely melodies. Prydz remix is ace. Strange that its a bit forgotten about as its very much one of their stronger tunes post the Imperial phase

A good song indeed but it sounded too soft since the first day. As Lleonard Pler said, a nod to Madonna’s Frozen. Personally I would have programmed the drum patterns in a less conventional way. Being the 1st single from a greatest hits album is never an easy task. The video is outstanding in my opinion.

Miracles has grown a lot on me in recent years, I even prefer it over Flamboyant these days. Simply beautiful and close to perfection in my opinion.
