Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless

[leesmapman]

Bland and forgettable. I don't think any of the FL tracks were lost gems to be honest.

Even Dancing in the Dusk?

[Spittingcat]

Love Reunion, I wish they'd finished it off (with a bit of added Johnny Marr).

[rathound]

its clearly a demo but its a really nice song. Definitely could have done something with it

Track 175 : Alone again, naturally (featuring Elton John) CD2 :15

Another collaboration with Elton, covering Gilbert O'Sullivan. Perhaps the "best" one between PSB and Elton.

awful

Track 176 : Reunion (electro mix) Release Further Listening CD2 :16

Bland and forgettable. I don't think any of the FL tracks were lost gems to be honest.

For me, there is one... Slow Motion.

Agree, and should have been one of the strongest tracks on Elysium. Not sure why it never made the cut. I like quite a few of the FL tracks. So Sorry I Said is a great song.

[Disco.]

Quite like that track Alone….

Track 177 : We’re the Pet Shop Boys Release Further Listening CD2 :17


Theme originally written by My Robot friend (2002) covered by Pet Shop Boys (2003) and later by Robbie Williams in Rudebox (2006) produced by PSB. A genius in its three versions!!!

"Rent /Shopping /Being boring
It's alright/It's a sin
I'm not scared /In denial
I want a dog/I want a lover
Can you forgive her? /Do I have to?
What have I? What have I? What have I done to deserve this?"

Love it. And still amazing that PSB had to cover a track called "We're the Pet Shop Boys".

A PSB song that exists solely for the purpose of self-referential irony. Someone who isn't the Pet Shop Boys writes a song about being the Pet Shop Boys then the actual Pet Shop Boys cover it. It's then covered by someone else who isn't the Pet Shop Boys. We get the joke.

The slightly longer version on Release FL does slightly improved it btw

[NOBODY75]

It's actually pretty good, to be honest

"Rent /Shopping /Being boring
It's alright/It's a sin
I'm not scared /In denial
I want a dog/I want a lover
Can you forgive her? /Do I have to?

Great usage of Chris' listing ability.
