This will be 100% a Tennant/Lowe release. If it were a PSB, they'd have to shorten the title to "Future".

Well, if nothing else I think you've cracked it for the ironic title of the boys' infamous posthumous album!

I also think (hope) this will be a Tennant/Lowe release. Neil said at the time that BP and TMIT weren’t released as PSB because they didn’t want people thinking that those albums were the new PSB albums! Which makes sense. If AMFTF was released as PSB it would only be us hardcore fans that knew it wasn’t a proper album!

A FB post I just saw suggest a possible announcement tomorrow morning including a (BBC?) interview.

Perhaps if there is a second disc it may be different mixes of some of the tracks, such as the version of The Enigma they played on the Super tour.

Or their original demos with Neil’s narration.

I would imagine they will drop a teaser track alongside the official announcement. He Dreamed Of Machines might be likely - they played that live in Salford in 2012 and again at the Teenage Cancer Trust show in 2017.

Hopefully we get some more info tomorrow, on the production (Neil once said he would like to have Trevor Horn for this), the bluray content, the 2nd disc... To quote the late Tim Curry: Antici.... pation

Neil has confirmed Sven Helbig (Dresdener Sinfoniker) being the producer months ago.

They’re on Radio4 now.

Premier on 4th October on Radio3&6.

On BBC Breakfast at 8.40

Any news on the tracklisting yet? The 2 X CD?

Weird they didn't announce the physical release alongside the broadcast.
