The order of the singles is not the important thing (although I think a song like Integral would be better for summer as second single).

The important thing to include Gomorrah like a single. Most of people think Fundamental has 5 good songs to be promoted (I'm with stupid, SAGS, Integral, Numb. Minimal), Neil thinks more or less the same. All of them can be promoted with four singles. And all of them would have a video.

My pick would be:

1. I'm with stupid

2. Integral (a polemic politic song which could fit nice on actual scenario)
Remixes by Paul Oakenfold, Stuart Pride and Chus & Cebalos

3. The Sodom and Gomorrah Show (best song of the album IMO)
Remixes by Almighty, Tony Moran and DJ Memê (Brazil)

4. Minimal
Remixes by Mylo, Davis Morales and Hitmakers (Brazil)

Numb is being considered as single.



PS. Who is Readman..?
I played Numb to a radio station controller last night on the way back from an event, along with Minimal and Integral. He thinks it has the most the commercial radio potential out of any of them.

Supposing 4 singles is the maximun number of singles (in not particular order):

- I'm with stupid
- Minimal
- Integral / Gomorrah (double A-side); a good solution for the censure.
- Numb

or

- I'm with stupid
- Minimal
- Integral
- Numb / Gomorrah (double A-side)

The 5 songs with video (just the same as Behaviour era). There is no problem with "Gomorrah" now because it's a double A-side. The radio stations could choose the other A-side.
Yes I think it's the most useful decision.
What about a 5th single? :wink:

There is not possibility of 5 singles, only four.

I suspect it'll be 3 singles at the most.
Integral or Minimal would be my choice since they're both the most accessible if not the best songs on the album.

Yay! :D

Mixers -
Minimal: Stuart Price, Mylo (I could imagine him doing something great with the M-I-N-I-M-A-L bit), Motor and Tiefschwarz

Numb: none, just a TH extended mix! Or maybe somebody like Goldfrapp or Air, but I'd prefer no remixes of this track!

Not a bad word about Numb please.
It's not incidental that the boys picked this one. Who cares about Warren? It's the PSB who recorded and produced this song.
Numb is good, very good; credits go to the boys.

I agree completely with the header and also which singles it should be.
