Would Twentieth Century make a good single?

Absolutely not! Worst track on the album by a long way. It's just so dull, and Neil's vocal is so weedy.

Worst song on the album for me, sorry.

how so? the entire album is about that conflation. this song actually less so than others on fundamental. it's actually the most solely "political" song on the album outside of integral and psychological. don't get me wrong... the song insn't my favorite either, but it does seem overtly political on an album with so many tracks that are equally personal and political (i'm with stupid, sodom and gamorrah, indefinite leave, luna park...)

That´s the point. If it´s a single, for sure will be a remixed seven-inch version. It´s one of my favourites on the album, but it needs a bit of energy for a single... If this happens, I think it can be a great single, maybe the best choice to my ears...

maybe i'm all alone but i think it's one of the best on fundamental and has single potential. i'd release it. it's up to the boys and / or their record company, though.

I actually love this song... especially from 3:30 onwards.... pure chill out heaven... they should extend the last minute for another 1 min 30 secs or so and it would be a class instrumental track

How can you say it's the worst song, it's got a wicked beat to it, PSB at their best.

I like it and in some ways it is a more commercially viable choice than a lopt of the other songs. Still, TSAGS and Indefinite Leave To Remain would make for better choices.

I gotta say that the last minute, or so of the track is utterly fantasic.

It's a good track, but as a single, it would be a disastrous flop.

It's my favourite track on Fundamental, and I agree it needs to be remixed should they decide to put it out as a single.

I'm planning to make a sexy Drum'n'bass remix of it...anyone found out the chords?
