I do agree that Fugitive is an absolutely fantastic track.... However i have to agree that it may sound a little bit 'outdated' for its era...hand claps sound, fast synth bass, that's just bringing the 80's back.

I agree, it's a good track - but definitely not the best PSB track ever : It's a sin , Can you forgive her? Always on my mind and Go west are still some of their best tracks in my opinion

fugitive is absolutely brilliant....when i first heard it my reaction was "damn this is better than anything on very"...and that's saying a lot.

and about the whole "why should it even be a single" topic...as adiba said, its mostly because you want others to hear it. (and to bow down before psb and admit they are the best ;) ) nah, kidding about the second part.

According to my iTunes counter this is the song from Fundamental/ism that I've listened to the most, followed by Excuses and Minimal.

It's a top track but I think the subject matter might be too hot to handle

Since when has controversy done pop music any harm?

Fugitive is better than anything on Fundamental and is their best track for 15 years. Quite brilliant.

I agree. A few non PSB fans i know couldn't believe just how good this track is.

The advice given to them on releases sucks quite frankly.

Sodom & Gomorrah should have been the first single. Then followed by Minimal and then a Double A side of Fugitive/I'm With Stupid.
