I couldn't access it yesterday evening, and I also can't access it right now. Is it a local/national problem (I tried on both my home and work computer) or do more people get an error message?

I can't access either, think this problem must be related to the recent change of server of the official site.

Anyway, thanks for the info and the pic. Love the sleeve, btw.

same problem as well which does not make the cover any better...it's boring and everyone could design it.

Anyone could have designed any PSB sleeve by Farrow. The difference is, Farrow did and he's Farrow and everyone else is not, so he must have done something right all these years.

I LOVE the cover. LOVE it. LOVE it.

But what I'm really happy to see is that they have stopped hiding behind the Pet Shop Boys persona & are releasing material as Tennant / Lowe.

I beleive that's a first, so Good for them.

It'll purely be a marketing decision, to stop this detracting from their comeback proper next spring. It's a good move.

I'll remind you that Emi classics is involved in the project. I think it is because they imagine many people into "classical music" will be interested. And if they put "Pet Shop Boys" instead of "Tennant-Lowe", these people wouldn't take this project seriously. With "Tennant-Lowe", these people will maybe imagine that they are two new hip English composers...

I'm sure that all it is (as I said earlier) is that as this is an EMI Classics release, the sleeve needs to show the composers (Tennant/Lowe) and the performers (PSB and DS). If you look at any classical music CD sleeve, the composer is listed separately the the performers.

Just checked official site before coming here. Nice cover. 5th September.... Hope that´s the real date.

Yes... it's a good move from the pop and the classical viewpoints.

Welcome.

Does anyone have problems opening the official site? I can´t get access to it. Our Internet works fine otherwise.

Again, I can’t access either.

We should make a complaints thread.
