April 3rd is an odd day too - it's a Wednesday.

Oh yes, so I see. I assume it'll get its first play on Radio 2. Can't see them being in the studio again - maybe Croaky Neil will be on the phone this time round.

I see more people say “to drop” rather than “to release” a record these days. “Dropping” sounds like something you do with a bag of cement. Maybe I’m too old. I’m not even 30.
It makes sense as things "drop" from the internet but yeah I agree. What gives me the shits is people saying he or she has passed instead of passed away. It makes them sound like they're a kidney stone

I find this really amusing, I must say. What the f*** does it matter these days when a PSB track drops? Be it Monday, Wednesday, Sunday. It simply does it matter at all. We’re „privileged“ in receiving these tracks on CD (or vinyl) and PSB probably won’t ever chart again. So I’m glad we’re still getting singles, B-Sides, Remixes. 🙏🏻

PS: The only aspect relevant to some degree is when the whole album is released and where it charts; but other than that…

I agree. I mean, if they want to have a chance to place on the singles chart then it has to be Friday because they'll get a whole week of streaming and physical sales. But as they're unlikely to chart anymore it's all about maximising the chance they'll get noticed by casual fans. A Wednesday (or Thursday) is late enough in the week, and it gets a jump on the mass of songs that are released on a Friday.

3 days until release! I'm looking forward to it. Love the 2 minute preview with the lyrics and orchestral stabs.

It's a bit surprising we haven't listened the song 3 days before the release.

Hello, the 4 snippets are still available for me. Did you browse to the playlist (bottom right) despite the 404 error message?

Nice one! It works and I just used Chrome Screen Capture to record them. Thanks.
The future is the present now. Music must be played.

It's working if you had them in the queue on your smartphone (I'm on Androïd). But it doesn't seem to work on the desktop version.

:-) Message was approved and therefore not displayed in real time. I'm actually an "old" member but for some reason could not loggin with my regular account since a few days. I didn't receive the password reset message (also checked my spambox). Anyway, I wrote to the forum admin for support and meanwhile created a new account.
Sorry for the off topic and Happy Easter everyone!

Not at all. Their other recent singles haven't been available to hear until the day of release.
