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)

And Trouser Enthusiasts for 'Integral' please...

oh yesss...good girl!!

I would choose LANGE for S&G Show, HITMAKERS for NUMB (they did a wonderful job with DRUNK which is a mid tempo track) and Minimal is a song that can be remixed by Almighty easily.

Pertan, i suppoer you. Indefinite is the best ballad, maybe short but really great.
The idea (Sodom as A-side) is good in extreme

October 2nd? Thats like, 9 weeks after the 2nd single?? why such a long gap? no one will care by then?....unless they release 15 b-sides with it for the fans?

my choose for singles :

1- I'm with stupid

2- S&G Show
This song will be a TREMENDOUS hit in latin countries (if released) where language is not an issue.
Maybe it would be necessary to do some arrangements like they did with DRUNK by removing the entire "You only tell me you love me when you are" and leaving the word DRUNK alone. Maybe "The S&G Show" or "The Show" ?

If it is sooooo impossible to release a song under this title, maybe due to english speakers issues, the single could be reinterpretated singing something else instead of "Sodom & Gomarrah", maybe "Solo & Gomorroh". I dont know, somebody must think about this.
Now seriously, I think this track has the potential to be a #1 around the world. PSB-EMI, please make it happen!!!

3- Integral

4- Numb : just because I think it deserves to be a single. Awesome track. I know 4 singles are not an option but this track deserves it.

Although I don't like it as much as the others, I think Minimal is going to be a single. PSB must have everything ready, since at the beggining, PSB had chosen it as a first single.

summary : PLease release S&G Show as a single!!!!

BPSB

I don't know, it's just what is on the current release schedule.

9 weeks is not such a long gap.

4 singles please

I'm with stupid
Integral
Numb/minimal (doble a side)
SAGS

Numb is being considered as single.

Sources?

If it's true someone has lost the plot.

No way. We need the promotion. That's why TSAGS wasn't the first single of Fundamental.

Ummm......... WE?!?!?!?!?!

Either someone tipped their hand at who they really are (not likely) or someone has DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR......

IF EMI will disagree on issued S&G on single it wil be a mega tragedy and end of dream about conquest charts! this great single!!!!

Integral and Minimal are brilliant, but ...this is not it

My proposals:

- The City Of...
- The City Of (Sex, Sind, Sex etc.)
- Are You Gonna Go?

- Consequences: Anger Of God

If the July and October dates are correct then imo the singles should be

July 24th - Integral
October 2nd - Sodom And Gomorrah Show/Twentieth Century (Radio Mix) over 3 cds or 2 and DVD.(but if we have to have Numb then Numb but I would prefer it to be left as an album track.)
January 15th or 22nd - Minimal or I Made My Excuses And Left (Re-worked Radio Version)

To coincide with the beginning of the tour?

I think anyone touting "numb" for release is nuts. Numb wouldve been better on "Release"
