01. Minimal (Telex Hell Remix) - sounds like he's remixing Kraftwerk, not PSB's

02. Blue On Blue -

Superb!

03. No Time For Tears (7-inch Mix) - sounds nice as well

Shame they're on the DVD

all I have to say is you old school PSB purists must be loving these B-sides cause they all are sounding like the early analog style PSB.

I have to hear more but from the sampe I could get into it.interesting chord changes

thanks for the links

The vocals on Blue on Blue remind me of That's My Impression.

But why are these extra tracks on the DVD single only!

Arrrr! Drives me mad, as once again I will have to rip them to hear them on a decent Hi-Fi.

Perhaps they will be released on CD in another country.

Wow, it sounds like an out-take from Please.

"Blue On Blue" - I hope there's more to the music than what I just heard. If not than amateur / lazy is my opinion.
"No Time For Tears" - Would be a great intro for a really upbeat track (Think "The Sun Always Shines On T.V.) but I guess it's another ballad.
Keeping an open mind, haven't heard the tracks in their entirety...

How come you haven´t heard No time for tears? It´s been released on BP soundtrack album almost a year ago...

BP wasn't released in the US. In all honesty I wasn't really interested in the whole concept. I'm not a big fan of their ballads and the bits I heard from the soundtrack weren't bad but they weren't anything groundbreaking.

BOB is one of their worst b-sides ever.

I think the full lenght version is pretty good, but I actually expected more from the sample. I like the basic backing track, but some of it sounds very underproduced. Neils voice is processed just like on old PSB b-sides. It's also not very "clean" - there's an audible vocal "pop" just before the first "Sky Meets The Sea", that should obviously have been edited out by the engineer.

Overall, I like it, but it's not a classic.

It's very 'Bobby O'

Hmm..yea.. are they looking at rehashing old songs for b-sides?
Girls dont cry was superb.

Cant say the same about this Blue On Blue. Starts of well, by i dont like it when Neils voice goes upwards (during that chord change)
I like the hi-nrg part, but Neil's vocals hasnt been done properly.

With it's summer / sailing feel, it reminds me of Between Two Islands.

Looking forward to hearing this, really liked the sample, if only the shops in town weren't so flipping useless.

To take the topic on a slight tangent; heres a quick question to those with the DVD, how different is No Time For Tears ? Is it basically the same track just edited properly or have they remixed it at all ?

I really like Blue on Blue alot; i downloaded it, the other b-sides, and several of the remixes from 7digital.com.

They continue to put out amazing b-sides.
