I MADE MY EXCUSES AND LEFT - ballad / Chris vocal
:drool: Why do we have to wait for the song of the decade ?
Interviewer:
-What would you tell someone about yourself if you wanted to impress them?

Chris:
-I´ve got a 12-inch plonker.

dont get mad at me I am just the messenger, but according to DazzerUKUK(who heard fundamental) he mistakenly didnt correct Ghost within this house when he said he thought Chris was singing on that song. according to DazzerUKUK neil is singing the track. read Dazzers comment below.....


Oops.....my mistake - didnt notice Chris's name had been slipped in there! ( I guess thats how rumours fly around)
No, its Neil's vocals on that too......

What a pity!. It would have been fantastic they could make a song similar to "Left to my own devices" (a good ending for this new album) but everybody who has heared the album think the last songs of Fundamental are weak.

I believe in what they say. Apart from that, we know the style of the song is not similar to "left to my own devices", according to DazzerUKUK it is like "Birthday Boy" in some way.

I don't know if DazzerUKUK could tell us a little bit of more information about their feelings with the new album. Although he has said a lot of things.

And what is wrong with that? It sounds like there is a mixture of four to the floor stompers and slower more contemplative tracks. Very meets Behaviour.

I hope they arent redoing some of the CD. just release as is rather than pander to the 90% must be disco thunderers. PSB is what PSB is. they do some upbeat stuff with lots of beautiful midtempo and slow stuff.

leave that for the remixers who enjoy turning every track into BOOM BOOM SHAKKA BOOM.

Very meets Behaviour is ok but it seems like it was very meets Release. The problem is I don't think these songs are like "To face the thruth", "Only the wind" or "Jealousy". I want to hear balads on this album, the problem is the quality of them.

I think you are letting the guitar factor set you off nickname. the songs on release were very stripped down and plain, with guitar.

where as I think the slow songs on fundamental will be more lively and electronic and behavourish and just happen to have guitar. I think the birthday boy twenthieth century comment DazzerUKUK was talking about how it had a sort of spinning guitar type sound you hear on the begining of birthday boy, not that its a slow dirge like birthday boy. probably a fast picking park.

think of that bouncy guitar part in liberation, yet nobody would say it sounds like release.

One person who has heard the album has told me that it was the best album since Behaviour but after hearing the review of DazzerUKUK, I don't know.
