I'd like to hear remixes of Numb in the style of the Rent mixes. They were great and similarly a slow song.

Great shout. Some folk on here think you can only remix a fast song..

Kool. Great news 2 b-sides and a promising video but I'm not keen on October 16th I would have preferred the original/rumoured date of the 2nd. Hopefully Ring Road will be added to a format as well.

They shouldn't let anyone remix any of the songs.

Not really. Half the people who were watching would have watched in pubs and clubs and gone out to beat people up by the time BBC ended. Also, a lot of people would have turned the t.v off anyway!

I don't think they're going to release the demo.

Someone posted on Popjustice that the video has leaked. Does anybody know where?

Why do I get the sinking feeling that the Party Song "bonus" track is going to be furtively slipped on to the infernal DVD while Bright Young Things will be tacked on to Trevor's ostentatiously butchered Numb?

Let's hope they go back to the old-style German maxi single with Numb and the two b-sides on one disc. It's already irritating that tracks are being spread around less accessible formats (Psychological to the 12") without the b-sides taking up residence on a DVD single that 1) nobody wants to stock, and 2) nobody can play on a CD player.

Drico.

Think the version that leaked is near enough the finished version to be honest.

It's almost as if they want people to stop buying their records.

Pet Shop Girl wrote:The next PSB single will be "Numb", released on October 16 in an edit with new production by Trevor Horn. Bonus tracks will be "Party song" and "Bright young things", the former produced by Pet Shop Boys and the latter by Pet Shop Boys and Chris Zippel. A new dance mix of "Psychological" by Ewan Pearson will also be included on a limited edition 12" vinyl release. Full format details will be here when we have them.

The video for "Numb" (edited to the original album version) has recently been completed and is described by the directors as "an icy emotional landscape of borrowed dreams, sewn together with the power and style of Russian constructivist cinema".

From the official site, the video will also be shown later on on the site.

Numb is a wonderful ballad and a good single after two po-dance singles. I hope that is will have a better luck thatn Minimal in the charts. BYT is a good b-side, we'll see what Trevor has made with Party Song (a good work?). I hope in some good remixes, the last weren't so good like the last, above all the Nightlife or Very RMX.

Better Drico:

both 'B' tracks will be on that f*cking DVD....

retrofuturist · #59 Post by **retrofuturist** » Tue 05 Sep 2006, 11:50 pm

Along similar lines... would it be totally unreasonable if any tracks put on the DVD were also included somewhere on the disc as top-quality 320Kbs MP3 files?

patrick · #60 Post by **patrick** » Wed 06 Sep 2006, 12:00 am

Perhaps. But why would they start being reasonable now?
