Quite simply exquisite.
When I heard the sample I was pretty hooked (I love the little elf...) tho' I did have to get over the fact that when Neil sings 'Minimal' at the end of each chorus, it sounded like him singin 'I'm depressed by you' off Screaming.
But when I got the whole track. Oh My F***in G*D.
It should definitely be the 2nd single: it has a perfection about it, it will sound fantastic in a proper club, a music-lover's club.
It's instantly in my PSB top 10, now leave me alone, I need to go listen to it another ten times.

Strangely enough that's the worst part of an otherwise flawless, beautiful and stylish little ditty.Chrispsb wrote:The end is indeed NOish and I love that, to be honest..
I think that my living room is too cluttered to really enjoy the full benefit of the song. Maybe I should get up and throw a few chairs across the room.

I sort of get the same feeling from the Erasure forum funnily enough. Don't you find that? 'Non-fans' in particular.pulse wrote:
I don't understand how some fans can think other fans' opinions don't matter. I've liked this band since 1985, and although it's not my favourite band, I don't think any fan's opinion deserves to be called weird, regardless of how much or how long you've liked them... let alone having them be called "non-fans" or "losers". Show some respect, dude.

It is very Kraftwerk, both in harmonies and lyrics. But with a distinct PSB beat to it. Still think Integral should be the next single though.

I think that the end is the highlight of the song, honestly. It just sounds great when the orchestra's coming in. I think it could be a good single, hopefully the second followed by Integral. Yet, Minmal is my favourite song.Syncratic wrote:Strangely enough that's the worst part of an otherwise flawless, beautiful and stylish little ditty.Chrispsb wrote:The end is indeed NOish and I love that, to be honest..

"Integral", "Minimal": WE ARE SPOILT, GUYS !
Musically speaking, "Minimal" is the "sound" I've been expecting from PSB for 2-3 years. But , to meet a wider audience, I do think that "Integral" should be the next single, and quickly...
(maybe a new mix slightly less 1994... but slightly...)
