Could someone be kind enough to PM me the album? Thanks so much in advance!

Sorry Loki,

only 5 posts... Thats not enough for thinking, you are a reliable Pethead.
That's maybe the reason, why nobody would reply!

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.

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 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.

I sort of get the same feeling from the Erasure forum funnily enough. Don't you find that? 'Non-fans' in particular.

Yeah,

There is a lot more to this song than the sample we got. It has a lot more depth and changes in tempo and style.

It was in my head all day; shower, bus, university, cinema, date...

Minutes ago I listened it again and now I think it's even better.
I feel sad about those who don't like it... YET.
Believe in TIME.

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.

(Oh and Chris, you have a phone call from a Mr Hook. He wants his bass guitar back)

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.

if it is a single... hope they give the clip a suitable political theme

"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...)

I think that Minimal is better than Integral

Posted: **Fri 28 Apr 2006, 9:20 am**

so it may be, but Integral is more single material than Minimal.

I would like to hear it, too...
