Just got to listen to the B-sides right now.

I strongly feel that Nonetheless should be re-pressed with this version of the Schlager Hit Parade.

Im so glad Feel is the 4th single. Probably my favourite song on the album. I think the edit/intro could have had the chorus line to start it off. Also would have been great if they had remixed /reworked it slightly from the album version. Also I was hoping for some Remixes for this single. May see some remixes hopefully in the future

Not really a fan of Schlagar thiugh.

You could build a stunning album out of the Nonetheless era b-sides alone.

Anyone else beguiled by the line, "I'm just a figment of my own imagination every night”?

THE PLAYLIST WITH THE SONGS IS OUT ON THEIR YOUTUBE !!

Delete this!

A good choice for a single and the radio edit is fine, I like the B-Side "Everybody Will Dance" and the Chris version of Schlager is cool, the remix of "Loneliness" is awful as is the Superchumbo remix of "Everybody Will Dance", come on boys lets have some of those PSB extended mixes....

Perhaps the next Disco album features 12 inch mixes of songs off "Nonetheless"

They've got beautiful orchestral sounds, could readily spin these songs out with instrumental bits like the Years To Leave extended version.

Greetings,

I've had a chance to listen to the tracks...

Feel (radio edit) - I couldn't quite work out what had been edited out on first listen, but it didn't really seem to matter much.

Everybody Will Dance - A good song with some nice musical homages to the early '90s, utterly ruined by Neil's vocals in the chorus, which would have been better given to someone of the ilk of Sylvia Mason-James.

Schlager (German Chris) - Interesting to hear, but once will do, thanks. The album version is much better.

Loneliness (Floorplan Remix) - I like the piano, but otherwise it feels like it was lazily slapped together in an hour or so. The song deserves better than this, from the solitary remix that it's been granted.

Everybody Will Dance (Superchumbo Remix) - Fair play to Superchumbo... he's really upped his game in recent times. I used to find his mixes to be a snoozefest, but he's pulling out some bangers nowadays. Neil's chorus still grates though - I wish he'd left it on the proverbial cutting room floor.

Retro.

feel, is only the 3rd single without a remix

(not including edits, radio edits) ...

i think:
---------
i get along
numb
burning the heather

all had the same type of single, mostly b-sides,
or a b-side remix.

probably too late for it now...

but for remix single, or set, that would have been nice to have.

The now somewhat mythical Disco 5 could possibly feature a PSB remix of Feel among other remixes...

It seems like there is a Floorplan instrumental of lonleliness - at least according to that not so clean dj site
I'm having issues playing it though, so maybe not legit

Suits the song very well. Love Neil's bemused expression.
