...........and I bought "Psychological".
It's a 1-sided promo, only info is the title, and in tiny letters "PSB002"
I bought 4 copies if anyone is interested........

Right, just listened to it, here's my review:
It sounds much like the old-style extended mixes PSB used to do of their own tracks, you keep thinking Neil is about to start singing/talking but sadly he never does...
It's a bit Jarre-ish, and also the background effects remind me of FGTH's Pleasuredome. There's 2 great PSB moments, at 2:24 the drums drop out for just 10 seconds as a new riff comes in, and at 3:00 a West End girls-style chord sequence starts.
I think the main aim of this track is to whet the appetite for the forthcoming album, and on this ground, it succeeds perfectly.

Just collected mine today. I agree with you stussyboy it is a bit Jarre-ish, but also a bit like Kraftwerk - which is not a bad thing!
The guy in the shop said that they had completely sold-out...they decided to limit everyone to two copies....so expect a few on e-bay soon I guess!!

I'm guessing 1000 but hopefully there will be some PR's floating around soon but until then we won't know much more.

well I assume it's just the hardcore fans who ran to buy it... don't expect too much enthusiasm from others...

No. Read the forum rules. We don't allow the public posting of illegal file links as we really don't want Parlophone shutting us down.

Why can't people wait for the actual release and buy the single instead of pre-downloading illegal mp3s which won't help PSB's chart position?

I think most of the people who want to download the track here will buy the album anyway.
