I like the song and I am glad that sometimes they cater to the chris fans who like his voice but I always find myself wondering, how much better would it have sounded had neil sung it?

you're not alone

i love this song , and as you said it's perfection.
i love the way it is arranged and it gives me the same feeling of ecstasy as when il listen to Minimal or Radiophonic for example.

there's only one way to discover that... online petition asking them to add it as an encore for the summer tour, with Neil singing it.

this + Heart of course :)

Love it the first 2 verses and the bits following them..

And Chrissy did it all himself? :D

that kind of song is chris' forte. he could write an electronic dance song like that in his head while waiting in line at the bank.by the time he gets to the window...done.

Personally I think it's one of the weakest songs they have ever recorded. The whole Nightlife era was really dire b-sidewise; only Ghost Of Myself is up to their usual standards.

Yeah, not quite up to PSB standard.

I love 'Lies' .Wish Chris would bless us with his voice more often, it's good to hear him having a go. He should do a one off Relentless style album with just him singing, and Neil doing backing vocals :-) .Would be a great production I reckon.

You're not alone dude.

I like Lies too, though I don't *love* it. I think Chris sounds a bit like David Bowie, and I'd like to hear him singing songs more often.

I'm with you here, only I don't like Ghost Of Myself either (Can't put up with the Britney/One More Time backing track)

It is one of a handful of PSB tunes that i don't like.
