#1 Post by RexMundi »

Maybe I'm old fashioned and possess bugger-all sense of rhythm, but since the late 90's, I've grown weary and less enthusiastic about Pet Shop Boys remixes. Before I moved to the United States and away from decent music stores, I would eagerly await the new single release and pick up every format, but I miss the days of the plain simple "extended versions" - It's a Sin and Where the Streets... being some great examples.

Thats my two cents worth.

IF they release such a thing, then please complete including ALL the mixes, promo only versions, lots of demos... Further Listening was totally inconsequent.

Well put, the Further Listening cd should've been an mp3 disc with a track listing at least 30 times as long as the one they eventually ended up with

A lot of us here miss the days of the classic extended "disco" mixes...(Pettibone, Mendelsohn, Kevorkian, Hague...sadly this times are gone, but time to time we can expect some surprise...;) )

Nonono, no compromises on this. Can't stand the availability of only 128 kbps on iTunes store. I want proper CD quality.

I think their own remix of I'm with stupid is crap! Extended versions are great but don't go on about bringing old remixers back!

Keep using new, fresh talent!!!

Exactly :up:! and probably the extended Miracles and Tomcraft's Flamboyant, altought I think it´s a un-inspired extended version...a missed opportunity for a masterpiece...

Shame we're not getting a 7-minute Numb extended mix... that would have been nice.

I was listening to the 12" of Jealousy the other day... no dance floor potential whatsoever, but it didn't matter..... it was extended and released on CD and vinyl. Wonderful. :)
