Although to me it doesn't feel as long as it obviously has been, I've clearly been on the rollercoaster a long, long time. I don't think PSB really put a foot wrong prior to and including 'Behaviour'. 'Behaviour' marked the peak for me. It was grown up electronic music and as I have said before, it...

I always remember this NME review of Nightlife, which makes the valid point that everyone who's great goes crap in the end: https://www.nme.com/reviews/reviews-nme-1453-337858 Ouch..that was a bitchy review :o but isn't this a syndrome that almost every band/solo act has faced, esp for a career spa...

I think Electric was a great album and reinvention and rest of trilogy ended up having diminishing returns, though there was a lot of variety and some sounds they never attempted before, but is there ever escaping the PSB template sound, no matter the producer?!

I was so upset this stalled at #4, I think it was deserving of #1 1 SHOW ME HEAVEN MARIA MCKEE 2 I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU LONDONBEAT 3 BLUE VELVET BOBBY VINTON look at all these dire one hit wonders which C**k Blocked our beloved PSB :grumble: (Londonbeat was not bad..though) https://www.officia...

if the Disco Version of Heart was part of Actually, it would have been near perfection and a close call..but Introspective it is for me! It's an album I learnt to love, Left to my own devices, I'm not Scared, Domino were immediate and I was seriously scratching my head on I want a Dog at first and I...

Sorry but why pit any track against the almighty Left to my own devices! It is the essence of Pet Shop Boys in one song

i wouldn't normally do this kind of thing

WOW ! am so thrilled and proud as a fan :mrgreen: Human League's Dont you want me sounds soo good even today! but i always felt it needed another verse? donno why.. I agree - I am well chuffed about it too Shopper. :D For some reason I have never been keen on Human League's Don't you want me. Then ...

WOW ! am so thrilled and proud as a fan :mrgreen: I think over time, I got a little bored of this, but it truly is their most iconic song. The intro, the melody, the vocals..just sublime and their new lockdown version has such a cool oomph to it. Human League's Dont you want me sounds soo good even ...

My head is spinning is one of the best tracks produced ever! and should be my theme song, since I have a recent bout of low blood pressure :p

PSB and other synth pop bands should join forces to put our a charity single

cochella is postponed! madonna had to cancel some shows...2020 Japan olympics in jeopardy... This is completely surreal, the effects.
