Broad group, but that's all.

Re: Fundamental Instrumental leaked
This is the sound of music. It was a magnificent journey through these instrumental pieces. It proves that Fundamental is much better sonically than anything they have produced since then. And obviously I mean they album music, not many self-produced, throwaway and flat b-sides. Perhaps this is the ...

Re: It Couldn't Happen Here - April 27 th (4 K). June 15 th (DVD)
Very strange trailer. Was it some comedy movie? Some surreal thing? I have never care about becoming familiar with this production as it seemed to be completely patchy and weird in a bad way. Perhaps now I could try to fix this initial prejudice.

Re: 4th single off Hotspot - I Don't Wanna
You certainly do not have a faintest idea why I decided to write something like that to Future Lover, specificaly to him. It's related to our previous conversation, his views, and only he can judge this comment and take seriously or not (and the second option is what I hope for)

Re: Annually 2020 + Free CD
Quit yer whining. We've been very fortunate to get three bonus CDs with the four Annually releases. With fans like you, I'm not sure why Neil and Chris even bother. Life's short enough as it is - try to enjoy it for once. I didn't mention that I was unhappy with ALL THREE bonus CD that had been rel...

Re: Annually 2020 + Free CD
What an absorbing discussion... It's almost as gripping as the other Annually related thread where some of you inform other people roond-the-clock what is the status of their delivery.... And I would also say that's because of the lockdown, but it happens all the time, every year. It all started fro...

Re: Annually 2020 + Free CD
I think it's quite obvious and common that artists record music and their fan don't know about that how many songs and projects are in the drawer. Anyway, that's another set of forgettable, semi-polished sketches, something which can be appreciated only by hardcore fans like us. Didn't have high hop...

Re: 4th single off Hotspot - I Don't Wanna
New Boy is a clear disappointment for me, perhaps just because it had its own myth of being a sister/brother of Rent, written in 1984 etc. I maintain my initial opinion - flat, amateurish and cheap production, so representative for the bunch of their post-2000 b-sides. Every time I hear another exam...

Re: New Boy & I Don't Wanna Mixes Snippets
Sounds good, but again, it's hard to overcome the feeling of unfinished product All songs they produce themselves suffer from "demo syndrom". It's a pity.

Re: US TOUR
Well, there's the presumption that people are having a lack of solidarity, when the opposite is true. In the current situation it's absulutely understandable and instinctive behaviour. I also contribute to this project. But, again, I'm talking about future. Your debating point is more obvious right...

I'm just waiting for the far-right bots to attack your post. I'm honestly thinking of creating another forum which would be better moderated. There's no true neutrality on things like these, or let alone "listening to both sides" bullshit. Facts are facts, and every forum should ban dange...
