Re: New Single - Loneliness

Love the artwork (best since ‘Leaving’). Love the video. Like the music and the orchestra but I am getting b side vibes from it (specifically “Searching for the face of Jesus “ melody and “Before” vocals. The vocal is strained and grating, especially in the first two verses. I needed a banger to was...

Re: Minute Taker - Heart Cover

Minute Taker’s own work is excellent. His new album ‘Wolf Hours’ surely must be coming out soon. You should check his amazing covers of ‘The Power of Goodbye’ and’Running up that Hill.’ Fantastic. Check out his single ‘Merge’ too.

Re: I love seeing Madonna publicly state she has been influenced by PSB

When Confessions On The Dance Floor came along the PSB's influence was really evident, not only with "Jump" but the whole album. The PSB remix of "Sorry" was according to Madonna, better than the original version. And well, everyone knows "She is Madonna" or Robbie Wil...

Re: Hotspot: 1 year old today

Monkey Business, Dreamland and Will-o-the-wisp are the good ones of this album. Happy People is not bad either but it sounds a bit like a B-side. Only the Night is also a little gem. But the rest of it, it's not for me. If you only like half the album, then why are you even on this forum? What? So ...

Re: Hotspot: 1 year old today

I couldn’t agree more with Jo Stalin, above. I’m actually flabbergasted that many people think Hotspot the best of the Stuart trilogy. Electric AND Super were critically and commercially transformative and they were both played for 3 years at a time. Hotspot wasn’t played for more than a week and th...

Re: Hotspot: 1 year old today

I still have a massive problem with Hotspot and it’s simply down to ‘wedding in Berlin’. I’m guessing they thought it would be funny to include it, and those fans who aren’t in on the joke, well more fool them. Thing is... it’s trite, shite and so obviously rubbish, even if it’s supposed to be a jo...

Re: Neil and Chris and their big secret we speculate about, from time to time

"Should we refrain from talking about their private life?" In short, yes. Some people have a strangely entitled and toxic view of this issue. You have spent money and emotional support on your own, and they owe you nothing. Chris is particularly secretive, so much that he's basically unre...

Re: Robert Smith from The Cure isn't a Neil Tennant fan

Of course, there is no jealousy like a 30 year grudge. From a man who’s read Some Kafkha, misinterpreted ALL of it and has taken it far too seriously, As well as being the exact double of Elizabeth Emmanuel (but without the taste) then that’s something. :eh: To be fair, you have just exhumed a 14-y...
