Re: It's alright (extended mix), what's the matter?

Just had a listen to the extended mix of It's Alright. The Trevor Horn remix that is, not the Julian extended dance mix. It's 8:45 long and to me unfortunately proves that not all extended mixes from the 80's were good. The 7'' mix of It's Alright is such an improvement from the album version, at l...

Re: Your Instant Classics

According to you criteria, here are those songs that have been thrilling for me from day one, and that I would put in the instant classics list:
- I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing
- Being boring
- Left to my own devices
- Here
- Inside a dream

Oversexualized video?
Please take a moment to watch the Troye Sivan "Rush" music video, just to get an update on what you can get nowadays.
The Loneliness video looks quite tame in comparison...

Re: New Single - Loneliness

Is the single cover for Loneliness a nod to The Muppet Show ? The red curtains and the recurring references of the Boys to this show have me wondering about this... Are there refereces to the Muppets in PSB records? I never noticed them. I don't know if there are any in the records, but there have ...

+1 to that!

Re: Lead singles ranked

Axis to me is the lead single of Electric (the single that announced the album). Same for West End girls, Opportunities being the lost Parlophone single prior to any plan for Please to be released. 1. West End girls 2. Can you forgive her? 3. I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more 4...

Re: Why don't they produce their own albums?

Yes, but that would have been a 100% Pet Shop Boys track. As it is on Electric, I wonder how much of the PSB is in the final mix. One could argue that it is more a Stuart Price track than a PSB track.

Re: Most overrated PSB song

Deamland surely is overrated.
By PSB themselves at least ("A very good record" says Neil, "It's always great when you know that you've got a fantastic record up your sleeve" says Chris).
Average at best.

Re: Most underrated PSB songs ?

Later tonight
Boy strange
I get along
Friendly fire
No time for tears
Twentieth century
Give it a go

I have a song in mind for the next topic about overrated PSB songs...
But I don't think anyone will dare create such a topic. Too controversial.
