I know yesterday (13th March) was the first time a new PSB track had been played in ages, but (as per the long standing forum rules) in future all public requests for copies of any new track, PSB or otherwise, will be deleted and/or threads containing requests closed. We will officially...
- Two remixes have been done, according to their remix consultant in Mixmag

Greetings,
Seems far too late for a Hotspot single. Maybe something in conjunction with the often rumoured Di5co?
We could theoretically see something which is both.
Remember how Integral was both the 4th single from Fundamental and the first single from Disco 4?
Your family has Scottish roots,Neil.Can we claim you?. My brother and my cousin have been doing our family tree. We can get back to the 17thc. in Stirling.Actually,I applied to Stirling University but I didn’t get a place

Hotspot delivery arrived this morning and my signed prints suffered significant damage in-transit. :(
Looks like the parcel took a knock to the corner and it's not particularly strong packaging.

I would complain Oznerol. :)
I did. They say that a replacement was sent yesterday. Let´s see if it arrives in a better shape! Still surprised that they have spare copies at this point... (and I will do the effort to not be skeptical about the legitimacy of the signatures... :-| )
Going to see this on Thursday... a question for those that have already been. I see it’s a 7pm start time, and it’s billed as lasting for an hour... Is it reasonable to expect it’ll all be over by 8pm? I need to dash for a train.
Last years one I went to in London started on time and finished on...
Since 2011 BBC4 has been airing Top of the Pops episodes, in chronological order from 1976 onwards. This week the episode originally aired on 08 August 1985 will be shown, which means PSB'S first appearence from November 1985 is just around the corner, and from that point they will be making...

Non-PSB but Anthea Turner is hilariously, atrociously bad in these.
Haha she does seem to struggle reading from the autocue. Just watched last nights episodes, there’s definitely a PSB influence going on with Kon Kan. I beg your pardon, sounds a bit dated, but I loved it at the time, So got a bit...
As you might know I do not consider the imperial phase ended with the release of Domino Dancing but with the release of Paninaro '95. I have now reconsidered and put the end at the release of Yesterday, when I was mad - an egocentric song, pointless beyond the hardcore fanbase.
But could the imperial phase have been...

It would be great to see people’s suggestions of Acts that have had an Imperial Phase since the Charts began. Putting the time period, and also taking into account if it’s a U.K. US, or World Imperial Phase.
And crucially an imperial phase should reflect the pop culture of the particular epoch in...

Pete Gleadall posted an Insta-story yesterday, that they are working on the tour music. I guess they (nearly) completed their setlist. ;)
I can't remember if the Boys ever said something about this, but I was just wondering why in the Elysium deluxe edition released in 2017, the Further Listening CD is missing the following tracks:
-A Certain Je Ne Sais Quoi
-One Night
-The Way Through The Woods
Ok, maybe the short version of...

More specifically it's when they BEGAN work on them. Most of these tracks end up being finished around the time of original release.
I don't remember it that way, I'm pretty sure Neil said that songs are included according to when they were recorded like Harry wrote. Are you sure about it...
On Hotspot - Happy People and obviously the Wedding song. The bells sound really haunting to me. Do they really sound like this or do you think PSB's have done something to the sound of them? They sound like they are being played backwards to me. :?

Best album since ‘Very’ is ,in my humble opinion, ‘Electric’ - by quite some distance.
That's the great thing about the PSB. We all have different opinions on which we think are the best and worst songs and albums, but in the end the one fact we all agree on is the PSB are awesome and we are all...
:D Blade who has made several unofficial remixes over the years of Pet Shop Boys tracks has now remixed all of the Hotspot album and he has done a mighty fine job.
He has uploaded the remixed album on Soundcloud, where you can stream the album.
Personally I think this is his best work to date....

I admire anyone who can do that, but these aren’t for me. Just a bit... meh.
I am hugely disappointed by Hotspot. As somebody else pointed out on this forum N & C yet again fail to put the adequate tracks on an album, filling it with b-side material. And the lyrics are really sub-par. Perhaps it's because there is no record company saying 'no' anymore.
Anyway, I decided to...

Gee was going indie such a good thing?
Commercially yes.
Creatively yes . . . I guess, the new materal from the past few years is certainly unique.
Quality of content when compared to the previous few decades? Very questionable. Many would say no and I tend to agree with the no. Though I think...
Am I mistaken in thinking I'm hearing a slowed down version of the synth sound from Did You See Me Coming remix?

I would like the next one to have more heavier electronic songs like Wilo the wisp, integral,positive role model etc etc. maybe even cyberpunk industrial style.
We have never listened to this song and it was the most popular of Neil's group called Dust .
Do you know some more info about this song?. It's strange because we've never listened how this group Dust sounded and the song looked like it was particuarly good..

Wow, haven't seen this pettext. This music must be released to the public somehow. This also means Neil's career spans another ten years. Neil was 17 at the time. Imagine him being the leader of a folk ban in the 70's before reinventing himself as a pop/disco singer in the '80s, a gay icon in the...

I traveled to London to see the run there in 2011. I hardly recall it. Not bad, just not my thing; and definitely not a pet shop boys show.
A music fan has been reunited with a cassette tape she lost while on holiday 25 years ago after it washed up on a beach hundreds of miles away.
Stella Wedell was 12 when she took the tape on a Spanish holiday to listen to songs by the likes of Pet Shop Boys, Shaggy and Bob Marley on her Walkman....

I think that's the kind of thing that would bother Paul even with as much success as he's had. that this young girl at the time decided he was only 1 of 2 artists that didn't make the cut for the mixtape. if you noticed the discrepancy, other people will put it out there for Paul to enjoy this...

Looks like they changed official online retailer for Official store.
Now I can't log in with my e-mail. It says there is no such user. I guess it means everybody needs to re-register in online store. Or it's only my problem?

I think main idea will be that users with UK IP will direct to old store and the rest to the new one.
And I hope the new store is just under construction and will have more items and shipping options soon.
Now I have only option with shipping cost 30 Euro to outside EU :(
Does anyone know why the PSB or their team chose to put bird sounds at the beginning of the track?
The end of Will O Wisp (Last 15 seconds) feels a little tacked on just to blend in better with You Are The One. Personally I feel that last 15 seconds was not needed, and the bird sounds would have...

How did it get distributed please? CD or digital file? Either presumably watermarked?
Digital streaming and/or 320 kbps MP3 file... and yes, the files are watermarked.

As the BFI screening, preceded by an on-stage Q&A with Neil Tennant, Jack Bond and choreographer Arlene Phillips will take place on 3rd April 2020, it lets plenty of time to include it as an extra on the DVD/BR release.
Hi.
I don't know him, and I don't know anything about production but I heard some of the mixes he has done with PSB songs, and I think he could be a great producer and video maker for them.
What do you think about that?
If you are a PSB harcore fan, I think you should watch this movie (with subtitles in Spanish for Spanish speakers). It's easy to see the influence in all of it, except the music. The place where the suburbs met utopia, let's take a ride a run with the dogs tonigh in Suburbia:

They clearly believe their posts to be of higher value than the rest of us...
At Rock Bottom (the last PSB B-Side) has a lot of musical references to Kariya Let Me Love You For Tonight .
It can't be only a coincidence, and to be honest I thought they credited Kariya song's authors for their song.
