Re: Mysterious tweet

I just find it incongruous (ask an adult to help you look it up) to rail against authoritarianism and then sign up for a platform where the Chinese government harvest users’ data. Exactly. Chinese hegemony is somehow cute and non-threating to many westerners on the nominal left. There's no need to ...

That’s a shame, I’d have expected better.

Re: Mysterious tweet

I saw one of the Did you see me coming? singles and maybe Together. A complete Parly singles set may be possible.

Re: "Before" remixers confusion....

Maybe this was discussed/mentioned before, but if that´s the case, I missed the conversation! Trying to make some order on my digital collection, and deleting duplicates, I found that many mixes of "Before", like the: Extended mix 8:47 Hed Boy mix 7:35 Hed Boys dub 4:55 ..are credited as ...

Re: Lost

Using the completion dates from Neil’s Literally diary to put them in chronological order, a Super “Further Listening” style playlist including the new Lost tracks would look something like this: 1. One-hit wonder 2. The dead can dance 3. A cloud in a box 4. The white dress 5. Kaputnik 6. Wierderse...

Wow wasn't expecting that. It's been a good few years since they released a digital-only track. We're all criminals now I think, or the Brits medley...

Re: New Album!

A while back they said they had written, so far, two albums worth of material. As we’ve seen in the past, when they make a statement like this they don’t just mean 20 or 24 songs, but rather enough high quality material that could comprise two actual releasable albums. After such a long interval I ...

Re: New Album!

I'm hoping we'll get the album no later than January and - as with Hotspot - two singles at the end of this year. Two albums in a row after a four year gap is too long by their standards (that is an album after four years followed by another album four years later)

Re: Was it worth it?

I bet if Was it worth it? was released today everyone would think it the best thing in years. It's all relative to the quality we expect from a given time period.

There's also a pepper and a jar of moisturiser but maybe we shouldn't read too much into that.

Re: How Come "Relentless" is so good?!?

Hello 2005, I thought you were a new thread, as usual. Scary that this is older by a few months than I've been registered on this forum. I think Neil has always liked the idea that Relentless had a limited edition, hard to find quality. Of course in these days of eBay, Amazon, YouTube etc. it's lost...
