Re: Best British group. Radio 2 vote.

Greetings,

No Carter USM there, so I'm not voting. :lol:

I'm not surprised they're absent from the list, but I am surprised the list is so short as to exclude Suede and Joy Division.

Re: Comprehensive reissue campaign

Greetings, As for New Order, I got all the 2CD "collectors edition" reissues when they came out 10-15 years ago or whenever it was. That was enough for me, I think. In the rare event there's something previously unreleased that's worth listening to more than once, I'd probably cherry pick ...

Re: Nonetheless Expanded Edition

Greetings, It feels like this draws the Nonetheless era to a close. It’s interesting that this is different to a “Further Listening” style release - it would have been easy to compile all the b-sides - quite likely therefore that they are saving that for another day. On account of the timing, it rem...

Re: What d'you think will be the apex of PSB collectibles value?

Greetings, I also sell and buy CDs online, and there is certainly a demand for some titles, but TBH how many did you sell for more than the (original) retail price of €20 (not even taking inflation into account)? That would be revenues from an investment. Not many when compared to original market pr...

Re: What d'you think will be the apex of PSB collectibles value?

Greetings, Do you think there will be a point where PSB collectibles start drastically losing value? A market for collectibles requires (1) interest in the items, from (2) people who can afford to buy them. I think it will be a while yet before the fans start falling off the perch en masse. Now CDs ...

Re: Bronski Beat - Why? (Superchumbo remix ft. Neil Tennant)

Greetings, Huh? That makes no sense. Yes it does. If you're an "indie" person, and you think of "indie dance" you'll think of indie acts who have a dance flavour about them, but it's still indie music, and therefore a sub-genre of indie. If you're a "dance" person, and ...

Because it comes at it from the dance music side, rather than the indie side.

Re: New Single 'Feel'

Greetings, I've had a chance to listen to the tracks... Feel (radio edit) - I couldn't quite work out what had been edited out on first listen, but it didn't really seem to matter much. Everybody Will Dance - A good song with some nice musical homages to the early '90s, utterly ruined by Neil's voca...

Re: New Single 'Feel'

Greetings, I see they decided to release their (unintended?) homage to the Soundblaster Pro sound card as a single, rather than leave it as an album track. I'm not altogether convinced it's a good choice, but it's a great excuse to release and receive some bonus tracks, so I'll take it for what it i...

It poses some interesting questions. How long will it be until people on this forum are sharing their own AI-created "Pet Shop Boys albums" with one another?
