That's how I've been feeling since Elysium, to be fair.

Re: James Ford

Greetings,

I'm reserving judgement until we hear the "demo album". What I can say is that I appreciate what James Ford did to make A New Bohemia sound so smooth. The demo is good and you could see where they were going, but James Ford really polished it off beautifully.

Re: New Order Australia 2025

Greetings, That's the only way I could be persuaded to go. I'm not really one for concerts in general. I love New Order and I saw them around the release of Get Ready but the current line-up playing the same old songs doesn't interest me much (despite still buying any live albums they happen to put ...

Re: Private Messages

Greetings,

Outbox just means it hasn't been picked up yet. Not having been picked up yet, (I assume) you're free to edit it or delete it. You can't do these things once they've read it.

Re: The Sixth single

Greetings, I thought the 4th and 5th singles were overkill, so with a 2 CD single set and a Deluxe version of Nonetheless forthcoming, the odds on a 6th single have to be pretty remote. But if there is, I'd like "Why Am I Dancing?" for no reason other than being my favourite song from the ...

Re: Further listening 2013-2024

Greetings, They tend to avoid any repetition on the Further Listening discs, and don’t tend to include shorter versions of tracks that can be included in a longer form. Of course given the slim pickings likely to be available for Electric, normal rules may not apply. I hear you, but I think we need ...

Re: Further listening 2013-2024

Greetings, I think they’d have to be slightly desperate to add the radio edits but maybe that will be the case. I don’t think they contain anything that’s not in the full length versions, do they? If you think of them as "single versions" rather than "radio edits", there's defini...

Re: Further listening 2013-2024

Greetings, Electric has "radio edits" worthy of inclusion. Another thing to consider is when you draw the line between Hotspot and Nonetheless, keeping in mind that it's when a track was recorded, rather than when it was released, which is the consideration for FL releases... so where you ...

Re: The fifth single

Greetings, All the young dudes is a neat pair with New London boy given Neil has cited Bowie as a major influence on both the song and his life in the early seventies when he arrived in the capital. Yes, it's a sensible and meaningful pairing. New London Boy the "most likely" viable single...

Re: The fifth single

Greetings, "Why Am I Dancing?" is my favourite song from the album, but I do feel that releasing it would be about as pointless as releasing Feel, which was a bit of a "nothing single" in my mind. It's also the "nothing in my letterbox" single at the moment too. :roll: ...
