This title have actually been around for some time, and i read a sample on my Kindle a while ago.
Utter dross
Overtly queercentric, pretetious an pseudo-academic.
Not worth the money

Re: Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live At The Royal Arena Copenhagen
Odeon Oslo tonight:
About 1/2 full
The sound was crisp and clear, at a decent volume and full surround.
The bass was a bit flat, but arent all PSB concert films, to be honest!
It looked lovely

Re: New Single - Loneliness
My thoughts: Loneliness A grower. Wonderful to have the orchestra back, though it maybe is a tad on the cheesy side :) Not too fond of the production of Neil voice. Muddy. Party in the Blitz This is actually a blues track - a first for PSB! Strong lyrics, cool vibe Poor drum programming (intentional...

Re: Somewhere
The finished single version is, in every aspect, overproduced. Trouser Enthusiast was hired to remix the track at the last minute, and one can easily blame him for much of this. He added a lot off percussive elements, including a new bass line, and theese elements sort of worked against the (marvelo...

Re: Can You Forgive Her? PSB Synths.
Around 1991-1994 Chris was very fond of the Roland JD-800 keybaord synth and the Roland MKS-80 module synth. As Marcus says, you cab make this sweep effect on any synth with a resonant filter, but theese instrument are known for their beautiful and expressive filters. Other examples of the same effe...

Re: NEW West End Girls 2x12" (Nov 2020)
Parlophone can’t release anything from Behaviour and onwards, without Neil and Chris’s consent, since they own all the rights. This is not true. Neil and Chris have full ownership of their own materialall the way since they signed with Parlophone - also before they founded PSBP. (Say what you will ...

The original one yes. Chris wrote the middle eight on the album version, hence a credit there

Re: Bring him back - I know who I want to produce the next album
The Boys are constantly about the here and now. So would have to be someone current. David Jackson probably bit too inexperienced at 17 (bright future though) so would say Artbat, Mella Dee or Neil’s mate Kolsch. Though have you seen that doing the rounds where Cheeky Pete says he’d be up for doing...

Norway: a pretty lacklustre #39
(Electric was #1)
On the plus side, their fortcoming Oslo show sold out all 6000 tickets in a just a couple of hours

The reviewer seems to like Wedding in Berlin a lot, by the way.

Re: Hotspot reviews
Really lovely review. I’d say Hoping For A Miracle is more King’s Cross than Funny Uncle though. King's Cross is arguably the best ballad of the PSB career. I wish this song was as good as King's Cross. King’s Cross is an utterly magnificent song, but not a ballad. You're joking, right? No? :lol:

Re: Decide (Burning the Heather b-side)
Could easily be one of the HIGHLIGHTS of Electric! One of their best B-sides ever, in my opinionstopthecar wrote: ↑Fri 13 Dec 2019, 8:03 am Bought the tracks this morning.
Listened to Decide on full blast in my car on the way to work.
Wow. Blown away by it.
Another b side that could be on an album.
Could easily be on Electric.

Re: Burning the heather
My guess. A second verse and chorus. Then the bridge will end up in it's "normal" place, after the second chorus....Sandy Shaw wrote: ↑Sat 23 Nov 2019, 8:47 pm I'm wondering whether the album version will just have a longer intro and/or outro and no additional lyrics at all!
