Of course Electronic is a masterpiece, but I also love both Raise the pressure and Twisted tenderness. Forbidden city, If you've got love, Time will tell, Vivid, TT, When she's gone, so many fantastic songs. I recently found a copy of Raise the pressure on vinyl and was over the moon. Then my bag wa...

Love:

Home & dry
Leaving
We came from outer space

Hate:

Everything means something
Ego music
Party song

Quintessential:

West End girls
Being boring
Go West

I haven't received my copy in The Netherlands either, but I'm still hoping it will show up. Never had problems with the official store in the past. I'm not sure the PSB are entirely at fault here. I sell records through Discogs and send them to various countries, and they can take forever to arrive.

I'd like them to do a new Electronic album ^+^

Great read. He seems like a really, really nice guy. Kind of agree with him on Yesterday when I was mad.

It's without a doubt the best Pet Shop Boys lyric ever.

I love it! That long coat looks so great on Chris.
Anyone else catch the How can you expect to be taken seriously-reference at 0:23?

So when do we think the 'new old reissues' are due? I'd love to get my hands on a Bilingual LP.

Thanks!

Here's another thing I've noticed: in Night Song on the Further Listening CD, Neil does the spoken bit ("It doesn't matter if we fly" etc.) in a Northern (?) accent. In the version that was available as download to the fan club members he did it 'as himself' (which I prefer).

Could someone share a photo of these fabled HMV-prints for us unlucky non-British petheads? Thanks!

Probably not allowed to post the link, but In Slow Motion has turned up on SoundCloud. It's very dreamy and electronic, a bit menacing almost. It sounds very finished and it's really quite good.
