I think 30+ is more than enough to form an opinion - it's a late career banger, just like Vocal was in 2013, for me at least. Giving it a strong 9.

Re: New Single - Loneliness
It’s just been made BBC Radio 2’s Record of the Week. In YouTube comments, an Erasure fan wrote that the new single (I forgot the song's name) was way better than Loneliness but BBC 2 would probably still choose Loneliness as the Record of the Week but he hoped that BBC2 would come to their senses ...

Re: New Single - Loneliness
Watched the video again today, after familiarizing myself with the song quite a lot (30+ plays since it came out, I'd say). Everything just clicked for me - beautiful, funny, poignant in places, HORNS! I say it's their best opening single for a long, long time, since Love Etc. probably - explanation...

Re: New Single - Loneliness
The chorus is melancholy meets euphoria as only PSB can do it - beautiful.
The verses do not blow me away, but all in all a good way to announce the album. Loving the visuals (artwork) and the video is interesting as well, even though maybe a bit oversexed for the sake of it.

Re: New Single - Loneliness
By that logic they are also copying numerous other artists that have Nonetheless as the album title, especially American trash metal band Hammerhedd.richwill wrote: ↑Wed 31 Jan 2024, 11:09 am Pet Shop Boys are now copying Momus.

Re: New Single - name not yet announced
Tried with a NZ VPN but no luck finding anything on either iTunes or Spotify. Guess it's off to sleep and listening to Radio 2 at work tomorrow.

Re: Piano Room Month - 2024
Usually the artist plays the new/latest single, an older one and a cover is mandatory as the third track - Depeche Mode did Ghosts Again (new at the time), Walking In My Shoes (one of their best suited one for orchestra) and Sundown (a cover).
So.. I guess it's happeniiiing, new album, new era!

Re: Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live At The Royal Arena Copenhagen
I don't like very much the trailer of the dreamworld cinema show, i don't see why they insist on copenhaguen, it's a worldwide show. The music snippets and the view are not great. They could have made a much better trailer. True, comparing this and my actual concert experience is day and night - th...

Re: Any news on James Ford album?
Haven't been paying that much attention to the official page lately, so I don't know when it happened - but has the main logo font (the one in the upper left corner) changed recently? Might be an indicator of the upcoming visuals / artwork.

Re: Re-releasing old singles?
It's Alright extended, How can you expect to be taken seriously? perfect attitude 12 inch, So Hard David Morales mixes, there's plenty of stuff they could remaster and release as a digital single bundle.

Re: Unity Tour Spoilers & Reviews
Still no setlist for this? It's probably a shortened Dreamworld setlist, but would be nice to know what they left out. At the time of this post, it's 15:24 in Toronto (5 hours behind UK). Therefore the opening concert of the tour has yet to start - so definitely no setlist yet! Hahahah sorry, in my...

Re: Getting ready for Budapest?
Amazing concert, only my second PSB gig I've been to (took my baby brother with me, he gave it 11/10 even though he isn't a big fan). My absolute favourite part is when Devices.. comes full on, after the long intro which allows for Neil to get changed + the ticket was worth for Anymore.. and It's Al...

Re: Erasure
The Violet Flame is the only excellent album since the self-titled LP from 1995. The rest are borderline mediocre to properly cringe as a whole, but there have easily been 15-20 very good songs in the mix since.
