AI channel on YT

I found this on YT https://www.youtube.com/@PSBAIMUSIC
Somebody doing AI versions... supposed to sound like PSB or at least Neil singing. I've listened to a handful of songs. They sound like demoes and weak demoes as well. I compared with a Queen AI channel which was way ahead of this PSB AI channel.

Re: Which SMASH single was the most "forgettable"?


To be honest, the songs listed here are on the whole songs I like listening to (Say it to me is a BANGER). I guess I don't wanna is a bit of a weak finale to the compilation.

But if I could remove one song from Smash, it would be It doesn't often snow at Christmas... I really don't want a ...

Re: What’s truly “missing” from the Further Listening discs?


Greetings,


This is why Spotify/Apple music sucks and physical media is still the way to go.

I feel bad for newer PSB fans who have to search out these tracks now. It seemed like just standard stuff back in the day. I never thought for a moment that so many tracks would become so hard to find ...

The Bilingual tracks would have been included if the remit hadn't been just one extra disc.

I feel part of me is PSB. I've listened to them enough that the music embodies my personality and vice versa.
Listening to PSB reminds me of who I am.
If someone were to recreate me from scratch, PSB would be a big part of it.
That sounds spooky.

Re: Sleep of Reason - Mark Springer/Neil Tennant/Sacconi String Quartet


Greetings,


I'm so happy that PSB, my favourite band since I was a small child, stands on the right side of history.

It's very dangerous (and effective!) to be convinced that you're automatically "on the right side of history". It can lead to never challenging or questioning your own ...
