Re: Celebrating Very Relentless - New Relentless release

I don't mind the pixel images or the black background, but whyyyyy is the type so large? I do like the typeface etc, but I would have preferred the text (both on the front and the back) to be much smaller – especially on the LP! It sometimes feels like they design for "digital" these days ...

Re: VERY & VERY RELENTLESS: 30 YEARS YOUNG

I loved Behaviour, and still do, but I also loved the change that Very provided, even though Behaviour is higher on my list the impact and contrast delivered byt Very was amazing. So refreshing. Some of the tracks are fantastic, some are maybe a bit too simple, but the album as a whole is so energet...

Ah, that could be interesting! I love Röyksopp's collaborations with Susanne Sundfør, for example.

Re: Nightlife - time for reappraisal?

I wish they would have kept New York city boy all-disco/70s (as the long Morales mix) instead of adding 90’s sprinkles (such as the 909 drums) to it. The 12” is a wonderful pastiche, very true to real 70s disco, but the single/album remix (by Goetz?) loses that aspect due to the 90s stuff. I guess i...

Re: Nightlife - time for reappraisal?

While I loved "I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more" and "You only tell me you love me when you're drunk" (one of their best songs ever, imho), I found the album a bit disappointing. Nightlife was IMHO the first PSB album with filler tracks, and I still think i...

Re: Jeremy Deller PSB print for National Brain Appeal

And printed on an ink jet printer too. Could he not afford a decent laser one? It's the other way around, hi-end ink jet printers are used for high quality art prints. Laser printers are not. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giclée I'm just defending the choice of printer, not the artwork itself :)

Re: Hej from Sweden!

Welcome aboard. 2 things I love about this forum, number 1 we don't let any PSB news get past us. It's amazing the obscure things the fans here discover and share with us. This is really the one place to be on top of the cutting edge news and rumours. Number 2, the intellectual dedicated fans. Thes...

Re: Somewhere DVD

I managed to track down a cheap copy of this 1999 US Somewhere DVD: https://www.discogs.com/release/809118-Pet-Shop-Boys-Somewhere-Pet-Shop-Boys-In-Concert] . I can confirm it has the 2 channel stereo audio track that the horrible UK DVD is missing. It also doesn't have the audio glitches in 'The T...

Re: 10 years of Electric

Electric is one of their best albums, though I have some unconventional reactions to it, the foremost being I wish I could enjoy "Vocal" more thoroughly. It's a perfect song, but the production gets so shrill, I always want for more bass and bounce underneath it. I agree 100%! I really li...

Re: Somewhere DVD

I was always disappointed with the terrible sound quality on the Somewhere DVD, and can't believe the boys would ever have sanctioned its release with it sounding as it does. Would love to hear this in better quality. Does anyone remember if the VHS version sounded better? Yes, I'm quite sure the V...

Re: Arthur Baker Club Vocal Remix of Suburbia to be released on CD

Nice that these mixes finally are available in digital formats! That said, the vocal mix has always made me a bit uneasy – the vocal track is a little bit ahead of the music, isn't it?
