That's not very good in my opinion..chopping up the vocals not a good move and got rid of the melody for Erasure lite.

[Disco.]

That sounds very amateurish, and not good at all !

[DopeFiend]

Incredible!!!
The uncovered Neil vocals.
What an experience. I just love that voice.
Love the remix. Changes things up from the original, sounds somewhat modern as well.
Hearing the heavenly NT vocals is sublime.

I like the remix, love to hear Neils vocals but is a miss chance IMO for the verses arent there

Does anyone here know why PSB after spending money on Cicero, on productions, doing vocals, promotion and even Chris himself did a video shooting.. why after 30 years Pet Shop Boys dont even promote this new release on social media in a single post ? Like "Here is the remastered 30 year old anniversary album Cicero "Future Boy" Released on our extinguised label Spaguetti Recordings back in 1992. Neil x"

My guess is that something bad happened between them.
Otherwise its a work from all 3 of them involved and producer David Jacob.
Maybe someone here knows better and wants to share it with us.

I hope he didn't pay for it....

Something clearly happened. Radio silence for nearly 30 years for everything Spaghetti related. Cicero should have been huge. The entire spaghetti era seemed woefully under promoted. Is as if they lost interest half way through.

[nervousboy]

Nothing 'bad' happened between them but worth remembering what was going on in CL private personal life at this time and so the losing interest might be misguided. It was also a period of time of great sadness, new projects, regrouping resulting in Very.
