Available on Amazon Uk now, albeit more expensive and release date of 27/5, should that be more convenient for some. Can’t post link for some. Also Rough Trade

Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.

I think you can hear him at the end, very subtle, singing "Light me up, light me up"

It's on YouTube now (on the official Wolfgang Tillmans page) in case you haven't heard it yet.

What do we all think of this song?
It has a lot of snare rolls, even more than the last remix.
I was listening to it and hearing them, just thinking of the lash back in this forum about Purple Zone and it made me grin. You guys won't like it... The dated snare drum fills are fairly prominent here.
https://youtu.be/BKdAKJQJegY
BTW I went to listen to double-check, upload only has 52 listens almost 24 hours after being posted. This one is really going under the radar, and rightly so IMO. (I realise Youtube isn't the primary platform for listening to music, but my point still stands)
I'd say this is one of the releases we'll be happy to pretend doesn't exist.

In a more positive light, I'd say the proper context of this track is Disco 5. On it's own, there isn't much to it. But against a comparable body of work I can imagine it having a greater value.

Yep, I was going to share it if someone hadn't. You should say this is an official music video.
It's great to see the person who brought us the Home & Dry's music video has developed so much. :roll: (Sarcastic)
The entire video is a man doing gymnastics. I don't need to watch it, I just put my cursor over the timeline to see the preview images and see nothing changes!
Has only 361 views after 7 hours.

It's more than that, in the intro we hear some oohh wowws. In the chorus we hear backing vocals. There are also some gentle choir style vocals lower in the mix in the middle of the song.
BTW it sort of astonishes me that a PSB fan would ask instead of just listening to the track.

I can't help but feel like my above post assisted with this official posting:
PSB wrote: Fri 20 May 2022, 5:00 amPet Shop Boys' two remixes of Wolfgang Tillmans' song “Insanely Alive” are released today on all digital platforms and 12-inch vinyl: "Insanely Alive - Pet Shop Boys Maxi Mix” and “Pet Shop Boys Radio Edit”. Tillmans, a life-long fan of Pet Shop Boys, directed the music video for their 2002 single “Home And Dry”, and contributed the cover artwork for their remix album, “Disco 3”. Philipp Herder, the artistic gymnast who represented Germany in the Tokyo Olympics 2021, stars in the video which Tillmans directed and filmed in his studio together with editor Michael Amstad.

This is great, because I was essentially saying the release hasn't gotten enough exposure. Now it's on their official posting with close to 2 million followers.
It may be a coincidence it's similar to mine, but you never know.

Are the lyrics available?
Is it "hairy back" or "hurry back"?
Love the original and the PSB mixes.
Had a thought when listening that it would be nice to hear with Simon le Bon's voice...
What's for supper?

The PSB version reminds me a lot of Casting a shadow.

Received the 12” but the record’s hole was waaaay too small. Luckily I have a file to sort that out.

Anybody else had this too?

The original is a bit dull, the mixes really improve the song much IMO.
