Ah, I expected not to like it, but it's really crept up on me. It's, maybe, the 'light...and shade' bit, it just sums up the disco miserablism of Ver Pets so well it's almost a generic convention, and it just sounds so right.

God, I must have had too many jam tarts this afternoon.

What I like about PSBs though is for me it's always the little things - 'you leave home, and you don't go back' in King's Cross, the spoken word bit in the middle of Domino Dancing with the Spanish guitar...even 'Listen/As you call my name' in that Electronic record. And Minimal fits in so well. I was a bit disappointed by the singles off the last album so it made me happy.
