OK, I'm buzzing too! This is massive. I am generally clueless (about everything in the world) but certainly had no idea about a whole new album coming out. This is awesome news for me. Two albums in a year's time? And the tour is going to be epic. I certainly hope you're right about it being the party side of <i>Elysium</i>.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:large">I wonder if this is the reason they haven't released any U.S. tour dates yet. I plan to hit these shows hard! Unfortunately, I go to each concert thinking it might be their last.</div>

I thought the mailing lists would be buzzing with the news at
<a href="http://petshopboys.co.uk" target="_blank">petshopboys.co.uk</a>! I know I'm buzzing!<br>
<br>
My thoughts:<br>
<br>
1. The teaser video!<br>
<br>
2. So glad the album is "Electric" rather than "Ecstatic". The tour
name had me hopeful. "Electric" makes an el-egant pair with
"Elysium". I guess these songs came from the same writing sessions
and I'm hoping/feeling that it's meant to be the party-side
companion to <i>Elysium</i>. It looks like the sans serif font is
being shared, at least. It will be interesting to see if they carry
the album art concept across somehow. I hope so.<br>
<br>
3. So many YouTube commenters are so dismissive of the beautiful <i>Elysium</i>.
I don't get it. Does life have to be a rave every minute of the
day? :-)<br>
<br>
4. Orchestral Manoeuveres In The Dark release <i>English Electric</i>
in April. I wonder which band was more annoyed at the arrival of
the other's press release. I think it's a fun coincidence, though.
The OMD record sounds like it will please classic synthpop fans.<br>
<br>
5. How do we make June get here faster?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
