Yep, I think we are in for some cool concerts. I know they've said
U.S. dates are forthcoming. I wonder how much of <i>Elysium</i>
will be integrated into it.<br>
<br>
The next question is: Will <i>Electric</i> be a <i>Relentless</i>/<i>Introspective</i>
style of album with six long-form tracks? Or a traditional album of
ten or so parcels of electric dance pop? Spoiled for choice!<br>
<br>
If <i>Electric</i> is <i>Introspective</i>-style, I'm still
curious to see if an extended mix of "A face like that" doesn't find
its way onto it.<br>
<br>
My one other thought was toward Astralwerks; I thought they did a
real nice job for PSB in the U.S. I really appreciated the releases
here of the recent albums and singles contemporaneous to the
releases in Europe. I hope it was an amicable separation of that
business relationship.<br>
<br>
Anyway, is it June yet?<br>

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>

<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
