[Introspective] Resurrectionist

[A.C. R]

I know there's a tendancy to feel that tracks like the Resurrectionist and 
Fugitive should have been on the album, but if they'd been included we'd 
probably still be complaining that some other tracks should have been on the 
record instead. It's just how it goes.

The Resurrectionist is good, and really cool, but as a dance track it's 
quite indescript and nothing special. And Fugitive is completely slagging 
off New Order (and even early Electronic). I can see why they've not been 
put on the album.

Now, one thing I will note is that PSB probably screwed up the track order 
for Fundamental. If you listen to the earlier (or Japanese) track order, 
then to me the album plays quite amazingly. In this order, I can definitely 
see that the album is the PSB's best since Very, and very much in the vein 
of Actually and Behaviour (one mught even see it as a version of Nightlife 
that actually works). But with the UK/European track order, the've arrested 
the pacing of the album, and you're never quite able to get into the groove 
of it.

But, as far as B-sides, I do feel that Release would have been dramatically 
improved had "Always" and "I didn't get where I am today" been on the album, 
and quite possibly one or two of the other Release b-sides. It's with 
Release that PSB really missed the boat.
