[Introspective] Electric!

[Zvonko Nikolich]

Jonathan and Bill,

I'm titillated as well.  Two albums in a year and the second one is not a
remix album!

I loved Elysium but I am already swept away by Electric's title and the
sound of the teaser.  That would be a cook look for the next video, with
minimal appearance by N&C.  Is that Chris's sampled voice, chanting
"electric energy" at the end?

I wonder if the Boys are going to book smaller venues for the proper tour.
After supporting Take That in their stadium mega-tour and all the
festivals, perhaps they will prefer intimate stages like the Berlin one
from the Electric Beats concert.
