Edited 17 years agoSome people liked "New York City Boy", some didn't. The video made for it was very nice. They even rebuilded the interior of 'Studio 54', complete, with a Andry Warhol lookalike. The album version can work as a 'club mix'. The Superchumbo's Uptown Mix (track 3) sounds like a copy of "Happy Days" by Paul Jacobs (which sampled Northend). The guitar riff is basically the same, recreated in studio.
"Casting A Shadow" is a conceptual masterpiece. Really. Composed specially for the last solar eclipse of the millenium, it was played 'live' for the event and equals in length the time the eclipse lasted. Radio 1 retransmitted the event but the presenters kept talking the whole time, which annoyed Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe.
Over the years, numerous prophets announced the end of the world when the eclipse was supposed to occur. "Casting A Shadow", played live, was supposed to be an artistic 'happening' based on that idea. The crowd reunited for the event was supposed to be part of this happening. PSB were thinking about the retransmission being the 'final product' (with the noises from the crowd in the background). That's why they were angry at the presenters. A short pause from them (about 20 seconds) gave a good idea of what is what supposed to sound like altogether (the screaming crowd - you can't tell if it's joy or terror - over the music). Good vs. evil, religion vs. science, purity vs. sins. Classic PSB themes set in a dramatic moment. You ask yourself : "Is this really going to be the end of the world, or will we get redemption?". In the end, of course, we're still there and we understand that we got another 'chance', and the question is: what are you gonna do with it?
