'Casting A Shadow' was released on the CD single of 'New York City Boy'

My favourite band since 1987, when I was 12. Pet Shop Boys are irreplacable! I ADORE them!!!!

Maybe I'm wrong...

But this is the 1999 total eclipse of sun and PSB prepared this song to be on air on BBC 2 or 3 (don't remember) in real time with the event! PSB are great!!!

Hypnotic. One of my all-time fave PSB tunes, even though it's just a few notes cycled endlessly. :)

just perfect

I completely wrecked a friend of mine with this track once. One of the most amazing pieces of music ever recorded.

@whitneywellie This is the right song, it's called 'Casting a shadow' and was played on BBC Radio 1 during the eclipse in 1999. It was also released on one of the 'New York City boy' CDs.

'Silver age' was a b-side to 'I don't know what you want but I can't give it anymore' a few months earlier, and was nothing to do with the eclipse.

@bradjones1977 BBC3 was called BBC Choice back then, but it was probably BBC Two.

[bradjones1977]

@gianstylist No BBC3 until 2003 so it wasn't on there. ;-)

@whitneywellie

Wrong, how?

[whitneywellie]

Wrong song. It was " silver age". It was going to be on bbc1 live from devon.

get it right.

OK. Seriously. Enough. I can't digest any more Pet Shop Boys awesomeness. This is marvelous.
