![]() Mp3: Pet Shop Boys – I Want A Dog (remastered)īoth made available for you at 320 kpbs. Mp3: Pet Shop Boys – Left To My Own Devices (remastered) There’s an awful lot of music that reminds me of a similar-era New Order….it’s little wonder that Bernard and Johnny were so keen for Neil to help out with Electronic. I bought a copy of a remastered version of Introspective not too long after I got the new turntable earlier this year. It’s refreshing to read something from just a few years later which more than redresses things. Last year, I included a very spiteful review from Rolling Stone that was less than complimentary about UK synth-bands. Only this dynamic duo could turn such a mundane subject into a dynamite dance tune. The most remarkable song in this collection is “I Want a Dog” – an eerie ode to canine companionship. The six cuts on “Introspective” are just the way the dance-music crowd likes them: long (the shortest is 6:15 minutes) and souped up with clever symphonic touches, underscoring a passion for remixing. This high-tech sound is personalized with Tenant’s echo-chamberized vocals that come across as a dispassionate drone, a ghostly monotone that sometimes sounds like a voice from the dead that contrasts the sunny rhythms. The Pet Shop Boys have a very British approach to dance music, merging European techno-pop with American soul rhythms. As usual, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe manage to stretch the limits of dance music without tampering with its essential funkiness. “Introspective” is the duo’s best work yet and quite possibly the dance music album of the year. None of that “dance with me, baby” nonsense for these guys. They give you strong rhythms but scuttle the usual fun-fun-fun frothiness in favor of moody, cynical lyrics.

It’s one I’ve long been on the hunt for a good quality copy at a reasonable price, but no joy. As made available on the 12″ version of the single. Mp3 : Pet Shop Boys – Left To My Own Devices (Disco Mix)Įleven plus minutes worth. I’d have loved it if they had treated us to this take on things:. Neil and Chris stuck to the 7″ version that went to #4 in the singles chart at the end of 1988. You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunkįar too many highlights to mention, but if forced to choose just the one, it would be Left To My Own Devices, which really came into its own when blasted out at full volume in front of 12,000 ecstatic fans who had waited two years for a great night out – the tour had originally been scheduled for Spring 2020.
