Pet Shop Boys - Relentless

The one thing I didn't like about those reissues a few years back was the nonreappearance of Relentless. I still haven't heard it!

I thought it was quite good, actually. Chirpy, dancey, soundtrack to an erstwhile ennui-laded attitude... all in that way that only the PSB can pull off without lapsing into cliche. Maybe it was rife with chiches, truth be told... but I didn't seem to mind. The Fischerspooner effect, pre-Fischerspooner perhaps. I need to pull it out and listen again. Packaging genius.

I can only ever remember the last track on it which is One Thing Leads To Another and which builds and builds in kind of clunky mecha-rotating-type-thing way until it has unexpectedly become very very Big and Epic (I am wanting to compare it to Life Goes Off by j.o'rourke as it finishes the record off in a similar way to that, but it seems like kind of an insane leap of no-logic to make). It's all really great anyway, I must dig it out again, but does it top Disco 3? (which I have recently rediscovered and which is more, um, immense than I realised)
