New album - 17 November '05
Pet Shop Boys have just completed their new album in a West London studio.

The album has been produced by Trevor Horn and features 10 new Tennant/Lowe songs, a short introduction (also written by Tennant/Lowe) and "Numb", a song by Diane Warren, originally recorded for the "PopArt" compilation in 2003.

Neil and Chris started writing songs for the album in January and commenced recording with Trevor Horn in May. Chris Lowe commented: "We've really enjoyed making this album with Trevor and his team and are very happy indeed with the finished result." Neil Tennant added: "We think it's a great Pet Shop Boys album and also a great Trevor Horn record."

The album is expected to be released worldwide in April 2006.

My guess is it'll be something like: Pet Shop Boys - Electro

DIANE WARREN??????

Yeah, that shouldn't be. Something's wrong.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 17 November 2005 22:46 (twenty years ago)

Although I look at that now and see it's from a couple of years ago; even so, wrong.

But more to the point, TREVOR HORN!

"DIANE WARREN??????"

I know, I've been trying not to think about it since I first heard about it. Who knows, maybe as done by PSB this will be the 1st time I like one of her songs...

Anyway, I think this time they might use more than one word in the title to do something almost as unexpected as working with the queen of boring ballads.

Fundamental. Not bad. The suggestion of "Apparently" is.. well, I think inspired, though.

PSB + Trevor Horn, well it's going to be good. I've come around to "Release" which I initially thought was a bit rub, but "I Get Along" and "Home" are at least great, and the rest of it's perfectly breezy and likeable even when it's not actually thematically so.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 08:46 (twenty years ago)

I hope the typography breaks up the title word (much as they did with DiscoVery).

"Funda/Mental"

one month passes...

From the website:

We can confirm that Pet Shop Boys have remixed Madonna's next single, "Sorry", which will be released in February. At the moment we do not know whether "Sorry (PSB Maxi-Mix)" will be commercially released or only made available on promo copies to club DJs.

Chris and Neil remixed the track in December and Neil added some vocals to it.

Elementary

surprisingly OTM, as Elementary and Fundamental are (more or less) synonyms.

― stephen, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 16:41 (eighteen years ago)

They really need one stupidly long album title to make up for the years of short ones. That would be great. "Yo Is It True Vince Clarke Got Sonned By A Wite Kid After A Usenet Beef?" would be double points.
