Pet Shop Boys - Disco

Perhaps their finest album, what self respecting gay themed blog series would be complete with a sprinkling of the genius that is Pet Shop Boys?

This album accompanied my move from the North West to London and soundtracked many a pre-club dressing up ritual for me and my friends. Still sounding brilliant after all these years. Pet Shop Boys have contributed so much to British pop and dance culture. The cliche was that they were like The Smiths with synthesizers, but that's pretty much true. Lyrically rich, musically inventive, and what tunes. Their 12" single remixes are like a an ever-evolving history of British dance music.

Pet Shop Boys - So Hard. USA CD EP.

I've posted the UK edition of this before, but this USA version is a much tastier affair.

Featuring not only the edit, extended and dub mixes of the title track, but also the 12" mix of "Paninaro", which still has the power to amuse and amaze even at this remove.

There's also one of their finest ever B side tracks, "It Must Be Obvious".

What a wonderful group they are. "So Hard" has one of the finest lyrics of any pop tune ever. Ever.
