I just stumbled upon a 1992 12 that Chris 100% used for Relentless.

Man Machine - Raw Samples For Mixing could quite possibly be one of the most influential 12 DJ tools of the early 90s

there's no Youtube clip available, so here's an alternative way to listen

relevant samples start at 40...

Last post

slightly related question: does anybody know where the „gimme your feeling“ sample at the end of ‚go west‘ is sourced from?

Probably 20 years ago, I began tracking the names of all of the remixers Pet Shop Boys have used. Since then, I believe I have compiled a comprehensive list leading up to today. I have attempted to capture every remixer that has remixed or influentially produced a Pet Shop Boys song, even including...

The past, isn't even past .
Not only it doesn't sing well, but he's rhyming the same word with itself!!

He's rhyming past as a noun with past as an adjective - it's the typical Tennant cleverness at play.

Hi.

There are lots of PSB Vids (Fan vids or otherwise) on Youtube..

Thought there could be a unified thread of all the links :)

Let me start off with this one..

Mini-Pet Shop Boys Go West

Very cute (and the miming is perfect! Even Sylvia-Mason James'!! ) but are they the Future PSB?? :o

A repost obviously.

For sale on Amazon here:

Looks like a semi-legal 'grey market' release as radio concerts are in the public domain under EU law. Awful, tacky sleeve.

Depeche Mode's new album is out, What do we think of it?
It's produced by James Ford who is working on PSB's upcoming album. And obviously Depeche Mode are a synth duo just like PSB.

Hopefully we get Neil & Chris' opinion of the album soon. No doubt they've got the finger on the pulse with this...

It's on Youtube's section but I think it deserves a thread.

I've never seen such an extravagant behaviour from Chris (except that peformance on American TV with Jay Leno). Specially, at the end.

It was in Italy in Festivalbar, Siena, 1987:

This amazing performance is happening tonight at Piano Smithfield. Myself and some fan friends caught it at The Glory recently. I highly recommend it, the vocal delivery as we as the piano arrangements and performance are great and it's very funny. They will be performing this again if you miss it...

Last post

Really enjoyed this when I saw it in Guildford a few weeks back, but the venue was far from sold out so it lacked atmosphere slightly. Hope to catch it again though, maybe in the Crazy Coqs in July. I wonder if it'll be at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Thanks for the info Dog i knew that this picture was based on something probably a movie. Shostakovich was a russian symphonic composer and I'm Not Scared being their tribute to symphonic music it fits.

I’ve taken the liberty of starting a new thread to help us separate chat about the new EP.

I’ve spent a bit of time re-reading the 2016 edition of Literally. There was obviously unfinished business from the Super songwriting sessions. First, there was the mooted “dark techno” album which...

Well, basically it's Sony Sub. They distribute for some good artists, according to Wikipedia: Girl in Red, Lil Peep, Moby, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, R3HAB, The Wombats ... only to name some artists. Pet Shop Boys make a good addition. :)

So they’re not with Kobalt anymore?

Wow... I mean... let's admit it relentless is truly a gem, I'ts quite a masterpiece, it's probably the most consistent piece of work (with Battleship) that the Boys have ever done?!?

:arrow:

Last post

as an experiment, i've created very VERY relentless.

its an instrumental version of the other 5 songs, without vocals,
and segued them into each other, its about a half hour long.

its nice ambient, background sounding. i enjoyed making it.

yes, there are tons of these kinds of mixes out there.
