We've got to hand it to Pet Shop Boys since not only are they consistent with album releases, issuing one every couple of years, they've also managed to maintain their Disco series of compilations.
The 'Disco' album series started in 1986 and was probably considered a one-off back then. The debut remix LP consisted of different versions of tracks from the band's debut album Please and its singles' respective B-sides, with mixes courtesy of Arthur Baker, Shep Pettibone, and Pet Shop Boys themselves.
Since then, various compilations have housed brilliant remixes that Pet Shop Boys have created of songs by artists as diverse as Brandon Flowers and David Bowie, Yoko Ono and Madonna – and those four all feature on the one album (Disco 4, released in 2007) so you can imagine what lie elsewhere on the other LPs.
Now comes some fabulous news that the Boys are releasing Disco 5 on November 21st through Parlophone Records and it is avalable to pre-order now.
The 12-track collection features Pet Shop Boys’ recent remixes of songs by artists including Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Primal Scream, Paul Weller, Tina Turner, Wolfgang Tillmans and more, as well as a remix of their own track Dreamland featuring Olly Alexander.
The PSB-produced I’m in Love With a German Film Star by Sam Taylor-Johnson, originally released on Kompakt in 2008, is included along with Carroll Thompson’s Let the Music Play which was produced by PSB in the early 1990s when it appeared on the soundtrack for the hit film, The Crying Game.
The album also features the duo’s remix of Sleaford Mods’ cover of Pet Shop Boys’ iconic West End girls and the recent PSB/Soft Cell collaboration Purple Zone.
See below for the full tracklisting, and get excited because Disco 5 is being made available on bright orange vinyl, as well as standard black, and on CD, as well as digitally.
