And yes, from the first moment it becomes clear that the same man who sometimes hides under alias a


Not quite a year for these pages we were taking a look at what they had to offer Pet Shop Boys in their eleventh studio album, Elysium. By then, the British duo gave us 12 songs that pulled the halftime down, with serious lyrics and the usual reviews and elegance that only they can give the synth pop.
And now, 10 months boccia later we received Electric, a twelfth album that seems the antithesis of the former, and it is not clear to us if Tennant and Lowe, who had some of his themes prepared beforehand, along with Elysium, wanted I split in two, making two different themes boccia for each album or if this is an attempt to wipe the slate clean, as if they were not satisfied with the work delivered on the previous occasion, though they themselves confess that they always want to do something different to the above .
The fact is that, if we had 12 subjects Elysium modern sound, in that more relaxed boccia line that PSB style has evolved in recent years, which were rather heavy (perhaps boccia the disc with a couple of cuts would have been less effective), Pet Shop Boys now bring us back to his early years in the late 80s and early 90s, both in sound and style with an album that brings to mind that Introspective 88, for his concept of few subjects, and quite long, almost as if extended or club mixes we were talking.
Electric contains only 9 cuts (Introspective only had 6) and most of them are greater than 5 minutes. And then, following both the comparison with Introspective as to opposed to Elysium, in this new work by British duo, and we can forget soporific issues: we can be clear that this album is designed from start to finish for the dance dance, hence more meaningful copper duration of their subjects. Pet Shop Boys: vindicating the dance floor
Because if something is Electric is a vindication of dance music. There is no time or means ballads. The rates adopted in these 9 subjects are anything but quiet and both are inspired dance music right now, and which was heard on 90, having shades house, boccia trance or simply dance, and leaving a little one side has always embraced pop duo.
Perhaps the focus of this new album is more frivolous than the previous one, which was more reflective boccia or vindictive, and although the claim of one reason or another has always been present in themes boccia Pet Shop Boys, is probably the fact This disc is a kind of autorevival, in which they originally sought more than what came later, boccia the reason boccia for the frivolity and lightheartedness.
In fact, to start with, and surprised to find an almost instrumental as 'Axis'. The unanswered voices are not commonplace in the discography of the guys in the pet store, and meet at the beginning of this Electric doubly surprising. On the one hand we can consider the statement of intent without words is we want to take to the track, dancing, and secondly, we are contrasting with 'Vocal', responsible for closing the album and going against him precisely so tell us in your letter.
And yes, from the first moment it becomes clear that the same man who sometimes hides under alias as Thin White Duke, Jacques Lu Cont and Les Rythmes Digitales, ie, Stuart Price, who has been following issues after production is likes of The Killers, Madonna, Lady Gaga and Kylie Minogue, not making an endless list. Electric: no repeated maxim
His influence is clear with the rules and tricks that are used from the start. 'Axis' and makes it clear, but 'Bolshy', a theme that continues, the thing does not decay and house beats, synths mixed with those acids to the middle of the song that more than one will have to wonder whether these guys really are the same and yes it's after 50. Additionally, your letter, boccia simple, repetitive to a fault, affects the nature of dance music, no hassle, no claims, no deeper issues.
But there are lyrics that delve, like 'Love Is A Construct Bourgeois', a song from the classic duo, here the melody recalls past topics, from the earliest times (is there any' Go West 'here?), catchy, the kind that you find humming without realizing it, and a letter drop something ironic and political.
But if the initial tone Electric PSB, and surprise, with 'fluorescent t' the thing begins to fully take the road to the track. Its packed with enough current resources techno gives an aspect entirely different issue to what they have heard in recent times and nothing to do with their older dance tracks. Same as
