| CUSTOMER REVIEWS: | 5/5 - Long sought relief
after waiting for what it seemed a decade of decadent remakes
of the most trivial of mainstream pop and nothing else outstanding out there in the name of dance and futuristic '80's
nostalgia comes disco 3, if this one could be rapidly followed by a stream of other musicians bent onto this same genre, we would be treated to our own microcosm into happily mainstreamed ecstasy again! But only the stalwarts of innuere slander could
come back this way. It feels like life barely sustained unless
themselves come up with another release after(disco 3)quickly.
Or like NewOrder said about bought love "How long will it last?"
5/5 - PSB 2003 = DISCO 3
The album features ten dance-orientated tracks, written, recorded or remixed at the same time as the last studio album "Release", including one track which was written in 1983 by the original Pet Shop Boys producer Bobby 'O' . It's the new Pet Shop Boys meets the old Pet Shop Boys.
The limited edition three-disc vinyl format, features extra remixes by Felix Da Housecat and WestBam. The cover of the album is a photograph of London by Turner Prize-winning artist Wolfgang Tillmans who directed the video for "Home and Dry".
The following tracks appear on the CD and the vinyl set:
Time on my hands
Written and recorded at the end of 2000, recently completed and mixed. Featuring vocals by Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant.
Positive role model
Recorded in Berlin with producer/programmer Chris Zippel, at the same time as "London" and "Somebody else's business". Finished mix recently delivered by Chris Zippel.
Try it (I'm in love with a married man)
Written by Bobby 'O' in 1983 and first heard, in a different version, on The John Peel Show earlier this year.
London (Thee Radical Blaklite Edit)
Remix by Felix Da Housecat. London was released as a single in Germany and has an accompanying video by Martin Parr. This was available on the CD single.
Somebody else's business
Another track recorded in Berlin with Chris Zippel.
Here (PSB new extended mix)
At one time, a possible single contender from "Release". Radical reworking of a standout track from that album.

New recording of a song which was also first heard on John Peel. The song was begun in 1983 and completed in 2002.
Sexy Northerner (Superchumbo mix)
