“Listening to this, it’s 1988 all over again, which is rather a nice thought: everything was so much simpler back then. Late 80s was the Pet Shop Boys’ “Imperial phase” – a term first coined by Neil Tennant but now used to describe any pop star at the height of their commercial and creative ascendance. It was also the time in which I discovered and loved them dearly. After Actually and Behaviour and Disco and Please this is my favourite album of theirs. . It contains only six songs, most of which are over six minutes long, and it’s like a cross between Disco, a remix album of their debut aimed at the burgeoning club scene, with Behaviour, the follow up to this album, where it’s all a bit more low-key and post-club come down and well, introspective. That’s not to say the beats don’t hit the spot, they do. It’s definitely an album you can dance to. . But, as Tennant sings in the opening and one of their best ever tracks, Left To My Own Devices, this is “Che Guevara and Debussy to a disco beat.” Beats with brains. It also capitalises on the increasingly popular house music of the time and the Ibiza super clubs that were gaining notoriety. On Domino Dancing they deploy a Latin beat and Spanish guitar, perhaps as a nod to this. . This is the first time a cover version appears on a Pets album, and unusually here there are two: Always On My Mind and Sterling Void’s It’s Alright. Their version of the former song made famous by Elvis Presley is sublime, and features one of the best one note solos ever – just listen to that high B in all its effortless glory – it achieves so much with so little (a claim the Pet Shop Boys tackled themselves in typical ironic deadpan style on the song Your Early Stuff on 2012’s Elysium). . They continued this trend of seemingly unlikely covers on subsequent albums and to great success, but Always On My Mind will always be their best cover – having stripped the pathos out of Presley’s version and replaced it with dramatically OTT synths and vocals so deadpan, indifferent and dry, they smart.” .
