Foros Fairlight Jarre

Hola. Para los que les interese, el nuevo disco de los Pet Shop Boys se llamará "YES" y saldrá publicado el 23 de marzo si no hay retrasos. Habrá un primer single titulado "Love etc.".

Será su décimo álbum de estudio e incluirá 12 nuevos temas en un estilo marcadamente electrónico y Pop. Un poco acercandose a Very supongo. Por otra parte siguen la tradición de bautizar sus discos con una sola palabra. :wink:

1-Please (1986)
2-Actually (1987)
3-Introspective (1988)
4-Behaviour (1990)
5-Very (1993)
6-Bilingual (1996)
7-Nightlife (1999)
8-Release (2002)
9-Fundamental (2006)
10-Yes (2009)

Uno que no me faltará desde el primer dia que salga a la venta. Veremos qué estilo tiene. Fundamental al principio me dejó muy frío y poco a poco se convirtió en uno de mis favoritos, por lo que tengo grandes esperanzas en lo nuevo de PSB.

Respecto a bautizar sus discos con una sola palabra, es un "detalle" que me gusta mucho del dúo eletrónico. Todos los nombres son muy acertados, aunque luego tienen muy mal gusto a la hora de ordenar el tracklist  :-P

De hecho, se lo planteaban como un juego de palabras. Imaginaban a un tipo yendo a la tienda y preguntando: Have you got the last PSB record, PLEASE? o the new PSB RELEASE... y cosas así. Todos se combinan con el nombre del grupo de una forma u otra.

Confirmado

THE SINGLE "LOVE ETC" IS RELEASED ON MARCH 16.

In what is surely the pop collaboration of 2009, PET SHOP BOYS have teamed up with the hit production team Xenomania (Girls Aloud, Sugababes, Gabriella Cilmi etc) for their new studio album, "Yes", which will be released on March 23rd.
Pet Shop Boys, who will receive the Outstanding Contribution To Music award at this years Brit Awards on February 18th, co-wrote three of the eleven new tracks on the album with Xenomania. The other tracks were written by Tennant/Lowe with a little assistance from Tchaikovsky on "All Over the world". The album was produced by Brian Higgins/Xenomania.

Chris Lowe comments: "This album is amazing and it was great working with Xenomania!" Neil Tennant says: "It's a fantastic, wide-ranging, pop record."

Johnny Marr plays guitar on several tracks and orchestral arrangements on "Beautiful people" and "Legacy" are by Owen Pallett (Last Shadow Puppets, Final Fantasy).

The album track listing is as follows (* written by Tennant/Lowe/Xenomania):

Love etc *
All over the world
Beautiful people
Did you see me coming?
Vulnerable
More than a dream *
Building a wall
King of Rome
Pandemonium
The way it used to be *
Legacy


The release of "Yes" will be preceded by the single "Love etc" on March 16. Pet Shop Boys describe the song as "a post-lifestyle anthem which sounds like nothing we've done before."

Pet Shop Boys are currently planning a very special performance at the Brit Awards in February. They have also co-written with Xenomania the current Girls Aloud single "The Loving Kind"; the two groups met when both were recording at Xenomania's studio in Kent.

Si, pero el parecido no pasará de ahí supongo :-D

Yo creo que no hay nada que temer, Quim  :wink: Grupos como Pet Shop Boys o Depeche Mode son de esas viejas glorias en las que todavía puede confiarse. No todos los viejunos van a ser del estilo de Jarre :roll:

Respecto a la línea del nuevo disco, tampoco resulta tan novedoso. No creo que "Los Pechos" hayan cedido a ninguna presión de EMI. Gran pop comercial y su buen gusto por la electrónica es la mejor garantía del dúo Tennant/Lowe.

Vaya mes de marzo el que nos espera...  :wink:

Buen mes de marzo tocayo, empezando por nuestros cumpleaños!...  :wink:

Alguno ya lo ha escuchado......:


he new Pet Shop Boys album: it's quite good
Story filed Tuesday, 13 January 2009


Right so we've had 'Yes' on rotation for a few weeks now and have, of course, listened to it so much that we have lost any of the sense of perspective you, the reader, might have found useful in the context of a 'review'. SORRY. Anyway as you know by now this album is 'Yesterday When I Was Mad' hitmakers Pet Shop Boys working alonside Xenomania, the production team behind hits for Frank and Texas. As well as producing 'Yes' in it entirety, Xenomania also have writing credits on a few of the songs.

TWO THINGS WE ALREADY KNOW:
1. Pet Shop Boys have, historically, been quite good.
2. Xenomania have, historically, been quite quite good.

There was a danger here that the collision of two quite good groups of people could have resulted in something very, very terrible indeed - who can forget the harrowing 'Walk This Way' incident of March 2007? - but the good news is that 'Yes' doesn't find the Pet Shop Boys subjected to the clattering, bells and whistles, hen-party-falling-off-a-fire-escape production sound Xenomania sometimes favour, incredible as that would have been. Instead, this is still very much a Pet Shop Boys album. It's not, in other words, the sixth Girls Aloud album with Neil singing. It's the happy sort of collaboration which seems to thrive on an exchange of ideas and attitudes. The warm, downplayed backbeat of 'King Of Rome', for example, is proper PSB, while the sound and structure of a song like 'More Than A Dream' (with its surprise "driving through the night, just you and me" second chorus) is a great example of the Xenomania influence.

TWO BITS IN 'BUILDING A WALL' WHERE CHRIS LOWE HAS A BIT OF A SING-SONG:
(Well it's not proper singing but you know what we mean.)
1. In the middle eight. It goes into a spooky spoken word thing with birds tweeting and Neil banging on about sand in sandwiches, then Chris pops up and says "who do you think you are, Captain Britain?". Unfortunately it ruins the song completely SONGSPOILER FOLLOWS if you swap 'Britain' for 'Birdseye'.
2. There is a sort of call and response thing with Neil and Chris which kicks the song off and also works as a bridge in the second verse. Neil: "Protection!" Chris: "Prevention!" Neil: "Detection!" Chris: "Detention!" Neil: "There's nowhere to defect to any more!" (Ooh - political.)

You usually want to steer clear of people throwing the phrase 'return to form' around the place but 'Yes' certainly takes us back to the feel of a Pet Shop Boys most fans - and most record buyers - first fell in love with. In terms of songwriting quality it builds on the revived drive evident in 'Fundamental'. Not only that but where 'Fundamental''s production sometimes dragged songs in the direction of THE ELDERLY 'Yes' has a youthful spring in its step with sparky production, modern ideas and optimistic outlooks. Songs like 'Pandemonium' and 'Did You See Me Coming?' - which kicks off like a long lost track from the first Electronic album - are up there with 'i Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing' and 'Liberation' in the happiness stakes.

THE THREE BEST SONGS ON THIS ALBUM:
1. 'The Way It Used To Be'. (A bleak 'n' pulsating ballad-that's-not whose lyrics start with a simple "I'm here, you're there - come closer, tonight I'm lonely" then go on to pick apart an empty relationship. Structurally but not sonically it's a bit of a 'Biology' - it relentlessly drives through a series of different segments, doesn't have a chorus and builds to an incredible climax but does this in a really unselfconscious way. It's hypnotic, atmospheric, almost danceable but also very very sad.)
2. 'All Over The World'. (This should be the second single and should in fact have been the first - it's a mid-tempo but euphoric celebration of music and love with irresistible handclap action, a Tchaikovsky sample and a "this is a song about boys and girls - you hear it playing all over the world" chorus.)
3. 'Pandemonium'. (Hints of 'Starman' and 'Knock On Wood' to a Glitter beat but spookily, at the same time, none of the above. It's a song about your partner causing mayhem whenever they turn up but being quite loveable nonetheless: "I thought I was shockproof until I saw what you get up to - when you think about it it's quite an achievement that after all I still love you". Neil will probably do his palms-to-the-heavens hand thing quite a lot when he does this live.

If you're interested in tempo, you might like to know that 'Yes' features four uptempo songs, two proper ballads and five midtempo songs although two of the mid-tempo songs sound up-tempo when in fact they're not. The single, 'Love Etc', is a bit of an odd one. (FYI the best bit in 'Love Etc' is officially when Neil goes "OH!" before the chorus, like when Kylie goes "OH!" in 'In My Arms'.)

THE TWO WORST SONGS ON THIS ALBUM:
1. 'Beautiful People'. (This has a harmonica on it and is a bit of an ill-advised exploration of a sort of 'sixties sound' - it's about wanting to be a part of an exciting scene. "I wanna live like beautful people, give like beautiful people, with my beautiful people around," and so on. It would make a good b-side, or 'iTunes bonus track bundle song' or whatever we're supposed to call them in 2009.)
2. 'Legacy'. (It's all over the show and actually includes the line "that Carphone Warehouse boy has been on the phone, he wants to upgrade the mobile you own".) (???!!)

Will this album win the band new fans? Will it win back old fans? Is the Xenomania connection somehow a route for Neil and Chris into iTunes playlists of 14-year-old girls? That's all down to the Brits performance, really. Ignoring what other people might think of it and concentrating on how it sounds to these ears, 'Yes' is a big, happy, sad, modern-sounding proper pop album. We've been hammering it over the last three weeks and we think you'll want to do the same when it's released in March. Basically, it's better than 'Disco 2'.

Claro, no todos van a hacer mierdas como Variation III, por ejemplo...  :-D :wink:

La portada. sin sorpresas. EL diseño típico minimalista de Mark Farrow :wink:

Los 11 cuadrados (11 canciones) forman el típico signo de afirmación.

Dicen que es un disco Pop sin pretensiones, letras directas y facilonas y muy comercial. Un disco con altibajos. :-(

Parece que prometen "Love etc.." el single, "All over the world" y "Pandemonium".

¿Pero ya está disponible el disco? ¿Quien lo ha escuchado para afirmar que haya altibajos? ¿Donde se puede escuchar?

Pues sí que van rápido "Los Pechos"  :-)...

Han repartido algunos Promos. Esto te lo puedo confirmar, porque los he  visto. Sólo visto :| :| :cry:

La bomba!! :-o :-o

Como ya viene siendo habitual en los discos de los Pets, "YES" traerá bajo el brazo su edición limitada con un segundo disco llamado "ETC"

Este contendrá el famoso track número 12 que habia desaparecido del tracklist, y se llamará "This used to be the future" e incluirá la participación vocal de Philip Oakey de Human League :-)

Pero lo bueno es que le seguirán 6 versiones dub (instrumentales) de los temas más representativos de "YES". Un poco inspirado con lo que hiceron Human League con Dare! y su "Love and dancing".
