Free Music Notes for Disco 4
Free Music Review: Fun CAN Be For Adults!
Hit: 4 Stars
The single star reviews are ridiculous. This album is meant to document a cross section of the Boys' best remixes of songs by renown pop and culture icons, plus two remixes of their own songs from the album Fundamental. It breaks from past "Disco" releases in this regard, but the music is great and as always, their remixes are intellegent and entertaining. From updated eighties-style house(Madonna,Yoko Ono) to jackboot beats with a dose of EBM(Atomizer), there's no pseudo-hip blips and pops here, just dance beats done with craft and intellegence, plus some cheeky risks taken when inserting Neil Tennant's own vocals into other artist's songs (they all agreed he made them better, btw). My advice is to ignore the senseless (as in no sense) fretting and pick up this album. You'll have something interesting to play at your next cocktail party, or in the car on the way to the "Disco"!Free Music Review: Once again Pet Heads can appreciate an addition the DISCO releases.
Hit: 5 Stars
Disco 4 is another great compilation of Remixes by the PSBs. If you have been hesitant to buy any of these special/limited pressings - Disco 4 is a good place to start. I especially enjoy the mixes the PSBs do of other groups/friends songs - in these instances, you can always hear PSB vocals worked flawlessly into the remix.Free Music Review: Consistently Great
Hit: 5 Stars
In all of the years that the Pet Shop Boys have been putting out music of their own as well as producing for others, they have maintained a level of consistency of powerful music and cd's of excellent content.
Disco 4 is no exception. It has taken artists and songs which seem inately popular and allows the listener to say, 'Hell, yeah" when the next tune comes on. Their mixing and remastering skills are beyond reproach and have once again delivered a compilation of songs that you can listen to, dance to and hum in your head long after the music has stopped!
Free Music Review: a different kind of PSB release
Hit: 4 Stars
Although most tracks in this release are performed by other artists other than the PSB, all tracks can be considered somewhat theirs because they have the unique PSB sound. Out of this collection I only had the Madonna "Sorry" mix (from her US maxi-CD), so this release was a great way to get the Remixes that the PSB have done for other artists in recent years, plus their new mix of "Integral" (only available on promo CD's) and the "I'm with Stupid" mix (only available on the Japanese edition of "Fundamental" and on promo CD's). FYI Neil (the voice of the PSB) does the background vocals on "Read My Mind", and "Sorry", and he sings along with David Bowie on "Hallo Spaceboy". All tracks overlap slightly (it's kind of a continuous mix, but very minimal). All tracks included in this release are great, but it was a bit dissapointing to only have 8 tracks. It would have been nice to include a mix of the collaboration "She's Madonna" w/Robbie Williams, and a mix of "Minimal". Anyways, I highly recommend this CD to the open-minded PSB fans and to anyone who is looking for a good synth-pop collection.Free Music Review: Pet Shop Boys( Experimental) DISCO 4
Hit: 2 Stars
My heart actually sank when I heard the first track by The Killers. I said to myself, where are The Pet Shop Boys? When I buy a disc by The Pet Shop Boys, I assume it's them, not others. A closer view of the label explain's why. The previous DISCO disc's were just them, so be forewarned. The first disaster is of course Yoko Ono.Her shreiking, shrill of a voice can't be saved by the disco beat. Even the hair on the back of a cat ,would stick straight up due to such punishment. I already had Sorry from Madonna's cd single. Hallo Space Boy fares better, with semi-queer David Bowie, an old master, but then so are the Pet Shop Boys, and yet, I still would have preferred to hear only them. I'm With Stupid works well, a decent rendition. The standout is Hooked On Radiation, reminiscent of good old boy Giorgio Moroder. Ahh, he is really missed. So if you buy this cd, make sure you get it on sale, to make sure you get your bang for your buck, so to speak!
