Pet Shop Boys have announced ‘Disco 5’, the latest instalment of their continuing ‘Disco’ album series which started in 1986. The new album will be released on 21 November via Parlophone Records and is available to pre-order now.
The 12-track collection features ten Pet Shop Boys’ recent remixes of songs by artists including Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Primal Scream, Paul Weller, Tina Turner, Claptone, Wolfgang Tillmans and more, as well as a remix of their own track ‘Dreamland’ featuring Olly Alexander. The PSB-produced ‘I’m in Love With a German Film Star’ by Sam Taylor-Johnson was originally released on Kompakt in 2008 while Carroll Thompson’s ‘Let the Music Play’ was arranged and produced by PSB in the early ‘90s when it was included in the soundtrack for the hit film, ‘The Crying Game’. The album also includes the duo’s remix of Sleaford Mods’ cover of Pet Shop Boys’ iconic ‘West End girls’ and the PSB/Soft Cell collaboration ‘Purple Zone’.
‘Disco 5’ will be available on black or orange vinyl and CD, as well as digitally. The first three ‘Disco’ albums primarily featured remixes of Pet Shop Boys’ tracks by other producers and DJs, with ‘Disco’ released in 1986, followed by ‘Disco 2’ in 1994 and ‘Disco 3’ in 2003. Then in 2007 ‘Disco 4’ featured Pet Shop Boys’ remixes of other artists including Madonna and The Killers.
