Memory Of The Future...




The new Pet Shop Boys album, "Elysium", will be released around the world by Parlophone/EMI on the following dates.

September 5th: Japan.
September 7th: Germany and most of Europe.
September 10th: UK, France, South American countries.
September 11th: USA (on Astralwerks).

There are two CD formats: a single CD and a limited-edition double-CD which also includes instrumentals of each song. A double-vinyl album will also be released in limited quantities also including the instrumentals.
The album will be available on all digital outlets; on iTunes it will be available with the tracks "Mastered for iTunes" and will also include two videos and a track-by-track commentary of Neil and Chris discussing the music with David Walliams

The album was produced in Los Angeles earlier this year by Andrew Dawson and Pet Shop Boys. The artwork was designed by Farrow. The image shown above is the double-CD cover - the one below is for the single CD.

1. Leaving
2. Invisible
3. Winner
4. Your early stuff
5. A face like that
6. Breathing space
7. Ego music
8. Hold on

PSB played at the Olympics today - they performed "Always On My Mind", "What Have I Done To Deserve This" and "Winner" - a recording of the last one will most likely pop up on TV soon, according to Neil...

I just love the track title "Requiem in denim and leopardskin" - campness abounds, once again, thanks to Pet Shop Boys! Jx

Oh yes, I do love that title!

I will go for the doubles as well - funny, they did the instrumental thing with "Yes", but only on a strictly limited 11 LP box set. I have them ripped onto CD though and it does make for a great instrumental album. Glad to see them do this again, but in an affordable way...
