Pet Shop Boys - Bilingual



I love that album!



It's the last really great PSB LP until 2009's 'Yes'. The whole Paul Simon/Rhythm Of The Saints approach really shouldn't have suited Pet Shop Boys, but of course they immediately sour the vibe of the upbeat drumming with the typically sublime melancholia of 'Discoteca' which then segues brilliantly into the (sort-of) title track. The singles are probably the least interesting moments, but it closes with 'Saturday Night Forever' which sounds like it was written for Take That and is strangely wonderful nonetheless.
