The next single to be lifted from Super was issued on CD and digital form on 16 September 2016.
mp3: Pet Shop Boys – Say It To Me (new radio mix)
Say It To Me is a banger of a tune, and the new radio mix doesn’t actually sound all that different from the album version. In days gone by, this would have smashed into higher echelons of the singles chart.
Here’s the two new tracks that came with it:-
mp3: Pet Shop Boys – A Cloud In A Box
mp3: Pet Shop Boys – The Dead Can Dance
See that comment I made about the single being a banger? Well, feel free to take and multiply it by a thousand to get the best description of A Cloud In A Box. Faithless meets Left To My Own Devices. It’s rather wonderful.
The Dead Can Dance is another song that deserved a far better fate than relegation to a b-side. It’s not anywhere as immediate as A Cloud…..but with a hypnotic and repetitive beat and rhythm, there’s a claim to be made that’s it is another of the many dozens of three-minute-long PSB classics that not many have heard before.
