« Wii-ha! | Main | Confab #29 » January 16, 2007"Fundamental"Have you heard the Pet Shop Boys' new album, "Fundamental"? It's terrific, and I'm completely addicted to it. (Like, three-times-a-day-at-the-office kind of addicted.) I was a big PSB fan in the 80s (who wasn't?), and followed them into their early-90s material ("Behavior", "Very") with a grin on my face and a spring in my step. And then, at some point, right around "Bilingual" ... they lost me. The music was too overproduced, too ... something. It wasn't for me. So I moved on. But a friend of a friend is a PSB fanatic, so I'd been hearing a lot about them of late (plus, they were in town a month or so ago). So I checked on iTunes, found the album, and took the plunge. Whoa. It's lush, it's catchy, it's terrific. If you're looking for some state-of-the-art, smart (and political) dance music, it's the way to go. Try these: (And if you're going to dip a toe, do it with "Integral." I can't get it out of my head.) Posted by Gavin Shearer at January 16, 2007 2:42 PM. Posted to Entertainment. CommentsHello, Gavin! I've been holding off on buying this disc because I was resisting the throwback to my high school days. But given the ringing endorsement, I'll have to get a copy for my own hot little hands! Posted by: L at January 16, 2007 9:36 PM Post a commentThanks for signing in, . Now you can comment.
