The Most Incredible Thing is the Pet Shop Boys' first foray into the world of ballet scoring, and it’s as slick and smart as expected. Composed for London’s Sadlers Wells Theater adaptation of a late-period Hans Christian Andersen story, this must be a welcome souvenir for audience members, but those not in attendance will find the two-disc set a bit much, and with so many story-driven twists and audio cues, it’s too demanding for background listening. That said, any fans who found the duo’s Battleship Potemkin soundtrack compelling will find this a welcome, lighter alternative, seeing as how the sound is another mashing of Russian classical music and synth pop, with Tchaikovsky being the composer of influence here…
To mark its 30th anniversary, the Pet Shop Boys will officially release Relentless, their six-track bonus/mini album that was available as part of a limited 2CD edition of their Very album (known as Very Relentless). The six tracks from Relentless have not been available since the original release (i.e. they didn’t turn up on Very‘s ‘Further Listening’ disc when it came to the reissue) and are now released as a standalone CD for the first time.

Released in September 1996, ‘Bilingual’ was the sixth studio album to be released by Pet Shop Boys. It wasa UK top 5 record upon release and included 5 singles, all of which were UK top 20 singles. As is often thecase with PSB records, ‘Bilingual’ comprises many influences, including those of the music of Latin America,due partly to the Spanish and Latin music Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe had been listening to prior torecording the album. The album was recorded by PSB with Danny Tenaglia and Chris Porter, and has since gained platinum certification in Spain, and Gold in the UK.
