Pet Shop Boys - Introspective flac album
Visit the official Pet Shop Boys Shop here. On 10 October 1988 Introspective was released. So-called because all the songs, although it's a dance album, are introspective. The title was chosen after considering and dismissing f, Dogmatic, Bounce and Hello!. They reckon Introspective sounds serious, like an art exhibition: Nick Rhodes, said Chris at the time, will be so jealous.
Introspective' has sold over . million copies worldwide to date and was the first to feature production by Trevor Horn, whose lavish orchestrations marked a new sonic direction for PSB. House Music legend, Frankie Knuckles created the mix of I want a dog while Domino dancing was recorded in Miami with hit producer Lewis Martinée. This ‘Catalogue’ re-issue features, along with the newly-remastered original album, bonus material such as demo versions of ‘Don Juan’ and ‘Domino dancing’, seven-inch and disco mixes of ‘Losing my mind’ and Left to my own devices’.

Pet Shop Boys - Introspective has a similar catalog number, but no DMM logo on its labels. Labels have Parlophone logos. A3 produced for Pantera Productions. Marketed, manufactured and distributed by EMI. Printed in Holland by EMI Services Benelux .
Featuring a mere six tracks, most of them well over six minutes in length, Introspective was a move back to the clubs for the Pet Shop Boys. Over the course of the album, they incorporated various dance techniques that were currently in vogue, including Latin rhythms and house textures. The title isn't entirely an arch joke, however. Like Actually, Introspective was an exploration of distant, disaffected yuppies, which naturally resulted in a good deal of self-analyzation. Melodically, the essential song structures were as strong and multi-layered as the previous album, yet that was hard.
Our writers are picking their favourite albums ever – with a view that you might do the same. As Neil Tennant has helpfully pointed out, this album is called Introspective because all its songs are introspective.
English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys have released 13 studio albums, three live albums, eight compilation albums, four remix albums, three soundtrack albums, two extended plays and 55 singles. The duo's debut single, "West End Girls", was first released in 1984 but failed to chart in most regions.
