Pet Shop Boys discuss 'Nightlife/Further listening: 1996-2000'

In the first of three videos where Neil and Chris discuss the recent ‘Catalogue: 1985-2012’ reissues, they recall a productive phase recording ‘Nightlife’ and how set designer Ian MacNeil and architect Zaha Hadid helped them capture the visual aspect of the album in costume and on stage.
‘Catalogue: 1985-2012’ is a landmark series of reissues of Pet Shop Boys' Parlophone studio albums. Each album from the duo’s Parlophone discography will be remastered and accompanied by ‘Further listening’ albums of master quality bonus tracks and demos created in the same time period as each album, as well as Pet Shop Boys own remixes of their tracks. Many tracks are being released for the first time.
The first three of the ‘Catalogue’ albums, 'Nightlife/Further listening: 1996-2000', 'Release/Further listening: 2001-2004' and 'Fundamental/Further listening: 2005-2007’, are out now.

"If Neil doesn't like it, it's not master quality" hilarious! Love Chris comments and the way they complement each other. Master quality both of them :)

[@lammas87]

Nightlife is probably the first album that I bought myself with my own money. I was a kid at the store looking all the cd's and stuff and I thought I have to buy something. Mom and my bro already left and were sitting in the car waiting me. Then I just grabbed this, Nightlife. I thought it looked funny and at that age I didn't understand much English. I just started listening it after a long time and damn I feel it's the best music purchase ever.

[@divernater]

I could listen to Neil talk all day, And theyre like two old laydies , Neils chatty chatty chatty , Chris get some little bits in now and again. Love this..

[@austral1992]

What a pleasure to hear Neil's beautiful voice. I could hear it all day.

[@plasticlemons]

The only group that the more they reveal they still hold on to their mystery its the talent on the music and vocals mixed with a lot of creativity that makes Pet Shop Boys the best!!!

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

The sleeve notes and song explanations are worth the money alone. I'm amazed they carried on where the 2001 remasters left off, similar artwork and text. I have them from back in the day but I just bought all three again and there's great unissued material in the sets. I forgot how good 'Fundamental' is and it's one of their best. Nightlife is not my favourite but the extras are great. Release again, not bad but with 2 CDs of extras you can't pass on it! I can't wait for 'Yes' and 'Elysium' next month!

gotta love that Chris is the thumbnail

[@RLeBonTennant]

I loved this video so much! It's very intresting learning about these new Further Listenings of course, as well as hearing Neil Tennant talk. 😉😍 But my favourite moment had to be when they were talking of unreleased tracks being of "master quality," and Chris saying, "If Neil doesn't like it, then it's not of master quality," made me laugh So Hard! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😉😉😍😍😘😘💖💙👍👍

[@andreasnssjohnsen6023]

I love Nightlife. I reminds me of travelling, I used to listen to it on the train, going between cities in my early twenties.

[@nicolasmolinavasquez375]

Nightlife 10/10

[@gkeaoyrge]

[@samneve]

Chris can talk, it takes about 6 minutes :-) Nevertheless the Pet Shop Boys are still the best artist for me!

[@raissaarias5711]

Que lindo verlos,me encanta su musica,nunca pasaran de moda.

[@ErikGPL]

I like the further listening sets, but I was a bit dissapointed that the demo for 'Indefinite Leave To Remain' wasn't in the Fundamental set. However I was really nice to finally see 'Alone Again' on a cd. :)

[@jonathanadkison8027]

MADE DANCE; VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER

[@juancarlossolis4118]

Par de genios eminentes lo maximo de la musica electronica

One of the very best albums they've ever released although happiness wasn't an option.

[@mod69]

Bought this glad I did

[@markratcliff5646]

PSB best band in the world ever Tennant/Lowe best songwriters in the world ever

[@BankkeyAoshi]

Mark Ratcliff i must agree.

[@berliner0]

They are the best

[@fillevans]

Why would you dislike this video? I don't understand some people.

[@ImagenPD]

to people who do not like the pet shop boys, is because they lack good musical taste

[@RetroCore]

A lot of people on the internet are idiots. Unless you really dislike the Pet Shop Boys there's no reason NOT to like this video. I'm looking forward to seeing other videos in this series of interviews. I just hope that the Pet Shop Boys come to Japan soon! I was so hoping they'd come last year when around Asia but they didn't :(

[@simon5005]

fillevans They're called You Tube trolls, they just go around disliking stuff to pass people off. They have no life.

[@arielveron3145]

try not to understand dude , be focused on accept . million people don't think the same. Even PSB fans don't like everything they do

[@diegomeetsworld]

NIGHTLIFE= 5 Stars

[@Ramil_A]

Как же я обожаю вас

[@richardporterfield1948]

I've always been a fan and collector of PSB albums and singles. I purchased the early albums with Further Listening when they were released maybe 10 years ago. I was tickled with the latest 3 and forthcoming 2 but what happened to Bilingual? I did some research and found one was released a few years back I'm shocked I missed the Further Listening edition though I have the 2 disc set that was released in 1996. Is it possible that a Further Listening edition will be reissued again?

[@gkeaoyrge]

Don't worry, Neil has stated that the original Further Listening albums from 2001 will be re-released in the near future so you will be able to purchase Bilingual to complete your collection :)

[@neillowe1969]

the boys goes older with me....Neil looks like my father....

[@Ivegotthebrains]

Aww, you guys...

[@petshopboyspartnership]

GOD-LIKE indeed

[@Adriana1111000]

I love PSB 💗💗💗💗💗😍

[@Distorted-Vision]

Is Chris a qualified Architect? His Wikipedia says he didn't complete his degree at Liverpool University.

[@jimmymcgill6600]

There isn't "all" on the Further Listening CDs. Many remixes are still missing like It's a Sin, Heart etc.......

[@sak4aak]

They intentionally try to avoid releasing mixes on the FL CD's unless not commercially available, like the PSB mix of I Don't Know What You Want...

[@ivanahavitoff7308]

they only have the mixes THEY have done so yes you are right lots more mixes out there to collect in a box set at some stage

[@dedpxl]

Like Ivana says, it's remixes they themselves did.

[@woodskier]

now look here young man...do stop my club am...um... one one me...and for your misses

[@slammermx]

Penn and Teller?

[@livefreeordie45]

My ho me town is London but me mum came to the USA to be with me father.

[@Arthur-hg7ny]

4:40 awkward

[@marcinkalinowski6313]

HEART HO HO HO AAAAAAAAAA FRANKENSTEIN

[@pierresanchez3991]

I find it a shame that they adopted these ridiculous looks for such an ambitious album. Nightlife, however, remains a gem for me

[@EM.1.]

I wish Chris would fix his teeth...typical English look.
