Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
No strangers to the business of dance music, the Pet Shop Boys were doing remix LPs back when such things were still a vaguely exciting concept. Disco 3 follows in the footsteps of its predecessors by pulling together the best dancefloor mixes from a recent album and adding a few obscure gems. It's some surprise, then, to find the liveliest music the duo have made in years is culled from the relatively pipe-and-slippers affair that was Release.

Polished to within an inch of their lives by sterling remixers such as the cap-doffing Felix Da Housecat and tribal-house pin-up Tom Stephan, the Pets' often dour tales of lost love and middle-aged reflection take on a new "happy-sad" quality here that works well against the tougher beats and electro stylings. Add to this a couple of old, newly finished songs from early 1980s sessions with proto-energy producer Bobby O, including the affectingly truthful "Try It (I'm in Love with a Married Man)", and the Pet Shop Boys have declared themselves back in business. --Paul Tierney

CD Description
Third album in the remix series which began in 1986, the same year which this London-formed synth-pop duo shot to fame with the no.1 single, 'West End Girls'. 'Disco Vol.3' is essentially a selection of remixes of material from their 2002 studio album, 'Release' - which included Johnny Marr on guitar - accompanied by a handful of remixed mid-eighties rarities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dance to Disco, 14 Jan 2003
By Martin (Canada) - See all my reviews
As the name says this new album is almost all dance (with the exception of the London Genuine Piano mix). Of the ten tracks, there are some remixes, but the big stars here are the new PSB tracks. My first impression is that these new tracks are the strongest material that the PSB have put out since the 1992 album "Very". Of the new tracks, "Time on my Hands" is very much a Chris Lowe-style track... somewhat similar to "We All Feel Better in the Dark", but with bigger nastier beats. What can I say about "Somebody Else's Business" except that this Chris Zippel track is perhaps the catchiest dance track the PSB have produced for ages. It has instant club hit written all over it... watch for the extended version on the Disco 3 vinyl. Anyone who thought that the PSB had abandoned their dance roots during the "Release" era will be stunned at how good this track is. The other two new tracks "If Looks Could Kill" and "Try It" were heard on the recent BBC Peel Sessions. Except they have been rerecorded for the album. "ILCK", in particular has been completely reworked. The many fans who liked "Here" on the last album will be pleased with the PSB's extended remix of the track... a complete reworking of the song. Other tracks include the PSB/Zippel produced "Positive Role Model", Felix da Housecat remix of "London", Blank and Jones remix of "Home and Dry". And last but not least Superchumbo's remix of the recent PSB b-side "Sexy Northerner".

5.0 out of 5 stars Back To Basics, 3 Feb 2003
For those who have been loyal fans of PSB since the original release of "Opportunities" back in 1985, there have been some inspirational releases and then there was "Disco 2". Thankfully the lastest of the "Disco" incarnations is as far from it's predecessor as "Release" was from the electro-dance music with which the PSB are synonymous. The opening track "Time On My Hands" is a warm-up for the overall mood of the album. "Positive Role Model" is the PSBs reworking of the highlight song from their "Closer To Heaven" musical. "Try It (I'm In Love With A Married Man)" is back to their roots with a cover of the Oh Romeo track penned by Bobby Orlando (who produced the original West End Girls). The remixes of the "Release" tracks, "London" "Here" and "Home and Dry" continue the club feel. For me however, the standout track is "Somebody Else's Business". This is pure PSB at their best: dark lyrics, a four-on-the-floor beat and a chorus you'll be singing for weeks. Stunning! This is definitely an album to play before going clubbing at the weekend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Techo for 2003, 11 Feb 2003
Old Pet Shop Boys meets the PSB's of 2003. Release didnt suit every PSB fan, but this album makes up for that....... Using many of the tunes from the Release album and giving it a touch of the old style it will get your toes tapping.

When it started, I thought, have I got a Depeche Mode cd by mistake? Track one sounds like a homage to them!

Then its onto Positive Role Model - complete with Barry White sample and anyone who saw and liked Closer to Heaven will be dancing in their bathroom as they get ready for a Saturday night out........

Other highlights include a wonderful version of Here, If Looks Could Kill sounds like its vying for the chance to be a Bond Theme and the stunning piano mix of London is perfect for a chill outs (but not a Disco surely?!)

Finally, if you have any doubts, its much much better than Disco 2!

Anyway, PSB fans buy!
