Very Introspective, Actually - A Pet Shop Boys Tribute

Very Introspective, Actually - A Pet Shop Boys Tribute

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar HalfStar Empty

Why a tribute to artists still very much alive, well, and making records? The immediate cynical reply is commercialism, and let's be honest, what artist or record label wouldn't want to capitalize on the fan base and rich song catalogue of a band like The Pet Shop Boys? It seems almost inconceivable that this hasn't been done before, especially with the number of Depeche Mode tribute CDs in the double digits and climbing. But with so many tribute CDs on the market - some paying homage to artists who barely have three albums under their belts - there is a growing consumer backlash against them. Too, it's hard for artists to know how best to approach these tributes. A faithful cover risks critical allegations that the artist has simply copied the song with no real vision employed, while a radical re-working will have fans clamoring that a musical classic has been butchered. It's a difficult tightrope to tread. Still, everyone involved in this project has opted to walk that tightrope, and we're hopeful and confident that you in the audience will be entertained by the performance. Rest assured that this is not a thrown-together assembly line tribute, but something lovingly compiled over the better part of a year by a longtime PSB fan. We've even had the disc mastered at the same studio that mastered Nightlife as well as the recent re-issues to ensure the best sound quality.

    Pros & Cons :
    unlike the mini cd by unlimited beat in 1990's this cd compilation of artists you've never heard of leaves much to be desired.

    It Stinks

    ...Completely untrue to the spirit of the original songs with poor production value, I advise die hard PSB fans to let this one rot on the shelves. This rates up there with the abortive Erasure Trib ... read more

    Pros & Cons :
    if you're a psb fan like we are, buy it, because we think it has been a nice way to be exposed to some talent we have not heard before;

    Two Thumbs Up but only 4 stars because it's not PSB
