Neil Tennant can often be found in good old West Berlin. On the left of the Kurfürstendamm, the Pet Shop Boys moved into a chic secondary residence a few years ago.
If you believe their closer environment, the two look at their existence in the Prussian metropolis a little like a sophisticated spa stay. Gallery search, private dinner and long walks. Berlin as Baden-Baden.
In the Rolling Stone, the British electronics technicians were welcome guests. Anti-rockers who have continuously shaken large pop songs from their sleeves since the mid-eighties. My direct encounters with tennant go back to the pre-Stone era: around 1988, when PSB introduced their house music album “Introspective” in the Cologne Music Club Rave in front of a hand-picked audience.
Since I was part of the operating team of this cellar disco at the time, we took Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe from the press team from her record company EMI for the sound check. As always, tennant gave the sophisticated gentleman, while Lowe immediately got to the mixer.
On this album there is a cover version of the house classic “It’s Alright” by US producer Sterling Void. After specialist etching about the differences between Chicago and New Jersey House, Tennant found that it would be great to play the original at the DJ set. I didn’t live far away and got the Maxi out of my shelf.
