Music reviews of Disco 2
Music Review: Eccch.
Rating: 2 Stars
Highly anticipated by those who remember "Disco" fondly, "Disco 2" is similar to its predecessor in that it contains remixes that were highly indicative of club culture at the time.
But that's where the similarities end. While the Pet Shop Boys' original music somehow remained engaging even when they used utterly inhuman sounds in their songs (like the blips and alarms in "Young Offender", for instance), the DJs and producers responsible for the mixes showcased on "Disco 2" don't have that magic touch. In their hands, the music of Tennant/Lowe has all the appeal of a wall of aluminum siding.
To make matters worse, the album is assembled in a slipshod manner to accomodate a "megamix" format. In other words, the music is non-stop, and jacked up to the point where it seems like it's flying right by. Certain segues are so abrupt that you don't even see it coming, and it's not in a good way either. I don't understand why, but some of the songs are repeated on here several times, to the point where it starts to get monotonous.
Completists would need this in order to collect "everything", and there was a limited-edition two-disc set that compiled five or six bonus tracks from various singles, but the collector would probably have all of the mixes and b-sides represented here, anyway. In other words, those who don't avidly collect the band's releases will probably find this more interesting than the fans who have heard all of this already and are not impressed with the packaging and presentation of the music.
