Description of Fundamental
2006 Release of the Duo's Eighth Full Length Album, Reuniting them with Producer Trevor Horn (Who also Produced "Introspective"). Chris Lowe Commented: "we've Really Enjoyed Making this Album with Trevor and his Team and Are Very Happy Indeed with the Finished Result." Neil Tennant Added: "we Think It's a Great Pet Shop Boys Album and also a Great Trevor Horn Record." Nme Has Proclaimed "Fundamental" as "Their Best Album in 10 Years". Features the Initial Single "i'm with Stupid", a Pointed Jab at Tony Blair and George W. Bush. "Fugitive" was Originally Written at the Beginning of 2005 and Completed with Richard X. "in Private" is the Duo's Own Version of the Hit They Wrote and Produced for Dusty Springfield in 1989 and features Duet Vocals by Neil Tennant and Elton John.Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe's experiment in brainy dance pop has been going on for two decades now, and since it's never really been broke they never bother fixing it. True, 2002's Release was more of its time than anything they'd released since Please, but after 2005's Back To Mine diversion, they're indulging in pure '80s nostalgia on Fundamental. The first single, "I'm With Stupid" shamelessly works a pure synth-cheese vibe, and it doesn't stop there; check out the robotic romance of "Numb" or the beyond retro electro on "Minimal." This is rather familiar territory for legendary producer Trevor Horn as well, whose previous credits include... uh, let's see, Tom Jones? Frankie Goes To Hollywood? ABC? Happily, everybody concerned is clearly having a blast so the record doesn't sound dated--it's too vivid and alive for that. Tennant's preening, slippery lyrics make grand mischief of songs like "Casanova In Hell," and Horn floats occasional reminders of the 21st century into the fray, especially on "20th Century" (cheeky, no?). It's not a Grand Statement of a record by any means, and could use more thump. A good DJ will soon take some of this material and remix it into dance floor Nirvana. Until then, break out the hypercolor shirts, drink some new Coke and buy this cassette tape (err... CD, I mean) ASAP. -Matthew Cooke
