 Praise the Pet Shop Boys - new material from them is always welcome February 26, 2008
Barcode: 5099950604623
The Pet Shop Boys are amazing. It's a fact. Not only have they mainted their success throughout 20 years but they have continued producing top quality tunes and Disco 4 shows that they are just as skilled at reinterpreting fellow artists' songs.
A great range of bands on here, on paper you'd think it'd never work but the Boys' production is flawless and the album blends together perfectly, all the tracks complimenting each other perfectly.
I know a lot of people prefer the original album version of Integral, but ultimately, with a song as good as this, it'll always be pretty damn good no matter what form it takes. If you're a fan of synth-heavy dance tunes with ingenious melodies then this is the album for you - Madonna's 'Sorry' and the notoriously rare mix of David Bowie's 'Hallo Spaceboy' overflowing with ambience and conjuring up all kinds of feelings. that's how powerful these songs are.
Lastly, i have to give special mention to their mix of the Atomizer song. I'm a person that is very reluctant to listen to new artists but this remix completely won me over, all Giorgio Moroder synthesizers and rave squelches - all in all, i think Disco 4 is a job extremely well done!
Note: Pre-ordered copies of this album from HMV came with an exclusive sleeve with the different catalogue number: 5099950259823
I had my doubts...... November 10, 2007

But it works well......the PSB mix of the Killers track kicks off the album handsomely and continues as it means to go on....taking you through a journey proving that yet again PSB are the masters of the electronic genre.
Although most fans will have the mixes, the cover artwork alone makes it worth the purchase and check out the vinyl version too....a design classic.
Now if it weren't for that Rammenstein track, it would have got 5*
SOME GREAT REMIXES November 8, 2007
I can't believe how well this works and is actually really good. I, like a lot of people were a bit sceptical about another addition to the Disco series but the idea of using remixes for other artists and a couple of their own songs is a fresh idea , a bit like the last one had a lot of new songs. I had heard a few remixes of other artists over the years but hearing all these i had no idea what brilliant remixers they are. I am also a fan of Rammstein, The Killers and Madonna so this is great as i have a varied taste in music. No wonder they're still going after all these years they've got so much to offer music. I agree with some of the previous reviewers who said you can't really fault this and that some reviewers missed the point and shouldn't have been so critical. Just a pity Girls & Boys couldn't be on.
Love the baselines to the Yoko Ono and Atomizer songs. They were and still are one of the best groups in the world.
enjoyable and etc etc etc October 26, 2007

to "wonderland pop pop music":
i can only guess that your review was tongue-in-cheek, because it actually reads like the rantings of an imbecile.
surely anyone with even a solitary brain cell will be able to equate that artists (e.g. the pet shop boys) don't just release albums for those who already have every single track already released. anyway, who cares what you think. this is still a very valuable collection.
 Decent remixes but not as good as their original material October 21, 2007

Pet Shop Boys do remixes that are decent, but not fantastic, and which just don't reach the heights of quality that you get from (most of) their original material.
On the plus side, their remixes are usually very musical and tuneful and Neil Tennant often adds new backing vocals, or in the case of the David Bowie track a whole new second verse, which gives the original song an extra musical twist. On the downside, too many of their remixes are based on a rather uninspired and ploddy electro beat and bassline that is just a little bit too downtempo and drab and which can make their eight-minutes-long remixes drag on a bit.
The best track on here is the David Bowie collaboration, which is a fair bit older than any of the other tracks on the disc but which is still an inspired track, and the PSB extended mix hasn't been released on CD before so this is a must-have. Their Xown remix of "I'm With Stupid" are also very good.
The most disappointing track is the remix of their own track "Integral". The original album version of "Integral", on the "Fundamental" album, is one of the best tracks they've ever done that wasn't a single. However their remix basically ruins it, it strips out the passion and character. The Yoko Ono, Madonna, Atomizer, and Rammstein tracks are also just a tiny bit flat- better remixes of those particular tracks were done by Felix Da Housecat, Stuart Price, Jimmy KLF Cauty and Arthur Baker respectively.
Better than Disco 2. Not as good as Disco 3.
