This is the greatest hits of the Pet Shop Boys. There are several versions of this collection with minor variations and extra tracks, so be advised to check the listings carefully for the song-selections and tracks. Some include a book (most of the PSB Japanese offerings) with lyrics and such, but sometimes that is the only difference.
The first of the discs of this Greatest Hits for the Pet Shop Boys contains 17 tracks (Pop), and the second 18 tracks (Art). For those who are die-hard fans of the Pet Shop Boys, this is a must have, but, for the most part, those fans will find it is in many ways an already-have. The tracks are remastered, but given the high production qualities of most PSB discs generally, there isn t a great deal to be gained from this. There are two new songs, Miracles and Flamboyant (one on each disc), which are both wonderful (and, interestingly, the addition of two songs to the greatest hits compilation matches their performance with Discography, which also had a best of with two new tracks added).
There are the major songs and single releases from all previous albums, so this serves both as a retrospective but also as a handy all-in-one collection spanning the history of the Pet Shop Boys; from that perspective, if you were to have just one CD from them, this would the one. The songs are not in chronological release order (as Discography was), but rather seem almost randomly arranged; all songs but one from Discography are here, with an additional collection of tracks from the later album releases that reached the UK top 20. The division between Pop and Art is subtle, and any lifelong fan will have his or her own impressions as to which songs should fit into which category. The Pop side is more disco/dance music, whereas the Art side is a little more sombre, and the lyrics a little more complex. On the other hand, some songs, such as Love comes quickly would easily qualify for either designation.
This collection represents more than 20 years work on the part of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe. For the first several years of that career, they were famous world-wide, and quite a staple in the dance clubs and video programming in America and elsewhere. The first singles collection Discography represented the beginning of the decline of 80s style dance music in America, but the music descended from this type remained strongly popular throughout the rest of the world, as the sold-out concert tours of the Pet Shop Boys everywhere except North America attests to. Many of the songs on this Pop-Art collection will therefore be new to audiences whose interest in the Pet Shop Boys ended the hits from the Behaviour era.
The bonus disc offers remixes of songs from the other discs, and tracks from B-sides and other tracks from the major albums.
Pop-Art is a must-have for anyone who likes dance music, disco, electronic music, 80s music, the Pet Shop Boys, or who wants to have a complete music collection, but only one version is likely necessary.
