Description:
"Actually (2018 Remaster)" on CD by Pet Shop Boys is a carefully remastered edition of one of the duo's most acclaimed synth-pop albums, originally released at the height of their creative and commercial power in the late 1980s. This edition presents the album with refreshed, detailed sound that highlights the lush electronic arrangements, driving drum programming and the distinctive, emotionally detached yet incisive vocals that define the Pet Shop Boys aesthetic. The songs move between ironic social commentary, sharp character studies and bittersweet love stories, all wrapped in highly melodic, club-ready pop. As a CD release, it offers a durable, high-quality physical format for collectors who value artwork, liner notes and a tangible connection to a classic album, while enjoying modern remastering that makes the recordings shine on contemporary equipment.
The Pet Shop Boys - the British duo of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe - are one of the most influential synth-pop acts of all time. Since emerging in the 1980s, they have shaped electronic pop with their combination of witty, literate lyrics and instantly memorable hooks. Across their career, they have scored numerous international hits and multi-platinum albums, becoming a constant presence in pop culture and on the dance floor. Their work is known for its blend of melancholy and euphoria, as well as for collaborations, remixes and performances that have inspired generations of artists in pop and electronic music.
The CD bears the imprint of Parlophone, a label with a long and prestigious history in recorded music.
