On September 2, 1996 the Pet Shop Boys released their new album, "Bilingual". Written and recorded over the previous two years, it was initially planned as some kind of Latin record. Although there are many Latin moments on the finished album (rhythmically, linguistically and emotionally), as time passed this idea provided more an attitude and an orientation then a strict musical blueprint. "Another reason for doing the album like this, " says Neil, "was as a reaction against Britpop. We like being part of Europe; we are a very international group and we like that fact."

For this year anyway.
A surprise addition.
The end of the Pandemonium tour?
Two festival dates this week.
UK tour starts in Blackpool on Tuesday.
1664: The Dutch surrender New Amsterdam to the British, who rename it New York. If not for this historical event, the Boys might have had to write and record the more awkward 'New Amsterdam City Boy.' ;-)
2005: Chris and Neil work on 'Psychological' at the Sarm West recording studio.
