In the 1980s, the Pet Shop Boys took New Wave further into the realm of danceable pop than any of its peers, becoming regulars on pop radio in both the U.S. & U.K. while still retaining a sizeable critical following. INTROSPECTIVE (1988) is a remarkable experiment in how far the duo could push their exploration. Released before the last single on its predecessor (ACTUALLY) had dribbled off the charts, INTROSPECTIVE's six tracks, all new, all exceeding eight minutes, served as dance remixes for, well, themselves. More than half were released as singles in shortened radio-ready form, and two made the U.S. top 20: their robotic, rhapsodic version of "Always on My Mind" and the melodic, melancholy "Domino Dancing." Despite the club veneer, the album's title comes from its dark, inward themes, always a trademark of the deceptively gritty British group; INTROSPECTIVE has that edge-of-oblivion feel of a mental bender, as the band ups the volume and pep of the music to disguise a total breakdown.

Featuring a mere six tracks, most of them well over six minutes in length, Introspective was a move back to the clubs for the Pet Shop Boys. Over the course of the album, they incorporated various dance techniques that were currently in vogue, including Latin rhythms and house textures. The title isn't entirely an arch joke, however. Like Actually, Introspective was an exploration of distant, disaffected yuppies, which naturally resulted in a good deal of self-analyzation. Melodically, the essential song structures were as strong and multi-layered as the previous album, yet that was hard to hear beneath the varying rhythmic textures that composed the bulk of each track. Nevertheless, the mixes are more compelling than the remixes on Disco, and the songs include several of their best numbers, including "Left to My Own Devices" and "Domino Dancing," as well as the reconstruction of "Always on My Mind" and a cover of Blaze's club classic, "It's Alright." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine|

発売当時、予約をして購入しました。前作も素晴らしかったけど、一線を画す衝撃を食らったアルバムでした。一曲目のオーケストラとのコラボも当時は斬新でした。特に好きなのは、1曲目、2曲目、4曲目、6曲目で、6曲目は私の生涯で一番好きな曲となっています。
お勧めです!
