Personnel: Matthew Vaughan (programming). Audio Mixers: Gerry Kitchingham; John Hudson ; Alan Tarney. Adapting the central riff from Laura Branigan's dance-pop hit "Gloria," Pulp transfers the riff to guitar for "Disco 2000," making tougher, glitzier and glammier, as well as giving it a melody that flows more gracefully. And the lyrics -- following Jarvis Cocker's life-long unrequited love for a childhood friend named Deborah -- are clever and heart-breaking, adding up to one of Pulp's best singles. Upon its release in November 1995, it entered the British Top 10. Disco 2000 was released as two separate singles, both of which contained the album and 7" mixes of the title track. The 7-inch mix is substantially different than the album mix. The guitar is subdued, the keyboards are brought up in the mix, there are harmony vocals on the chorus, and there's a spoken word bridge. Ironically, the album mix sounds more like a single than the 7" mix, but both are first-rate. So is "Ansaphone," one of two B-sides on the first part of the Disco 2000. A melodramatic weeper, the song could have fit comfortably on Different Class, even if it's melody is slightly weaker than anything on the album. The final B-side is an extended version of "Live Bed Show" that features a longer intro and outro. Although it sounds good, it doesn't particularly add anything special to the song; the definitive version remains the album track. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
