SummersRadio™ New Music! (Preview) Pet Shop Boys - 'The Most Incredible Thing' The Pet Shop Boys have always been very theatrical - both in sound and performance. In 2001 they produced a musical with British playwright Jonathan Harvey called 'Closer To Heaven'. In 2004 they performed with an orchestra and wrote a new soundtrack for the 1925 silent film called 'Battleship Potemkin'. So it wasn't all that surprising to hear that they've recently been working on a ballet!
It's an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale called 'The Most Incredible Thing' and it opens in London in March. They're also releasing the music on a double cd on March 14th! It's already available for pre-order and you can find out more from their official website here: http://petshopboys.co.uk/news I'm generally not a fan of snippets but this is a generous sample (10 minutes worth!) of various tracks from the soundtrack for 'The Most Incredible Thing'. Not surprisingly some is pretty mellow, but there are a number of upbeat numbers as well. And it's perhaps not that surprising either that a number of them sound very Pet Shop Boys... Enjoy!
