Oh, I wasn't aware of this. I know they did a mix without Neil's vocals but I just thought that would be the same as the maxi-mix...

There are two different mixes of Mein Teil the one on Disco 4 (There are no guitars on this mix) and one called You are what you eat mix. This was only released as an edit on a CD single but the full length version was released on 12". I have it as an MP3 but it would have been nice to have it on CD and I like it more than the no guitars one. Still, I'm quite happy with D4 because I have the mixes I would have preferred on it anyway. Plus, let's not forget extended mix of Integral yay!. :D

I think I owe everyone drinks, do I not?

I was convinced it was a hoax, and now...

Pet Shop Boys are preparing the Parlophone release of the latest in their series of "Disco" remix albums. Whereas previous albums in the series have mainly included remixes of PSB tracks by other artists and DJs, Chris and Neil were keen to collect on one album some of their remixes of other artists and their own recent remixes of PSB tracks. Accordingly, Disco 4 will include Pet Shop Boys' extended dance mixes of The Killers, Madonna, Yoko Ono, Rammstein, Atomizer and David Bowie, as well as a new extended mix of "Integral" and their maxi-mix of "I'm with Stupid". The album will be released on CD but not on digital download sites as digital release rights were not available from the artists concerned. Provisional release date is September 24th but this may change. Disco 4 follows on from Disco (1986), Disco 2 (1994) and Disco 3 (2003).

The full track-listing is as follows:
1. The Killers: Read My Mind (PSB Stars Are Blazing mix)
2. David Bowie with Pet Shop Boys: Hallo Spaceboy (PSB Extended mix)
3. Pet Shop Boys: Integral (PSB Perfect Immaculate mix)
4. Yoko Ono: Walking On Thin Ice (PSB Electro mix)
5. Madonna: Sorry (PSB Maxi-mix)
6. Atomizer: Hooked On Radiation (PSB Orange Alert mix)
7. Rammstein: Mein Teil (PSB There Are No Guitars On This mix)
8. Pet Shop Boys: I'm with Stupid (PSB Maxi-mix)

Pet Shop Boys would like to thank The Killers, Madonna, David Bowie, Yoko Ono, Rammstein and Atomizer for allowing their songs to appear on this album.

Reports of "Integral" being released as a single are inaccurate, although promo copies of Pet Shop Boys' "Perfect Immaculate mix" will be made available to club DJs and selected radio DJs. A politically-inspired video for the track is currently being edited and will be on You Tube and this site as soon as it is finished. The song was originally written as a protest against the proposed introduction of ID cards in the UK and the gradual erosion of personal freedom taking place in the current political climate; the video reflects this.

Only one new mix. That's quite disappointing. :(

There are two different mixes of Mein Teil
Well, I believe there are 7 different mixes. Am I wrong?

Yes, I am quite surprised that isn't on.

But what a mix it will be I'm sure.

I also doubt the album will be full-price - any thoughts anyone?

As I have stated, I am not buying this release as it is a waste! if it had been 10 tracks with that tracklisting and Fugitive (7" Mix) and Dirty Tricks for example I would have brought.

But what on earth is the point of filming a video for Youtube? Me thinks a single release was planned but cancelled after filming finished but then again would niot be surprised if a single did happen.

ooops, I never bothered to check the remix name, it makes the release even less attractive
Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.

You all got your hopes up by different hoaxes going around. If this release came out of the blue, totally unexpected, everyone would be buzzing.

Buzzing for a short while anyway lol

I've not heard most of these remixes because they are usually crap. The majority of you seem to have heard them, and you all can't be wrong. Nevermind. Whens the ballet?

The remixes themselves are, on the whole, not bad actually. Especially the Bowie extended mix which is the standout. However, I've heard them all before and buying an album just for a remix of Integral is a bit much. So, I'd be buzzing if I hadn't already got the album bar one song scattered across my mp3 player.

Still, you might enjoy it, if you've not heard the remixes before.
