A man from the future2026/New album 2028

[Spittingcat]

Just had a giddy thought... "obscure with strings"... playing bits of this and all sorts of other deep cuts that they'd like to perform with live strings. I need a sit down.

[greenmile]

Don't you work in the Royal Albert Hall Sandy? Any insider info you can pass on about any future performances?

I do work there but I've heard nothing!

Even if I had I'd have to deny everything - but I genuinely haven't....

Well that's what you would say...

From the OS:

To mark the forthcoming broadcast of A man from the future, Pet Shop Boys are pleased to announce a CD/blu-ray/vinyl release of "Four songs in A minor", their live collaboration with Chrissie Hynde at the BBC Proms in July 2014.

Fans have waited for an official release of this work for twelve years and with the revival of our Alan Turing piece "A man from the future" it feels like an appropriate time to finally release this much-loved work.

Featuring Neil and Chrissie with the BBC Concert Orchestra and with orchestrations by Angelo Badalamenti, this release will appear under the Tennant/Lowe moniker in the hope that it is not associated with their usual stuff (the hardcore fans will buy any old rubbish)

Full details including tracklisting and multiple coloured vinyls to be announced on 53th Octember 20266

Did this get taken down? I wanted to buy one!

Are they really releasing an EP of old songs where they don't sing, marketing it like it was a new album, instead of announcing the soundtrack release?

I skipped Disco 5 and I'll skip this too.

Several European retailers have now surfaced advance product records for Pet Shop Boys – A Man From The Future, with a release date of 9 October 2026. Most importantly, the listings identify at least two physical formats:

* 1LP vinyl, Warner/Parlophone, EAN 5026854899398
* 2CD, Warner, EAN 5026854899381

German retailer HHV currently lists the LP at €28.99, describing it as a Parlophone Label Group release and giving 9 October as the expected availability date. Polish/Czech retailers independently list the same vinyl barcode and date, while FilmNaDVD lists the 2CD edition at 449 CZK with the same 9 October release date - https://www.hhv.de/records/artikel/pet- ... 452447?utm

There are also retailer references to a Blu-ray/BD edition, with one Slovak dealer listing an A Man From The Future BD alongside the 2CD and 140g LP. I would treat the Blu-ray as probable but not yet confirmed to the same standard as the LP and 2CD, because I haven’t yet found its barcode - https://www.spinaker.sk/pet-shop-boys-a ... ture-54504

Interesting as I would expect a 1CD and a 2 LP. In what world does a 40 min truncated version of a long narrative piece make sense?

Plus a DVD/bluray combo?

The second CD is likely extras of some kind.

[Dog]

What’s most interesting about these retailer listings is that they all have it as a Pet Shop Boys release, rather than Tennant/Lowe. It will be interesting to see what is finally confirmed.

Every instinct tells me it'll be Pet Shop Boys

Looks like a straight up copy of New Order's Round And Round.

Bright solid coloured background, with a trippy two toned, inverted shoulders-up portait of a historic figure facing at an angle. It's basically the exact same. The shape of the eyebrows with the inverted colours.
