" Pet Shop Boys Practice 'Fundamentalism'

May 12, 2006, 3:25 PM ET

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
Synth-pop veterans the Pet Shop Boys have set a June 27 North American release for their first album in four years. "Fundamental" was produced by Trevor Horn and is the follow-up to 2002's "Release," which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Electronic Albums chart.

In North America, the Rhino album will be available as a standard package as well as a limited-edition, dubbed "Fundamentalism," featuring a second disc of eight remixes. That version also features three tracks not available on the regular album: "Flamboyant," "Fugitive" and "In Private."

"Fundamental" is due May 22 internationally; the single "I'm With Stupid" hit stores earlier this week, while "Minimal" is being eyed for release in July. That track has already been remixed by Tiga.

The group kicks off a European summer tour June 15 at Norway's Sommerfestival and is expected to hit North America in August or September. "

So, we will get Fundamentalism as a domestic release. But, there is no mention of any additional tracks to sweeten the deal. Let's hope there's more to it than that & Neil will fill us in on the Official site.

Perhaps, they will release 'Minimal' right after this! If that will happen, I'm sure the USers will get some mixes (from the past) on this release!

Nope! It's an exact copy of the EU release - out courtesy of Rhino for U S A
