Pet Shop Boys Community

Hi everyone!

I'm a huge Pet Shop Boys fan since I was 4 years old and I wanted to share something special with you.
I’ve made an accurate instrumental recreation of one of their songs that I love the most, 'Being Boring' and I thought it would be fantastic to share it with this wonderful community of enthusiasts.

I hope you enjoy it and I’d love to hear your feedback and opinions!
I have already prepared instrumental recreations of their other songs, I will publish them soon.
Thanks everyone for listening!

Cheers,
paZ

Here's my instrumental version of 'West End Girls' by the Pet Shop Boys, a song that perfectly captures the essence of urban life and the aspirations of 1980s London.

Technical Details:⁣
⁣
MIDI Controllers: Arturia MiniLab Mk II, MiniLab 3
Recording Software: Apple Logic Pro 11⁣
Software Instruments and FX: Arturia Emulator II V, Arturia Mini V3, Arturia Rev LX-24, Roland Cloud JUPITER-8, Apple Logic Pro Retro Synth, OMI EII universe of sounds, UVI Emulation 2, UVI Drumulation, GForce DMX

I faced many challenges during the creation process; recreating this classic was an incredible journey through time, and I'm really satisfied with the result!

A special thank you to Ben @ www.muzines.co.uk, whose article guided me in creating the bass sound!

Just brought the iconic '80s back to life by recreating the legendary "Suburbia" by Pet Shop Boys (The Full Horror version) using MIDI controllers and software instruments!

Technical Details:⁣
⁣
MIDI Controllers: Arturia MiniLab Mk II, MiniLab 3
Recording Software: Apple Logic Pro 11⁣
Software Instruments and FX: Arturia CMI V, Arturia Emulator II V, Arturia Rev LX-24, Fairlight CMI III Factory Library, UVI Emulation 2

This track has always resonated with me for its deep social commentary wrapped in infectious synth-pop energy! Had a blast reinterpreting it with my own touch.

Hi paZ,

You did a great job! You have a really good ear. I’d love to hear a longer version.

That's superb - thanks for sharing. Can I ask what VSTs you're using, particularly for that lovely string pad?

Excellent stuff !! Really enjoyed that clip. I look forward to hearing your other efforts and more complete versions..

Very nice!

That's really rather good, I hope we get to hear a full version

Thank you very much, everyone!
The Pet Shop Boys are my favorite artists!
I have other instrumental recreations in the works that I will publish on my profile:

- West End Girls
- Bet She's Not Your Girlfriend
- Can You Forgive Her?
- Paninaro
- Rent
- Suburbia
- We All Feel Better In The Dark

This work requires a lot of research, but it is very fun!
