Greetings,

There haven't been all that many remixes... so few in fact that we can fit them in a single poll, so here we go!

Retro.

I voted for New London Boy - Boy Harsher remix!

Party in the Blitz. New London Boy would be a very close second.

Boy Harsher FTW!

I second that. Its' a very close match.

The main diference is that Superchumbo PITB remix is more comercial, so it fits also on clubs.

NLB Boy Harsher for me.
Dudes Richard X mixes are good too.

The remixes have been generally disappointing though.

Solomun.
I really like his remix.

New London Boy (Boy Harsher mix) with a close runner up in All the Young Dudes (Richard X Longest mix).

I’d love Richard X to produce the next album…

i'm very disappointed with almost all of the mixes so far.

very poorly done, lazy, and way too short most of the time.

the b-sides seem to have the most potential.

sure, they're pumping out lots of singles, but the quality just doesn't seem to be there anymore.

a good extended version of the album, would be a great way to close this out, maybe next year,
or disco 5.

later

I think the current era reflects their strongest songwriting in years. The quality is astounding.

I don’t think the songs of this Era are good for remixers.

I miss Pet Shop Boys 12" singles. That's one of the few downsides of their switch from Kobalt. Thanks for posting this poll - gives me a chance to go back and listen to decide my favourite.

PITB FTW because it's utterly bonkers, but shoutouts to Loneliness Floorplan, Dancing Star Solomun (extended) and NLB Boy Harsher because they made me appreciate the songs much more.

I would have gone for ATYD Delinquent instead of the other two. That was another gamechanger for me.

Yeah, would have loved some solid 12" vinyl releases this time around.

Instead we got 20 vinyl versions of the same album.

For me it's Dancing Star (Solomun Mix), that only just edges out A New Bohemia (Alex Metric remix)
