12RX041 Bilingual (parte 1)

Graham and Chris return to 1996 for the first half of their Bilingual exploration - a summer of Britpop swagger, Spice Girls hysteria, Euro ’96 euphoria, and their own very different lives in northern Britain.

They stand again at Pet Shop Boys’ post‑Very crossroads: older, out of step with the charts, paranoid about the rise of Pulp and Blur, yet still pushing forward as Before takes shape in New York - with a little help from Danny Tenaglia and OJ Simpson.

Then the album’s Latin heart bursts open: the multicultural heat and nudity of the Sound Factory Bar, SheBoom’s Glaswegian beer-swigging drummers, the exotic excitement of the Discovery tour, Olodum’s samba‑reggae beats and the birth of Se A Vida É.

It’s a celebration of rhythm, reinvention and the album that saw Pet Shop Boys open the door to a whole new world. Come outside and feel the morning sun!
