      I think it is fair to say that DJ culture is a response to Malcom McLaren's question Do You Like Scratchin'

        Music for boys (part 3) is so good. Cassette is the future.

          One of their best singles and rather under rated. Underneath the clattering percussion is a melancholic pop song that tugs at the heart strings, particularly love Tessa Niles backing vox that adds an little extra wistful element to proceedings.
          Lovely record.

            Music for Boys (Part 2) is an all-out hands in the air old skool piano classic rave breakbeat gem. You wouldn't hear this in many typical sets of the time. Worth picking up just to stump other jocks ;)

              Worth it for Part 2 of Music For Boys, a good all-instrumental track. Much better than the regular B-side.

                In reviewing the Pet Shop Boys back catalogue, it's amazing to discover that they always seem to leave 'hints' of certain ideas they would more or less continue to expand upon on future releases. For any artist, such a trait indicates a truely inherited musical talent. While I've never doubted the brilliant musicmanship of the duo, I still continue to awe at their consistently ingenius productions. Their uncanny ability to merge with current trends as opposed to give into them is one of the reasons why they've maintained a certain integrity amongst critics and fans alike. So in the early 1990s, when House music had risen from the underground and hip-hop was at its peak, the PSB typically decided to combine the best both worlds to create a decidedly unique and stylish sound. 'DJ Culture' was the result and perfectly encapsulated the early 90s music scene within four and a half minutes. If the lush, digital symphonies fused with funk guitar licks and breakbeat backing and scratching weren't enough to get your attention, then the vocoded chorus and lyrics dealing with everything from the Gulf War of '91 to the disposable attitudes of shallow masses were enough for it to show up on your radar.

                  DJ Culturemix is one of the finest moments by Grid... it hits all the right spots and introduces extra percussion along with some beautiful ambient house sounds. Altern 8's interpretation of 'Music For Boys' is old skool techno, very hard and very distinctive. It does not sound like PSB at all, aside from occasional 'Music For Boys' snippets... Overture To Performance is a medley of PSB older hits in classical music vein, conducted by Richard Niles... solid release overall.
