Disco 4 and MORE!

I have waited a couple of weeks to post this in case this was just a rumour. But it seems to be more than a rumour according to HMV. There has been a confirmed release date for the fourth installment of Disco releases by the boys. Disco 4 has not yet been mentioned on Pet Shop Boys official website. So does this mean that it's non-existent or does it just mean they are holding out for the right time to post it?

It would seem to me this would be a good time to mention it. We know the North American release of Cubism is due on July 24. We also know that the Minimal Japanese EP is due to be released on August 13 on EMI-Toshiba with some of the promo remixes of both Minimal and I'm with stupid for the price tag of $20. I've already preordered my copies.

It hasn't been brought up in quite a while, but Nightlife Further Listening was to be released this fall. It's been rumoured that it may make an appearance in November. I can only hope. It's also to be noted that Release Further Listening can't be far behind. It's been 5 years since the release of Release and it was only 5 years from the release of Bilingual when they released that Further Listening set. So the second half of 2007 maybe a busy time for the boys.

As far as Disco 4, I hope they do a totally new listing of remixes and unreleased tunes. Although what I hear is it will include a remix of Integral, intended to be released as a single.But I cannot imagine releasing a single (and there would have to be remixes or b-sides) taken from a remix CD.

Of all the Disco CDs, I still like Disco- The Remix Album the best. Disco 2 was actually the only Disco album. It was a continuous remix CD which most fans never liked. I liked the format but the remixes weren't the ones I would have chosen. Then Disco 3 came around. It was the one I was least anxious about. I enjoyed the previously unreleased tracks more than the remixes. So i am hoping there's some bonus tracks and maybe if they'd go back to the idea they had with Disco 2 of having a continuous mix but please no dubs. After all, when you're at a disco, the music is continuous.

And that's what a Disco's 4
