Pet Shop Boys most recent album, "Fundamental", is produced by Horn as well. He's done a great work there. |
Did he produce the whole of that Pet Shop Boys album? I thought it was just one track. It has to be admitted he has sat behind the mixing desk for some extraordinarily dodgy artists like Boyzone and Westlife. I guess the money must be good. |
Yes, this time Trevor Horn has produced the whole album and Pet Shop Boys aren't even credited as co-producers. Their earlier collaboration, back in 1988, was limited to just a few songs though, like the hit single "Left to my own devices" and one more track on the album Introspective.
Although Horn is not the arranger, one thing that gives Fundamental its characteristic is the big orchestral arrangements on the slow numbers in particular.
