Pet Shop Boys’ 1988 release ‘Introspective’ has sold over 4.5 million copies worldwide to date and features the hits ‘Left to My Own Devices’ and ‘Always On My Mind’.
The album was the first to feature production by Trevor Horn, whose lavish
orchestrations marked a new sonic direction for PSB. House Music legend, Frankie
Knuckles created the mix of “I want a dog” while “Domino dancing” was
recorded in Miami with hit producer Lewis
Martinée. ‘. Introspective’ also saw Pet Shop Boys introduce a new approach
to the format of an album and its respective singles: each of the 6 tracks on
the album’s original track-listing is over six minutes in length, and they
were later edited to fit the more traditional format of a
seven-inch single.
