Pet Shop Boys - So Hard [The KLF Versus Pet Shop Boys]

[tubeyhamster]

Five and a half minutes of perfection.

[PhoenixxxStar]

They don't want to upset the apple cart And they don't want to cause any harm But if you don't like what they're going to do You better not stop them cause they're coming through.

According to Pet Shop Boy Neil Tennant, "When they did the remix of 'So Hard', they didn't do a remix at all, they re-wrote the record ... I had to go and sing the vocals again, they did it in a different way. I was impressed that Bill Drummond had written all the chords out and played it on an acoustic guitar, very thorough."

@wptutorialtube That's a cool tidbit, thanks!

[urbex2007]

Great, no bass whatsoever. It sounds like someone crushing crisp packets.

[octagon79]

@urbex2007 you need a subwoofer

[whippetatthewheel]

The little tinkling riff which starts at 0.35 is straight from "It's Grim Up North". Marries great with the PSB's bassline.

[SuperStevie34]

Again ahead of its time, not really a mash up but was for its time one. I have this on vinyl so thanks for posting

[PSBelectronica]

This is absolutely epic.Love the early 90's.Wish I could go back in time and live the life.

[ffm20zaheri]

why ´this wasnt on DISCO II ??

[ivanarsenijevic]

I cannot describe enough the ingeniousness and creativity "The KLF" has put into their music. This remix is just one the shiniest examples for this.

[miltoncliff]

[rdubb77]

oh my god this is ill.

[phillyflyer1969]

Midge9000..

I agree with you. My 2 favs as well.

[Bostonclubkid]

I always quite liked this. As a point of reference, Neil actually had to re-record his vocals since KLF completely restructured the song. It is also the only bit of the KLF's work left, since they later bought up their whole catalogue and deliberately destroyed it. Blue Man Group have license to use "Last Train to Transcentral", and I think they can only use that in Boston shows.

[coldwave37]

Quite right about the KLF, but I heard "Trancentral" at the Blue Man Group's Chicago performance about a year ago.

[dc4rob]

outstanding mix

[Fickensaufenherthaoi]

I have the vinyl version of this song and it´s great and shows once more how good pet shop boys were and are if they collaborate with other great and modern artists......(of course they´re also extremly good when they work on their own.... ;o)

[midge9000]

i still own the cd. this combines two of my favorite bands ever, klf and pet shop boys.

[reececannon]

Got this on 12inch vinyl, Did have it on CD until someone nicked it! But it was a thief with good taste.

[jazzzzzon]

i downloaded this on napster ten years ago, brings back great memories!

[GLTease]

KLF did a great remix here, kept the PSB's great bassline running through out, and the rest is pretty much their own work, flip side was pretty good too....

[risteard01]

i think there is a bit more than just the basline in there. Unlike most remixes (remakes) these days this KLF mix still sounds like the orginal in one way or another....

[karaloca]

Got to agree, this was and still is a great record.

First heard it in a club years ago, excited and scared the crap out of me at the same time. I new it was Neils vocal, but hadn't a clue it was an official mix. Ace!

[ladicius250]

i own it - i love it!

[territorygal]

Fantastic remix!

[dogofman]

In what way has this sh*t anything to do with KLF?

[bonny147]

KLF remixed it.

[dogofman]

Really?

How's one to tell the differense?

Obviously not a major effort they performed.

[bonny147]

Have a listen to some other versions. I think it's fairly obviously different to most others.

[davidherne352]
