PET SHOP BOYS Behaviour (2009 issue UK 10-track digitally remastered CD album - Originally released in 1990, 'Behaviour' was a retreat from the deep dance textures of 'Introspective', as it picked up on the carefully constructed pop of 'Actually'. In fact, 'Behaviour' functions as the Pet Shop Boys' bid for mainstream credibility, as much of the album relies more on popcraft than rhythmic variations. Although its a subtle manoeuvre, the results are captivating. Tennant takes this approach seriously, singing the lyrics instead of speaking them resulting in an ambitious and breathtaking pop album, which manages to include everything from the spiteful 'How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously?' to the wistful 'Being Boring'.)
