The album was produced by Brian Higgins/Xenomania. Chris Lowe comments: "This album is amazing and it was great working with Xenomania!" Neil Tennant says: "It's a fantastic, wide-ranging, pop record." Johnny Marr plays guitar on several tracks and orchestral arrangements on "Beautiful people" and "Legacy" are by Owen Pallett (Last Shadow Puppets, Final Fantasy). The release of “Yes” was be preceded by the single “Love etc” on March 16. Pet Shop Boys describe the song as "a post-lifestyle anthem which sounds like nothing we’ve done before." Along with the regular release of "Yes" on March 23rd, there was a double-CD release including a bonus CD which Pet Shop Boys have titled "etc." The first track on it is a new Tennant/Lowe song, produced by Xenomania, called "This used to be the future", which features vocals by Neil, Chris and guest vocalist Philip Oakey from The Human League. The other six tracks on "etc." are instrumental dub mixes by Xenomania and Pet Shop Boys of tracks from "Yes". (The inspiration for this bonus album came from The Human League's 1982 dub album, "Love and Dancing".) |
