Besides the Pet Shop Boys, can you think of any other act that could get away with writing a three-minute Pop tune about Russian ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev? It's brilliant, too. One of the best tracks they've put out in recent years, complete with a showstopping remix from Solomun. However, my absolute favourite thing about this is that it harks back to their original sound. Intimate, packed with intelligent synths, it has that flourish only they can deliver. Thinking about it, Daphne Guinness could pull this off, too (it would just be from the point of view of the KGB).
