Axis

This largely instrumental banger was released as the first single from The Pet Shop Boys' twelfth album, Electric. It was debuted on March 22, 2013 at the Cumbre Tajín festival in Veracruz, Mexico and released digitally on May 1, 2013.

An extremely negative review of the Pet Shop Boys previous album, Elysium, had an incalculable effect on Electric. "They said they wanted more banging and more strobes," Chris Lowe told Q magazine. So we thought, 'Well, that's what you're going to get, then.'"

The Pet Shop duo employed Stuart Price, best known for his work with Madonna and The Killers, to produce Electric. "It was a quick, instinctive record to make," Price said. "But I think that's because a record normally sounds like the time you have making it and we had a lot of fun doing it."

The song was inspired by an Italian Disco night in Berlin that the Pet Shop duo attended. Chris Lowe told Electronic Beats magazine that the pair, "got back and felt inspired by the music we'd been listening to—nothing specific, but just the feeling of it all."

Tennant added "I think it was this track that might have made us decide to do a separate dance album — 'cause this was never going to go on Elysium. There was no option of that at all."

This song was inspired by Madonna. Neil Tennant laughed to The Sun: "Axis had a rubbish vocal at first. Then I pretended to be Madonna on 'Erotica' and said it in an American accent. Now when I hear the voice at the start of the show, I don't think of it as me but my alter-ego, 'The Electric voice'."

This was titled various times "Electric" and "Turn it On", before the Pet Shop Boys settled on "Axis."

Producer Stuart Price told Electronic Beats magazine: "The demo always had the direction and the atmosphere. I sort of always thought it had this sort of futuristic, sort of mystical 'City in the Skies' feel to it, and that's what I loved about it. It was sort of like where Techno met Disco… and that's always what it felt like, so when we were working on it in the studio I think it was just putting it into a place where it could be played in a DJ set now."

"The BCS-3 is that box you always see Eno with in a Roxy Music video, or on a Bowie record," he continued. "And there's not really anyone alive that can play it, but anyone can sort of stand there and just push it and it will do something. So all this, it's just the sound of those boxes—plus disco bells, equals 'Axis.'"

Fluorescent Lyrics

You walk in
And you light up the room

You’ve been living… in a looking glass scene
Since you… were 17
I can’t deny… you’ve made your move
With a heavy cup to spend the occasional army cup

Brighter and brighter and brighter you burn
When you’re in this mood there’s no return
Life’s a gamble, throw my dice
Every scandal has it's price
Brighter and brighter and brighter you burn
When you’re in this mood there’s no return
Fluorescent

Fluorescent
Incandescent
Fluorescent
Incandescent

You walk in
And you light up the room

At midnight it’s time for business
But who… will bear witness?
To your beauty and refrain
But how well you’ve played the game?
You’ve played the game, you’ve played the game
You’ve played the game, you’ve played the game
You’ve played the game, you’ve played the game
You’ve played the game, you’ve played the game
You’ve played the game

Brighter and brighter and brighter you burn
When you’re in this mood there’s no return
Life’s a gamble, throw my dice
Every scandal has it's price
Brighter and brighter and brighter you burn
When you’re in this mood there’s no return
Fluorescent

Fluorescent

This moody, murky exploration of nocturnal decadence was the last song written for Electric. The Pet Shop pair had decided that they needed one more track for Electric and by this stage, Chris Lowe and producer Stuart Price were in Berlin and Neil Tennant was in Los Angeles. One morning Tennant woke up to find three e-mails from Lowe with ideas for tracks he'd done at home, all of which he liked. Tennant recalled to Electronic Beats magazine: "I sent it back to Chris and said, 'Why don't we make this the ninth track on the album?' And then we did quite a lot of work on this: put the vocal on, turned it into a song,"

Shouting In The Evening

Vocalist Neil Tennant told Electronic Beats magazine about this song: "There's a quote by the British actor Michael Gambon, who was asked to describe what he did for a living—as an actor obviously—and he said, 'Shouting in the evening!' And the lyric is actually really taken from Lionel Richie 'Dancing On The Ceiling': 'Oh what a feeling, shouting in the evening.' [laughs] No really, it's, 'Oh what a feeling. When you're dancing on the ceiling."'

"And also, what was great about this," Tennant continued, "what with its unusual structures, as the lyricist I didn't have to come up really with many more lyrics. Amazingly enough, we'd never done 'What? What? What? What?/When? When? When? When?/Why? Why? Why? Why? Now. Now. Now. Now.' So that went in. The vocal manipulation, this was done by Chris (Lowe), in fact."

Vocal Lyrics

I like the people, I like the song
This is my kind of music
They play it all night long
I like the singer, he’s lonely and strange
Every track has a Vocal, and that makes a change

And everything about tonight feels right and so young
And anything I wanna say out loud will be sung

It’s in the music, it’s in the song
Everyone I hoped would be around has come around
For the music
It’s in the music, it’s in the song
And the feeling of the one surround us,
Oh it’s so strong
It’s in the music

And everything about tonight feels right and so young
And anything I wanna say out loud will be sung
This is my kind of music
They play it all night long

Expressing passion
Explaining pain
Aspirations for a better life are ordained

And everything about tonight feels right and so young
And anything I wanna say out loud will be sung
This is my kind of music
They play it all night long

It’s in the music
And everything about tonight feels right and so young
And anything I wanna say out loud will be sung
It's in the music
It's in the music
This is my kind of music
They play it all night long
They play it all night long
And the feeling of the warmth around us all is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong

I like the people, I like the song
This is my kind of music
They play it all night long
I like the singer, he’s lonely and strange
Every track has a vocal, and that makes a change

Vocal

This paean to raving started off as a joke based on the fact that dance songs don't have vocals anymore (Hence the line "I like the singer, he's lonely and strange – every track has a vocal, and that makes a change). However it then turned into something more heartfelt. Vocalist Neil Tennant recalled to Pop Justice : "I can remember us being on the Discovery tour in Brazil, and on the last night of the tour we were all on the dancefloor – me, our dancers, Chris Lowe, Chris Heath, in this club in either Sao Paulo or Rio, and it was just . I remember having a very similar experience when we were somewhere during the era when 'Music Sounds Better With You' was out, which is quite a long time ago…"

"You couldn't get enough of that record at the time," he continued. "I remember looking around and everyone was just so happy. Also with 'Vocal', while I didn't do the rave thing in 1988 and 1989, Chris saw the light then and I was thinking of that from his perspective. It's actually a very sincere song."

The video was produced and directed by the filmmaker and photographer Joost Vandebrug. It contains a collection of amateur footage shot at raves in the late 1980s, as well as material filmed in the infamous Haçienda in Manchester.

This was the final track on Electric, the Pet Shop Boys' first independently released album. It was issued through the duo's own x2 label, via Kobalt Label Services.

Electric debuted at #26 on the Billboard 200, the Pet Shop Boys' highest charting album in nearly 20 years. They last went higher with 1993's Very, which arrived and peaked at #20.
