Pet Shop Boys remix Primal Scream
By Dan Biggane | March 7, 2025
Pet Shop Boys remix Primal Scream’s Innocent Money as the Scottish rockers continue their Come Ahead remix project.
Bobby Gillespie said: “When we were discussing possible remixers for the Come Ahead album with our producer David Holmes I had a gut feeling that asking the Pet Shop Boys to remix Innocent Money might be a good idea. I felt that the song’s marriage of a socially conscious lyric sung over an ecstatic, discofied string-laden stomping rhythm track might appeal to Neil and Chris’ sense of pop aesthetics. An added and unexpected fabulous bonus was that Neil sang on it and I get to duet with him – Neil, of course, having one of THE iconic British pop voices. Truly honoured!”
Complete with those unmistakable Neil Tennant vocals, this release follows Ready To Go Home (Tim Goldsworthy Remix), Love Ain’t Enough (Tim Goldsworthy Remix), Love Insurrection (Black Science Orchestra Remix) and UK house legend Terry Farley and Wade Teo’s sold-out white label remix of Ready To Go Home – 35 years after Terry Farley first created the iconic Loaded and Come Together remixes for Primal Scream.
The Primal Scream Come Ahead remix project is set to continue, with more collaborations as part of a full length release soon to be announced.
