Recorded with co-producer Harold Faltermeyer in Munich, Germany and completed at London's Sarm West Studios, BEHAVIOUR was Pet Shop Boys' fourth studio album and a bit of a departure for the British synth-pop duo. “It was more reflective and more musical-sounding,” said PSB's Neil Tennant of the collection, which emphasizes pop melody and emotional directness and features the singles “So Hard,” “How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously?” and the classic track “Being Boring.” Guitarist Johnny Marr and David Lynch's go-to arranger Angelo Badalamenti are among the guests lending their talents to the 1990 set, a No.2 hit in the U.K. that was eventually certified Platinum there. BEHAVIOUR still stands as one of Pet Shop Boys' most moving and memorable records, and we’ll give it another spin to wish Tennant a happy 70th birthday.
