The Pet Shop Boys are back. Almost. Their forthcoming musical - Closer To Heaven - which is a collaboration with Jonathan Harvey, is due to open in the West End in summer or autumn this year. Listen to three songs from the show.

In other Pet Shop Boys news, their video for Liberation is used to apparently stunning effect in the IMAX film Cyberworld. Mauricio saw it last night at the BFI IMAX cinema after a couple of joints, and had barely regained the power of speech when I saw him.
