Pet Shop Boys have remixed Primal Scream's 'Innocent Money' with Neil Tennant vocals

Pet Shop Boys have shared a remix of Primal Scream's 'Innocent Money', featuring vocals from Neil Tennant.

The track forms part of the 'Come Ahead' remix project, which sees new versions of songs from Primal Scream's latest album being released. Pet Shop Boys' take on 'Innocent Money' incorporates Chicago-influenced acid house elements alongside Tennant's vocals.

"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," Bobby Gillespie explains. "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's 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!"

The remix follows previous 'Come Ahead' reworks from Tim Goldsworthy, Black Science Orchestra, and Terry Farley and Wade Teo. Farley's involvement comes 35 years after creating the 'Loaded' and 'Come Together' remixes for the band.
