''Nightlife'' is the eleventh album (music)album, the seventh of entirely new music, by the United KingdomUK electronic music group Pet Shop Boys. It was released in 1999, going on to sell 1.2 million copies globally.After the release and promotion of their previous album, ''Bilingual (album)Bilingual'', Pet Shop Boys started work with playwright Jonathan Harvey on the stage musical that eventually became ''Closer to Heaven'' (At one stage during the writing process, the musical was given the name of ''Nightlife''). Pet Shop Boys soon had an albums-worth of tracks and decided to release the album ''Nightlife'' as a concept album and in order to showcase some of the songs that would eventually make it into the musical. ''Nightlife'' has arguably the darkest sound of any Pet Shop Boys album, perhaps due to the fact it had a theme of human activity at night.There is a considerable variety of musical influences present: hard trance in the Rollo ArmstrongRollo produced "For your own good'" and "Radiophonic"; dance-pop in "Closer to Heaven" and "I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more"; disco pastiche in "New York City boy"; and even country music in "You only tell me you love me when you're drunk". "In Denial" is a duet featuring Kylie Minogue. It was seen as a risk by critics because this project came at a time when Kylie was experiencing low record sales and did not have her own record contract. The year after ''Nightlife'''s release, Kylie also signed to Parlophone and released her hugely successful ''Light Years'' album.In the USA, ''Nightlife'' was also released as a limited edition 2 CD set called ''Nightlife/Extra''. The second disc featured the b-sides and remixes that had been released in Europe on the singles for "I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more" and "New York City boy".In 2004, Pet Shop Boys announced plans to rerelease ''Nightlife'' in a similar format to their 2001 re-issues of their first six studio albums, but nothing further has been announced. Their plans would include remastering the album and including a bonus CD of b-sides, demos and rare tracks.
