This is another corker, probably not OMD's strongest track, but Steve works his magic.
It a catchy track with delightful piano courtesy of Mr Anderson.

OMD - Pandora's Box (It's A Long, Long Way)
(Steve Anderson 12'')
There are so many versions of this track and I'd previously posted the epic London Grammar/Freemasons version.
This one is just lovely, it keeps all the brilliant vibe and vocals of the original, but adds some lush piano drops.
Very nice indeed!
There's something inside you, it's hard to explain!
Kavinsky - Nightcall
(Eewas Cesium Remix)
A few samples and vocals would really complement it and add something extra to it, but I can imagine it would be great on the dancefloor in clubs and work really well to mix in and out of.
Grant Nelson behind this one.
Enjoy!
Nu Rhythmix - Babylon
(The Vibe Mix)
This is another great track which was big in 1994 and is a good example of their vibe at that time.
I always feel that this track doesn't quite explode like some of their others.
It just feels like it is missing that major peak.
Nonetheless it's still a pretty fine track and just worthy of PCC status as it always went down well in clubs.
Neil Arthur – I Love I Hate
(The Excalibur Mix)
Much more indie dance than club dance, but what an amazing track.
There was a time when I first came across this that I was playing this several times a day, because I was just so blown away my how amazing it was (and still is).
One of the best and most unheralded tracks in the last 10 years, no question.
It has a touch of Joy Division about it.
Stunning!
You buried me
Right where I belonged
You buried me
Right where I belonged
And still, I'm waiting there
On division st
I would like to find the answers I was always rudely denied
A song so sweet
From back when I was born
The loving creak
Of floorboards by the door
Hopeful I waited, hopeful I called
But no one would answer at all
On division st
I would like to find the answers I was always rudely denied
Nation Of Language - On Division St
The remix is much more like a Frankie Knuckles remix, super silky and super smooth and hence his influence via Def Mix was certainly being closely studied by Morales.
Great vocals and such a superb classic house feel.
This track should have been way bigger that it was, 35 years on it still sounds absolutely epic.
Classic house music indeed!
Going to take you higher!
Slam Slam Featuring Dee C. Lee - Move (Dance All Night)
(Slammin' 12")
As soon as you hear that piano riff it will be instantly familiar as effectively used in the Liberation 2 track and many others.
Class is permanent.
Feel the power!
Severed Heads - Greater Reward
(Piano Power Edit)
This has a real vibe and edge to it.
Pounding and driving, but with some beautiful subtle piano drops.
It all comes together very nicely and has a superb aura about it.
A very effective re-working, done well.
Get on it!
Beautiful Imbalance - First Picture Of You
(Lost In Music Mix)
A nice little old skool track with plenty of catchy little sample and some nice piano.
I always feel that this one had a bit more to offer and didn't quite explode enough.
Still a catchy little track though.
Q Words - That's The Choice
(Club Version)
Here we are back with a beauty.
The PSB are no strangers to the PCC Blog and have always had a great dance music appeal.
This is a corking remix by Jam & Spoon which adds a super feel to Neil's great vocals.
A really pleasant and quite unusual mix.
Enjoy!
Pet Shop Boys - Young Offender
(Jam & Spoon Trip-O-Matic Fairy Tale Mix)
