Pet Shop Boys' celebrated score, remastered for the first time, is now available on CD and 2LP Black Vinyl (vinyl for the first time). This release marks the centenary of Sergei Eisenstein’s legendary silent film Battleship Potemkin.

A fixture in the critical canon almost since its premiere, Eisenstein’s film about a 1905 naval mutiny was revolutionary in both form and content. Battleship Potemkin is renowned for its dynamic compositional strength and editing of frame-perfect precision that sweeps the audience along. The set-piece massacre on the Odessa Steps still packs a sledgehammer punch.

First revealed at a free outdoor live performance and screening in front of an estimated 25,000 people in London’s Trafalgar Square on 12 September 2004, Pet Shop Boys' score, performed with the Dresdner Sinfoniker conducted by Jonathan Stockhammer with orchestrations by Torsten Rasch, blends electronic beats with orchestral grandeur to create a rousing contemporary cinematic experience.
