Pet Shop Boys (album 2) - Actually



29  years ago, today, was released the Pet Shop Boys' second studio album, Actually. It's funny, I reached for it before I even knew that. 

It's biggest hit, It's a sin, which Neil Tennant wrote in 15 minutes to release his anger about his catholic upbringing and pertaining to actions that are pleasurable and regarded as sins. This particular song is my favorite for its massive electronic synthesizers and over-the-top dramatic production both in song and clip, and was part of my own rebellion in my own religious upbringing.
