  Neil Tennant: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com
The Pet Shop Boys -- vocalist Neil Tennant and keyboardist Chris Lowe -- navigated the constantly shifting landscape of modern dance-pop with rare grace and intelligence, moving easily from disco to house to techno with their own distinctive image remaining completely intact.
Tennant was born July 10, 1954, in North Shields, England, as a teen pursuing an interest in theater before fronting the little-known band Dust.
Tennant co-founded Pet Shop Boys in London in August 1981 after first meeting Lowe at an electronics shop; discovering a shared passion for dance music and synthesizers, they immediately decided to start a band.

 Amazon.de: The Taming of the True: English Books: Neil Tennant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Neil Tennant starts with a careful critical survey of the realism debate, guiding the reader through its complexities; he then presents a sustained defence of the anti-realist view that every truth is knowable in principle, and that grasp of meaning must be able to be made manifest.
Tennant goes on to show that an effective logical system can be based on his anti-realist view; the logical system that he advocates is justified as a body of analytic truths and inferential principles.
Having laid the foundations for global semantic anti-realism, Tennant moves to the world of empirical understanding, and gives an account of the cognitive credentials of natural scientific discourse.

Neil Tennant argues compellingly that every truth is knowable, and that an effective logical system can be based on this principle.
"[Tennant's} book addresses a number of important issues in contemporary philosophy, and the reader has much to gain from a careful study of the development.
The list of topics it addresses is a selection of major philosophical controversies of the twentieth century: the nature of realism, skepticism, the relations between knowledge, truth and understanding, the status of classical logic, the analytic/synthetic distinction, and the empiricist criterion of cognitive significance.

Across two discs, Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant come up with one of the better volumes in the Back to Mine series.
The only spot where this method fails is Queen's "The Show Must Go On," which sounds displaced between Justice vs. Simian's "Never Be Alone" (tailor-made for an action scene in a Jamie Oliver cooking program) and Celestial Choir's "Stand on the Word" (a Larry Levan-produced gospel-house prototype capable of moving any body).
Tennant's disc, to provide much contrast, must've been pieced together over a longer duration, with deep contemplation and a few rounds of trial and error.
