Album Tracks
| No | Title | Artist | Composer | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | So, Some General Questions First. Where Was The Album Recorded? And Tell Us About Trevor Horn’s Role As Producer. | Pet Shop Boys | 1:39 | |
| 2 | It’s A Very Modern Sounding Record, But Some Of The Synth Sounds Seem To Be Harking Back To The Golden Age Of The ’80s. Is This A Retro Record? | Pet Shop Boys | 2:54 | |
| 3 | There’s A Lot More Than The Spare Machine Generated Dance Rhythms That Sometimes Characterize PSB Tracks. Fundamental Has Plenty Of Big Brass And Strings. Who’s Done The Orchestrations? | Pet Shop Boys | 0:44 | |
| 4 | Why Is The Album Called Fundamental? Anything To Do With Religious Fundamentalism? | Pet Shop Boys | 0:28 | |
| 5 | OK, Track By Track Now, Through The 12 Tracks On Fundamental. Track 1, Psychological, Seems To Me To Start Out With At Least A Hint, A Flavour, Of The Sound Of Kraftwerk’s The Model. Deliberate? | Pet Shop Boys | 2:03 | |
| 6 | Track 2 Is The Sodom And Gomorrah Show. Obviously To Do With The Biblical Story About The Twin Cities Destroyed By God, Because Of Their Behaviour. A Euro Beat 134 BPM PSB Classic, But With That Sting In The Tail… | Pet Shop Boys | 3:11 | |
| 7 | It Starts Off With A Jerry Springer Figure Introducing The Show. Who’s That? | Pet Shop Boys | 0:51 | |
| 8 | This Is Such A Pet Shop Boys Classic! Pretty Song, Swirling Synths; But Underneath, The Velvet Glove Contains A Steel Fist… | Pet Shop Boys | 1:35 | |
| 9 | Track 3 Is I Made My Excuses And Left, The Well Known Journalistic Cliché, Used To Get An Investigative Reporter Out Of A Hole… | Pet Shop Boys | 3:35 | |
| 10 | Next Up Is Minimal. Art? Fashion? Music? All Of Them? | Pet Shop Boys | 2:11 | |
| 11 | There’s Only One Track On The Album That Doesn’t Have The Songwriting Credit “Tennant/Lowe”; And That The 5th Track, Numb. It’s A Gorgeous, Very Sad Song By Diane Warren, And It Plainly Comes Straight From The Heart… Did She Come To You With The Song; Or Did You Go To Her? | Pet Shop Boys | 3:39 | |
| 12 | God Willing, A Short Track (1.18), Bridges Between Numb And Luna Park. It’s Almost Like The Track That Introduces Side 2, In The Days When We Had Side 2… | Pet Shop Boys | 2:06 | |
| 13 | And Now For Side 2 Then. Luna Park, The Fairground Where We All Love To Be Scared… | Pet Shop Boys | 3:09 | |
| 14 | The First Single, Track 8, Is I’m With Stupid, Which Has Got Plenty Of Publicity Because On One Level At Least, It’s About Blair And Bush. | Pet Shop Boys | 2:28 | |
| 15 | Track 9 is Casanova In Hell. The Great Lover… Past It. | Pet Shop Boys | 1:50 | |
| 16 | Twentieth Century Is Next Up. Sometimes The Solution Is Worse Than The Problem. | Pet Shop Boys | 2:14 | |
| 17 | There Are Some Nice Brass Figures On The Beginning Of The Next Track, Indefinite Leave To Remain. | Pet Shop Boys | 2:13 | |
| 18 | The Last Track, Integral, Is A Real Belter. Great Dance Backing; But Sinister As Hell In The Lyrics. “If You’ve Got Nothing To Hide / You Have Nothing To Fear”. Now Where Have I Heard That Before? | Pet Shop Boys | 2:04 |
