Fundamental

Fundamental is the title of the ninth studio album by British duo Pet Shop Boys. It was released on 22 May 2006 on the Parlophone label.

The album entered the UK charts at no.5 the week after its release although spent only two weeks in total in the Top 40. It spawned three hit singles, including the lead-single I'm With Stupid, a commentary on UK PM Tony Blair's "special relationship" with US President George W. Bush.

Fundamental was produced by the Pet Shop Boys and Trevor Horn.

Special limited editions of the album include a second bonus CD called Fundamentalism featuring remixes of the original album tracks, plus a new version of the 1989 song In Private featuring Elton John, originally recorded with Dusty Springfield.
