I don't really know though....:scratch: Johnny played mainly guitars, so he may have not done keyboards. I heard that Neil just wrote the lyrics and sang the song, and Johnny and Bernard wrote the song. I'm guessing the keyboards may be Bernard ;he is in front of a keyboard in the video for it, and when they performed this on TOTP, Bernard was in front of the keyboards.

Then again, I'm not sure, so please take my answer with a pinch of salt.

Johnny did some of the piano/keyboard work, (listen to Wake Up With You remix he did for PSB you can tell his piano style)

But yes my guess is that Bernard , keyboards on disappointed, Neil vocals, some string arrangements, Marr guitars.

Chris Lowe was not involved in Disappointed, only Patience of a Saint, *i think..*

Neil Tennatn was only ever involved with Electronic because Barney had just bought a new Mac with Passport on it, and couldn't make it work. Neil knew it well, that's the only reason he was involved.....baby sitting Barney.

In the studio, it was probably whoever they asked to program it in, rather than being either Bernard or Johnny. Live it was probably a tape or hard disk recorder!

It grates with me,sounds TOO pet shop boyish. Bernard on vocals might've helped?

I have no idea, but I loved it :)

I'd been (and still am) a huge fan of NO, The Smiths and PSB's so this collaboration was a match made in heaven, my humble opinion :)

I agree. I am a fan of all 3 artists. not sure who plays the keyboard on this song but my guess is Barney. I am aware he's quite proficient at keyboards.

Dont know how anyone could like Pet shop Boys,the only decent song they ever did was a cover of a 3 year old (at the time) house record.
