Pet Shop Boys have collaborated with Alan Turing biographer, Andrew Hodges, on a musical composition including songs, spoken word and electronic and orchestral music. Called A man from the future, the work explores eight significant chapters in the life and death of Alan Turing and will be released as an album via Parlophone Records.

Alongside music and lyrics by Pet Shop Boys is a narration, spoken by actress Juliet Stevenson, taken from Andrew Hodges’ book Alan Turing: the Enigma, which has been edited and extended by Neil Tennant and Andrew Hodges. The music is a combination of electronics and strings with string arrangements by Sven Helbig performed by the Manchester Camerata Octet. Boys from Manchester Grammar School choir also sing on four tracks. The album was produced by Pet Shop Boys and Sven Helbig.
