"Minimal" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys from their ninth studio album, Fundamental (2006).

[5] The B-side "In Private" is a new version of a song originally written for Dusty Springfield, this time recorded as a duet between Neil Tennant and Elton John and remixed by Stuart Crichton.

[7] It was Parlophone's preferred lead single after the Pet Shop Boys' suggestion of "The Sodom and Gomorrah Show" was rejected.

[8] The lyrics, built around a chant of "M-I-N-I-M-A-L", are an abstract description of expressions of minimalism, such as "more is less" and "an empty box, an open space".

[10][11] It features a pair of dancers (Keir and Thailai Knight)[12] manoeuvering to form the letters of the chorus, while Tennant and Lowe perform in front of a light display.
