4 out of 5 stars Only Wish It Had Crossed The Atlantic.......2005-06-18

"Closer To Heaven" has a wonderful score & is a great "first attempt" by the Pet Shop Boys into theatre. The songs are beutifully produced and contain thoughtful lyrics. A couple of the songs are "so-so", but most of the score is great! Best songs include:

Something Special
Closer To Heaven [a terrific ballad version of their "nightlife version]
For All Of Us
Positive Role Model

Despite this being a theatrical score, it plays like a great pop cd. I only wish the production would have played in the U.S. as I would have loved to see it!

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely fabulous!!!.......2004-05-14

The music and the design for the show were phenomenal. Yes, like any other musical, it presents itself with a `drag'. But this musical takes a twist that Mr. Rice would love to contrive. Most of the music is a remake and re-constructed. The only songs which was totally 70's was "Out of my system". The rest of the show and music was incredible. With over nine years of theater musical direction, I only wish that I had the finances to re-design/re-construct the show and tour it through America.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Pop Album Of Recent Years.......2002-07-07

This is simply classic pop. The fact that PSB don't perform the songs here isn't too critical: It actually provides more variety to the album. Buy it even if you are not a PSB fan and haven't seen the musical(i didn't see the musical).
1 My Night(10)- Brilliant start. Classic PSB pop song with a great funny vocal by a female singer and a nice twist as the whole cast joins in. Great mixture of a pop and musical.
2 Something Special(8)- Full of Heart.
3 Closer To Heaven(8) Romantic.
4 In Denial(8)- Upbeat song.
5 Call Me Old Fashioned(10)- Funny, marvelours pop. Classic PSB.
6 Nine Out Ten(8)- 8 out of ten actually. Nice duet.
7 Caligula(10)- More funny Euphoric pop from the female vocalist of the first song. She's great.
8 Hedonism(Instrumental)(10)- Great dance instrumental. Relentless style.
9 Friendly Fire(8)- Good tune and lyrics. Sad song.
10 Shameless(8)- Great song, but in this case only it falls from the original PSB performance(most of the songs here are completely new).
11 Vampires(6)- Every silver lining has a clowd... Yeah, i know it should be opposite. Didn't like this one on Nightlife as well.
12 Closer To Heaven(8)- Different version.
13 Out Of My System(4)- Awful. Doens't sound PSB at all with the annoying Cher sample. Sounds like Posh Spice Out Of My Mind.
14 K-Hole(8). A Mysterious instrumental. Nice.
15 For All Of Us(10)- Awesome. Emotional. Brilliant. Perfect. Get The Picture?
16 Closer To heaven(8)- Short this time, but nice. Very Sad indeed!
17 Positive Role Model(8)- Barry White sample(My First, My Last: Ally Mcbeal). Very nice.
To sum it up: Brilliant.
