Music reviews of Closer to Heaven

Music Review: call me old-fashioned
Rating: 5 Stars

.. but I love this brilliant musical by the pet shop boys and jonathan harvey. music is great, beautifully recorded, lyrics are witty and moving, that is if you're not afraid of electronic music, gay sex, drug abuse and other excesses.
don't fear, there's also hope, redemption, and love conquers all in the end.

Description of Closer to Heaven

Reliving the best moments of 2001's most innovative West End musical, the Closer to Heaven soundtrack is a strange but unique mix of old and new. Jointly written by the Pet Shop Boys and Beautiful Thing writer Jonathan Harvey, the tale is set in a nightclub, and follows the romantic flings and brushes with fame of club barman Dave. Peppered with familiar but rejigged PSB B-sides ("Shameless" and "Hedonism") and album tracks ("In Denial," "Vampires," and "Closer to Heaven", all taken from 1999's Nightlife), the soundtrack also contains some newer music. Performance favorite "Call Me Old-Fashioned," sung by band manager Bob Saunders (Paul Broughton), is a classic Pet Shop Boys Euro-beat anthem. Much-loved track "Positive Role Model" closes the soundtrack, and incorporates samples of Barry White's "You're the First..." in a dance floor mel?e. While the musical and lyrical compositions typically complement Jonathan Harvey's stage play, the performance of some of the group's more familiar songs by others is rather disconcerting; the replacement of Neil Tennant's familiar deadpan presentation with the cast's occasional music hall exuberance and theatrical hamminess is at times challenging. Overall, however, this collection will surprise and delight fans of the Pet Shop Boys and provide relief for those who didn't (or did) manage to see Closer to Heaven. --John Galilee
