5.0 out of 5 stars Cool Coward, January 19, 2000

A great CD. The artists and the songs are a perfect match. Texas and Pet Shop Boys really shine on this one. I've been listening to it non-stop and each time I find something new to admire. This tribute would make Coward proud. Neil Tennant has pulled together all the elements and has helped produce a memorable CD.

As someone who was introduced to noel coward by the pet shop boys, ("if love were all"), I think this is a great album and can only help to introduce more people, previously unaware or unfamiliar with coward, to his work. if we only listened to the snobs, coward's music would be dead, as would classical and opera, all of which i listen to and was introduced to by the more "popular" artists. How do the music snobs know that this cd would kill an already dead noel coward? Maybe he'd be thrilled with it! The best songs on the album are the beautiful "Sail Away" by the event's organisers, the Pet Shop Boys; "There are Bad Times Just Around the Corner," by Robbie Williams, and Divine Comedy's "Marvelous Party," which reminded me a little of Underworld's "Born Slippy." The worst performance has to be the one phoned in by Sting. Elton John's cut was a bit disappointing as well. But all in all, it was a delightful collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars A pop surprise, March 4, 2001

I think this compilation is marvelous. With covers by the Pet Shop Boys, Marianne Faithfull, Robbie Williams, Sting, Elton John, and a host of others, this CD is pure pop pleasure. I bought it for the Robbie Williams track, and I've found every track enchanting. If you like the "Red Hot +" CDs, then this will certainly suit your fancy.
