Kylie Minogue

i pre ordered this cd when i first heard about it on the Kylie forums. i love love love the greg kurstin remix of cant get you out of my head. another great song that should have made it to the final cut is Magnetic Electric. this song it's just fantastic just like cherry bomb and ruffle my feathers. i would recomend this cd to all of kylie fans cuz theyl enjoy the new song and the remixes

when i first got this cd, i did not like it. i had to put it away for a few months. then i started to listen to it again. she has some good pop songs on it. not her best, but i enjoy the music.

Most Kylie fans have already picked up Kylie's latest cd "X". Disc 1 is the same as the U.S. release.

Disc 2 is the find here. Instead of simply retreading on the remixes that were released already on the cd singles as it happens so many times with these re-issues, we get here 7 commercially unreleased remixes plus 2 previously released remixes from the singles and the U.S. bonus track of "All I See" featuring MIMS.

While I would have liked for the Mark Picchiotti mix of "All I See" to have been included since it is quite rare, there's still plenty here for the collectors.

Most noteably, the Freemasons Vocal Club Mix of "The One" clocking in at
9+ minutes. The promo cd for this particular track has been selling on Ebay for as high as $200, so that's worth the price here alone.

Then there are the 2 versions of "Wow" here from the promo cd and 12" vinyl singles.

Rounding out with the 4 versions of "In My Arms" with only the Sebastien Leger Remix previously available on the cd single. The Spitzer Remix will be available on the upcoming "Boombox" cd as well.

I did not initially like this CD all that much when I first listened to it. I put it on my iPod and would listen to a few tracks every now and then...my favorite track is "The One" - a really beautiful synth dance track. And I always liked "Like a Drug" which has a "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" vibe and "All I See Is You". The other tracks grew on me. I think when I saw "2 Hearts" on a TV commercial is when I thought...this is pretty good and then I started playing the whole CD on my iPod more and it clicked with me. Her sound is not particularly of the moment but it's classic pop dance music - elements of Kraftwerk and T-Rex/Goldfrapp. Really more experimental and creative than I initially thought. Fun.

This Cd is really cool. It does have a really different style from the one Kylie uses but i think it is great that she could do something different this time. 5/5 always for Kylie ^_^

In my eyes I thought this Kylie cd was a great come back for her. The cd is fantastic, full of the pop music that she is famous for.

I live in the US and was not aware of Kylie at all until this album. I grew up knowing who Madonna was and I never really liked her. So I always thought pop was a horrible style of music. But Kylie changed my perspective on the style and now i own more Kylie cds and I am totally addicted

In My Arms and Wow are the best songs on the album in my eyes. They are both fun and are great pop songs

Speakerphone and Sensitized are fantastic as well. I didn't like either of them at first but they really grew on me.

All I See is probably the worst song on the album because of how basic it is. But I still like it a lot.

No More Rain is about Kylie's fight with cancer and I really adore it. It sometimes makes me cry when i really think about what the words mean.

Stars and Cosmic seem to be the least popular. I wasn't a fan of either and thought Cosmic was really bad. But after hearing it more and more I thought both of these songs were pretty good and Cosmic is a great song for Kylie's voice.

I don't really like 2 Hearts and sounds quite strange with the oohing but it still is a fun song.

The One is becoming one of her best songs on the album. I never thought much of it until it came out as a single and now I know how fabulous it really is. A real Kylie hit.

Other songs on the album are Like A Drug, Heart Beat Rock, and Nu-di-ty. All these songs I rate as normal. They are all fun and great but nothing special.

If anyone is wondering if they should waste money on a pop album, it should be this one because you won't be sorry. Kylie comes back with a bang and these pop songs never get old.

Let's go back to 1991 when she released Let's Get To It. She tried her hands at R&B. In 2003 she revived her R&B side again with the album release of Body Language, with the hits of Slow, Red Blooded Woman and Chocolate, which was originally intended to be a duet with rapper Ludacris. Even on the album, the hit song Secret, she started to rap. As for X its has more of a R&B/Hip Hop feel.

2 Hearts: short but it was the debut single a rock song.

Like A Drug: Agressive track with catchy and sexy verses. Best song of the album.

In My Arms: more of a disco track and electronica

Speakerphone: Here we go with the hip hop side which contains samples of Lisette Melendez Together Forever and Tony Touch The Greatest DJ.

Sensatized: The 5th Song Dance diva Cathy Dennis wrote for her. It easy to recognized a Cathy Dennis track.

Heartbeat Rock: This track is simply amazing. All Rap Verses. 1/2 rap song on this album.

The One: Takes me back to Light Years with Under the Influence.

No More rain: don't Like

All I See: Like it but the remix with MIMS is even better and more of a Hip Hop Track something like Neyo would Do

Stars: Another Light Years Feel.

Wow: best dance track and this song will make you very dizzy but most of it its a fun track.

Nu-di-ty: another hip hip rap song. very sexy and cool song

Cosmic the only ballad

All the music material I knew about Minogue was Fever, which was a truly good album. I loved "Can't Get You Out of My Head" that I still keep playing it. :) I also liked "In Your Eyes," "Love at First Sight" and "Come Into My World." I loved it! Then, I heard her song "Slow" from Body Language, and I loved that song too.

She is now back from battling cancer and I think this album is also good. It is definitely a little bit "darker" than Fever but I love it. It's pure Europop! :) It's a shame the album did not do so good in the US. I believe the reason is the lack of promotion. Everywhere I read about it they say same thing and I must agree. The few interviews she did were not enough. It seemed so rushed and really did no promotion for the album. I have seen and heard her concerts are really good productions and we are missing that. Thank you (sarcastically!)! Please whoever is responsible for her promotion, get your little act together and do something. She's well known in other countries but not USA. What's wrong with you?

If you really want to listen to something different and you're tired of all that urban music or rap, I recommend you to buy this album. You will not regret it. :)

Solid dance pop. Olivia Newton-John for the new millenium. You can't go wrong with any of Kylie's CDs.

I can't think of a bad track on here. Including a video or two would have been nice, especially for "Come into my world."

I look forward to buying more of her work.

at a Fever pitch. Only needed one listen through with this cd to know that i'm all about and love me some Kylie. I have liked her as an artist for awhile now this is the first cd that i've bought of hers. But the way its going it wont be the last. It is seriously addictive and requires your full attention to get all thats happening on the cd. Its all about having fun, dancing and just doing you. Each track has a crazy beat and is something that should be played before going to a club or out on the town as it gets you in the mood for the night ahead. The only real slow track is "Burning Up" and even thats not really a slow song. But its the closest to anything like it on the cd.

Obviously the track folks will know is "Can't Get You Outta My Head" as it received lots of airplay and video play here in the States. It's just a tiny sliver of what the rest of Fever is like and it needs to be bought or downloaded (Itunes).

Enjoy i know i did and still am.

I can't stop listing to this album... is just awesome, i love it from the first time i heard the most succesful kylie's single of all the time (Can't get you out of my head)... all the fever's song are great, including the 4 singles.. all the songs are sexy, pop, dance and make you wanna go to a dancefloor...

I'm not really a big fan of pop music. I find most of the genre to be annoying. I will though make the occasional exception like with Kylie Minogue. The first time I heard Kylie was back in the '80s with her dance version of "Locomotion" with was uber cheesy. It wasn't until the late '90s and early '00s did I re-discover her through two dance classics "Light Years" and "Kylie".

Personally I prefer "Light Years over "Kylie" simply because I think the material is better. Nevertheless "Kylie" has some really solid pop songs. "Can't Get You Out of My Head" is by far the best track on the album because it is so darn catchy. Even after five years since it was unleashed on to the public, the song still sounds good as ever to me. "Fever" is another great song on the album. It's a bit slower than its predecessor but I like the pop hooks. I am still not big on "Fragile". This is when Kylie's helium-pitched vocals gets on my nerves. I also wasn't really fond of the bonus tracks. I just didn't care much for the melodies. Overall "Kylie" is a great pop album. Too bad her follow up was a real turkey for me.

Kylie Minogue is all around hotness! This CD alone was a soundtrack to my entire Summer when it came out! That was one hell of a great summer! ;-)

A must have sequel. Wonderful, entertaining and funny movie that stands on its own merit. Great to view in these days of stockmarket woes, job losses and overall gloom. At the end of a tough day, Bridget Jones can make you laugh and relax!!

I love Robbie Williams remake of Sade's "Love is King". This CD has a great list of songs you'll want to listen to over and over again!

What about the song that was playing when Bridget was in the water tripping on mushrooms? I LOVE that song! And I don't know the name of it or who does it. I listen to the clips here and it's not there!

Anyone know the name/artist for this song???

I actually got this CD because I LOVED the song "I Eat Dinner (When the hunger's gone)" when I heard it in the movie, and was so pleasantly surprised by the remainder of the soundtrack - I really enjoy Jamelia's 'Stop', and Mary J. Blige's cover of "Sorry seems to be the hardest word" is truly a portrait of painful sadness... I could go on about each song, but overall this soundtrack truly accomplishes what it set out to do - which is to tell the story of Bridget through song.... and it's A LOT of fun to listen to along the way!

Good mix of music from different genres with some songs "covered" by newer artists. They do a good job of re-doing ths songs in their own way without losing the original integrity of the song. Fun to listen to in the car while dealing with rush hour!

What I love about Kylie is that she is never serious. So pop this in and dance about.

Although I do not believe this to be Kylie's best work, it's still fun and really worth a listen. This is her come back album right after Impossible Princess which failed. She changed her sound to this late 70's disco sound and really went with it the whole way. The songs are not the most dance worthy I have ever heard, and the pop goes in to generic territory at times, but some of this stuff is genius. For example, Your Disco Needs You might be one of the most genius songs I have ever heard, not to mention great to dance too. Disco Down is also a great song. On the other hand, Spinning Around, Please Stay, and Kids with Robbie Williams, which were all singles, do not measure up to the rest of this CD. Althought this CD is uneven it is still worth a listen and it has the fun factor.

The Key Tracks Are: Your Disco Needs You, Disco Down, So Now Goodbye, Light Years, and Butterfly.

This album is really fun and upbeat. In my opinion, the best tracks are singles "Spinning Around", "On a Night Like This", "Please Stay" and "Butterfly", which all rate 11/10; but that doesn't mean that the rest of the album is bad at all. All the other tracks are 9/10s except for "Bittersweet Goodbye" and "Kids" which seem out-of-place on this album. I give them both 8/10.

If you're into music with more meaning and depth, check out the albums "Impossible Princess" and "Kylie Minogue" instead. If you're having a dance party, throw on this album (along with "Fever") and dance all night long!

There are only 2 good songs on this album: "Spinning Around" and "On a Night Like This". Both are availible on her "Ultimate Kylie" compilation, so there's no need to purchase this album. Well, "Love Boat" is also okay, but you don't NEED to own it.

Being an American, sometimes we don't "get" British pop, it always seems too cheesy (ie NOT COOL) to even be promoted or released here. Unfortunatley, La Minogue falls into that catergory. Kylie burst onto the scene in the States back in '87 with a remake of "The Locomotion" and had a semi-hit with "I Should Be So Lucky" as her follow-up single but then, to U.S audiences, she dropped out of sight. THIS COULD NOT BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH! Kylie kept on recording albums and had international hits all over the world after her disappering act here in the States. When she seemingly made a U.S comeback with "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", I rediscovered Kylie and her complete (and lengthy) discography. After I bought "Fever", I got the "Live In Sydney" dvd and didn't know one song and was very disappointed. Finally, I found the "Light Years" cd and it all fell into place. I fell in love with this CD! There's not many cds I can listen to from start to finish and, this one falls into this catergory! "LY" was considered Kylie's comeback album after some unusual choices she made after her stint as a pop puppet with PWL (ie The Locomotion, etc). With LY, Kylie got back to her pop roots and with no apologizies. This isn't a cd for everyone. It's camp with a captiol 'C' and makes no bones about it! It's not a deep record. It's a dance record! Music can and should be fun and Kylie gets that!

All in all, Light Years is a great POP record. Don't read too much into it. If you want thought provoking songs, buy something else! This is all about poolside, cocktails and disco dancing. Kylie does it better than anyone out there today. Join the Kylie Army....come on! Kylie needs you!!

I'm a moderate fan of Kylie Mingogue - her 2000 release Light Years still stands as one of the best pop releases of the decade - but this attempt at going R'n'B is, frankly, bloody awful, and since the release of the career review "Ultimate Kylie" the album stands as completely pointless.

Why it turned out so bad is a bit of a puzzle, because it begins so well. Slow is one of the most groovy and funky tracks she's ever did, and accompagned by a mighty sexy video (one of the best she ever did!) the album could not get have a better launch. However, from here, it turns into one long nightmarish ride through poorly written and poorly produced slick R'n'B tracks with heavy beats and no hooks.

Well, with one notable example. As surprising as the decline in quality after Slow, Red Blooded Woman lies as a diamond in a pile of junk, sparkling, glittering, and having everything the rest of the album seems to lack: Charm, hook, melody, quality. Not surprisingly, this track was picked as second single and faired excellent (in spite of an awfully boring video).

Chocolate, third single from the album, has all the potential to shine on the dull backdrop that the rest of this album forms, but never really takes off for me. It's quite plain and mediocre, which, however, still makes it better than the rest of the album. I guess Loving Days is the only other none-single track which bears singular mention, as it has actualyl a nice melody. In fact, this is a better track than Chocolate for me, albeit marred by poor vocal production. Apart from this track, I'd say all tracks worth having on this album is also on "Ultimate Kylie".

If you want to look into Kylie's album catalogue beyond collections like "Ultimate Kylie", for God's sake don't start here. Go pick up the sparkling Light Years that contains only keeper tracks (and about a handful of obvious singles that were never released!). 1997's Impossible Princess (later retitled: Kylie Minogue) is another interesting place to start, and even the recent 'X' actually is a good (albeit uneven) listen.

If you must get an impression of what this album's about, I advice you instead to pick up the DVD from the Album Launch at the Apollo Theatre. At least this DVD will offer you the live version of Breathe / Je T'aime, which although not exactly amazing, does form a marginally interesting listen.

fab. "sweet music" along with "disco down" (from 2000's impeccable 'light years) remain my two all.time favourite kylie tracks. the outtakes/b.sides/rarities from the 'body' period are equally impressive. i always see less than stellar reviews for this particular effort from kylie; i will admit that "slow" was not the best choice for a lead.off single ("red.blooded woman" would have definitely done more proper and dance chart damage. along with her current a++ album 'x' and the aforementioned 'light years', makes a tight as her arse 3.way tie for best kylie full.length EVAHHHHH (and no, kids, i haven't forgotten about THE greatest full.on POP record of the nineties--'rhythm of love').

I'm really surprised this CD didn't get higher ratings because it truly is an awesome CD. The songs range from slow & sexy to club dance and where most artists have CDs with one hit accompanied by a few songs that are marginally OK, this CD is good from beginning to end. I cannot tell you how long it has been since I purchased a CD that I was happy with but this one hit the mark. In my personal opinion, I think it's even better than Fever.

Kylie has her own style that cannot be compared. Don't let the fact that this came out a few years ago throw you because it sounds better than anything that's out there now.

I'll start off by saying I'm a huge Minogue sisters fan, so I really tried to love BODY LANGUAGE. But just because I'm a fan doesn't mean I'm going to throw in the words `Stunning' and `must own' just because the Minogue name is stamped on the cover. In fact the term `grower' may be too generous for some of the tracks.

I don't want to write Kylie off for trying something new - in fact it's what I love about the sisters. But I'm afraid to say Min has missed the mark this time round. The direction was ok (but dare I say it? At times it comes a little too close to someone's superior GIRL & NEON NIGHTS albums), but too much thought went into the style and not the substance. There were no catchy sing-along tracks.

In fact, when it comes to the track list, apart from the singles `Slow', `Red Blooded Woman', and `Chocolate' (Only above average), I'm hard pushed to remember any of the songs. I can remember `Obsession' & 'Loving Days' are also above average, though they don't yell hit. And I only remember `Secret (Take You Home)' for Kylie's `rapping'. The rest of the album isn't bad; it's just boring which is just as disappointing for someone I admire so much.

The US release has 2 bonus songs `You Make Me Feel' & `Cruise Control'. Both songs are better then 2/3 of the regular tracks, but they aren't anything to get excited about either.



A nice try, but Kylie tried too hard to be different for the sake of being different. I think that to grow & change you have to have low points to learn from. Never mind, I'm sure her 10th album will make up for this.

kylie minogue's body language is a great album with great dance music. you will wantto move your body when you listen to it.songs like slow,choclate,red blooded woman,and after dark will make you dance. i can't wait to see what kylie does next. ed wilson

After a few times listening to Kylie's first CD, it may begin to seem like a radical departure from the usual pop music fare circa 1988. Exceedingly well-played and arranged island-inflected soft funk beats drive and/or massage over half of the songs. The other tracks boast a finely mastered assortment: a strong remake of "The Locomotion", an exquisitely fine jazz-inflected R & B song, another where R & B and island funk are melded in an uncannily expressive fashion, and so on.

1. "I Should Be So Lucky"
A good story-song. Kind of an innocent, bubbly send-up, it's very energetic, and at the same time quite sweet. The video is very fun to watch, with its girl-next-door flavor on display all the way through.
4 stars
[video on `Ultimate Kylie' DVD: 5 stars]

2. "The Loco-Motion" Kylie really nails this - it's a fabulous remake of the great Little Eva classic from 1962!
4½-5 stars.

3. "Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi"
Here the backing tracks' mix is a total gem - full of surprising, expressive rhythmic touches - for this medium tempo, gentler type of song. After an initial learning curve, it seems to get better every time you hear how Kylie's exhortations fit in and around the rhythmic groove (likewise how the groove fits around and inside her singing). The rhythm and overall style seems to be broadly based in zouk (dance music from Guadalupe/Martinique, islands in the French Caribbean, by way of Paris).
5++++ stars;
[video on `Ultimate Kylie' DVD: 5+ stars]

4. "It's No Secret"
This song continues the exploration of island-inflected beats. With strong, broadly swinging syncopations, this one seems to hearken to reggae-soca (a blending of Jamaican reggae and Trinidadian dance music). And this one's unbelievably passionate. Great, great songwriting (form, rhythm, melody, backing tracks) and soulful playing/singing all the way through!
5++++ stars

5. "Got To Be Certain"
Continues the exploration of island inflected beats - this one appears to be a severely funk-inflected soca, with an overall subtle zouk influence as well; feel the relaxed passion/emotion of K's singing! The melody's in a major key this time, with a kind of high-blown airy feel to it.
5++++ stars.

6. "Turn It Into Love"
Continues the uncanny fusion of island beats and song forms. This unbelievably passionate song/arrangement is seemingly in a driving straight 8 (time signature); but the placement and accenting of notes of the rhythmic synth groove coupled with undulating, syncopated melodic/harmonic lines send this into a high heaven-on-earth feel. Great techno/synth sounds in the mix; great melodic revolutions, unbelievable vocal arrangement - bravo to all the singers - what a blend!
5++++ stars

7. "I Miss You"
Here's still another unbelievably passionate song/arrangement, this one being jazzy-inflected R & B - the backing tracks are unbelievably good - smooth and soulful - everything fits like a glove, the backup singers especially. Their harmonies and tonal palette are intensely dreamy, and creamy.
5++++ stars.

8. "I'll Still Be Loving You"
Beautiful reggae-inflected R & B, with well-placed funk seasoning; again, how they got these rhythms (etc.) to fuse so perfectly is a complete marvel. The melody, composition, back-up harmonies continue to thoroughly amaze!
The finest imaginable at 5 stars ++++.

9. "Look My Way": a glorious somewhat up-tempo R & B song. This sounds perfectly at home in the constellation of late-80's music, when it was created. The only caveat here is that Kylie's singing is a little more strident-sounding than it probably should be. The back-ground singers sound too much more relaxed and this produces kind of a clash. My vote would be to have had Kylie's delivery toned down, as the back-ups sound perfect. This was an error on the part of the producers, not the singers (including Kylie).
4½ stars.

10. "Love At First Sight"
(Note that this is an entirely different song from the one of the same title from her 8th CD: `Fever')
This begins with a very tasty (and funky) syncopated soca-driven horn intro. But what's kind of weird is how simplistic (and repetitious) the melodies are: mostly up 4 notes and back down (in both sections), with minimal ornamentation, etc. Maybe this is an attempt to recapitulate the melodic movement of track #1 (which is, however, somewhat more varied and interesting), over a more busily moving rhythm track. Kylie and the other singers clearly make the best of it, and if the listener will be a little bit forgiving, and let the blending of the beats, the singing and other sonic events carry the day, the song might just clock in at 5 stars, otherwise you might have to rate it a 4, or even a 3. Overall the song works quite well, considering.

I've been a Kylie fan since the early Neighbours' days and this was my first ever album on vinyl. I saw it here on CD and I had to buy it!! Sounds great in the car and the songs are very reflective of my own experiences so it's nice to know there's someone out there who can put it all into a song and make circumstances seem less painful than what they really are!

When Kylie released her first album back in 1988, (Kylie) many were quick to say she was just another 'flash in the pan.' What they did not know, was her career would still be going to this day...

This 10-track fun pop album is the lime-light. They are great and fun upbeat tunes and very memorable. The kids that know this album may find their parents singing to the songs in the car and the window is open and, it's highly embarrassing!

Anyway, this is pure-pop Kylie at her younger states, when she was in Neighbours. This album includes the first single here in the UK, I Should Be So Lucky and the first #1 in Australia, The Loco-motion, which stayed at the top for 7 weeks!

I Should Be So Lucky was a #1 for Kylie here in the UK and more favourites Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi, The Locomotion and Got To Be Certain were #2's for Kylie. Turn It Into Love and It's No Secret, however, were very popular singles in Japan! Turn It Into Love immediately went to #1 and It's No Secret hit #4!

So all the first 6 songs from this album were singles some where in the world. The last 4 are also very good. The stand-outs for the last 4 songs are definately I Miss You and Look My Way. There are slightly more mature than other 'hits' on the album. As is I'll Still Be Loving You, a beautiful ballad that made me cry for the first time in any song when I listened to it.

This leaves just one more song, Love At First Sight. It is definately the weakest song on the album and is certainly not the hit that appeared on her Fever album, later on in her career. It's not as good as that or the other songs on the album, nevertheless, still an excellent song.

Futhermore, this album went straight to #1 on the UK Charts, it also spent an amazing 67 weeks on the UK Top 100 Albums Chart! This was aslo just 3 weeks off her extremely popular album Fever, which spent 70 weeks on the UK Top 100 Albums Chart! This just shows how great Kylie really is!

Kylie's first album starts with two ever green "I Should Be So Lucky" and "The Loco-Motion". The next songs are not bad either. "Je Ne Sais Pourquoi" (peaceful love song), "It's No Secret", and "Got to Be Certain"...there's videos all of the 5 first songs. four of them were singles "I Should..." (number 1 in UK), "Loco-Motion" (number 2 in UK), "Got to Be Certain" (number 2 in UK), and "Je Ne Sais Pourquoi" (number 2 in UK). "Turn It Into Love" has great pop sound. It is a shame that it hasn't been released as a single. The four last ones aren't so good. "I Miss You", "Look My Way", "Love at First Sight" (not the one that was released as a single...that was in Fever -album) are too basic pop. "I'll Still Be Loving You" has great lyrics and Kylie has a lovely voice but it isn't my big favourites either.
Stars: Turn It Into Love, Got to Be Certain, I Should Be So Lucky

I still love Kylie's first album. Although it got attention because of her remake of Little Eva's '60s hit, The Locomotion (people just LOVE those remakes, that "Oh My God, I remember that song!" reaction), the rest of the album is more exciting and fun. I have played It's No Secret, Turn It Into Love, Look My Way (which sounds like the Whispers' Rock Steady), I Miss You, I Should Be So Lucky and others. The one weak song of this album is Love At First Sight. It sounds too kid-like for her.
As fun, catchy and addictive as it is, it is a Stock-Aitken-Waterman production. Those three produced entire albums for Rick Astley, Bananarama, Donna Summer, and some songs for others. The music has a tendency to be repetitive, and some songs here from '88 are similar to the ones they did for Astley and Summer. Their clash of keyboard heavy melody, shades of late '70s disco and '80 dance in their sound made for a unique formula. One must ask how nonstop it was for them to make 40, 50 or 60 different songs for these artists in that successful period. But you wouldn't know it from dancing to all of it. Kylie's first album was really the setup for more complex songs like her '90s albums and her most recent successful albums of Kylie and Body Language.

If you are a new Kylie fan, or just want somewhere to start, try here...This cd is a collection of most of Kylie's hits released between 1988 & 1998. All her best are included here, such as her trademark hit "Better The Devil You Know", "The Locomotion", "I Should Be So Lucky", "Hand On Your Heart, "Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi", "Confide In Me", as well as rare & unreleased remixes, and b-sides. Included inside is a list of all the singles & release dates, along with some gorgeous photos. GREAT BUY!!!!

From the first note to the last, this album says it all!!! Here are 34 reasons why Kylie is the worldwide lord of dance and queen of pop!!!

Encompassing her SAW/PWL/Hit Factory days ("I Should Be So Lucky", "Got To Be Certain") and DeConstruction era ("Breathe," "Put Yourself In My Place"), not a beat is skipped! Although MASSIVELY successful overseas, Kylie showcases a wealth of talent throughout this collection that the US has underestimated and underappreciated. Furthermore, her covers of American trademark singles "The Loco-Motion," "Give Me Just A Little More Time," "Celebration" and Tears On My Pillow" are more proof of Kylie's stunning voice and incredible talent! This compilation perfectly serves as an encyclopedic volume of Kylie's career. As a bonus, this set is a non-stop DJ stash.

Although all tracks are phenomenal, highlights include "Got To Be Certain," "Hand On Your Heart," "Wouldn't Change A Thing," "Confide In Me," "Finer Feelings" and "Breathe".

Encompassing her SAW/PWL/Hit Factory days ("I Should Be So Lucky", "Got To Be Certain") and DeConstruction era ("Breathe," "Put Yourself In My Place"), not a beat is skipped! Although MASSIVELY successful overseas, Kylie showcases a wealth of talent throughout this collection that the US has underestimated and underappreciated. Furthermore, her covers of American trademark singles "The Loco-Motion," "Give Me Just A Little More Time," "Celebration" and Tears On My Pillow" are more proof of Kylie's stunning voice and incredible talent! This compilation perfectly serves as an encyclopedic volume of Kylie's career. As a bonus, this set is a non-stop DJ stash.

Take out all the remix, radio edit, 2002, espana mix etc and 12 inch selections (comes to 13) and you have a great single cd recording that new comers to K M would buy.

To me, they are unnecessary and not as good as the regular songs.

Worse, they are mixed in with the regular songs.

People wanting the alternative mixes would probably buy a cd of such, and probably have all the regular cuts.

By the way, why does Amazon include a 'NO' in 'was this review helpful to you?'. People are only human and don't like opinions that differ from themselves. With some who are less mature, this the 'NO' makes it too easy express such displeasure.

Are they trying to discourage negative reviews, hence not purchase the CD. Such reviews only help a person in not being dissatisfied a product that received positive reviews

I'm a big Kylie fan and this CD is my favourite. Almost all songs on CD1 is great and CD2 is good but some of the remixes are sadly not that good. Buy this now and enjoy.
