Great songs, disappointing remixes, February 28, 2005
This review is from: I Believe in You (Enhanced) (Audio CD)
My favorite new band, the Scissor Sisters, have hooked Kylie up with a first-class disco song on "I Believe I You." Jake Shears & Babbydaddy have concocted a knock-out piece of ear candy that captures all the elements of a great Kylie song- it's light, fun, minimalistic, & very Euro-disco. Imagine Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" re-produced by Pet Shop Boys. Like her 2003 single, "Slow," the song is so simplistic it's barely even there. Yet after 2 or 3 listens, you won't be able to deny its presence in your head.
The non-album track, "B.P.M" is a nice addition to the Kylie catalog- an energetic, upbeat dance track that could have sat comfortably on either of her last 2 albums.
As for the 2 remixes here, they are both mediocre. The Mylo vocal mix actually cuts out the chorus of the song & the Skylark mix is almost completely vocal-less, baring almost no resemblance to the original song. Pointless.
The video is included on this disc & mirrors the concept of the song: less is more. Kylie is simply standing inside a lighted globe, performing the song, looking as gorgeous as ever. Nothing groundbreaking, but fun if you're a fan.
So- skip the remixes & enjoy the rest!

A GOOD SINGLE ... But Remixes are AVERAGE..., January 10, 2005
This review is from: I Believe in You (Enhanced) (Audio CD)
I have to admit when I first heard about her new single which was released together with her ULTIMATE KYLIE x2 CD collection to date. It was so infectious and something new compared to her last album. We now see her moving into something like Pop/Techno/hip-hop together on one track. As this track is also co-written by the Scissors Sisters. This song could rush back to those late 70's and 80's club rythmn's. The remixes are okay but could've been better. BUT they are not bad at all. I think they are just filler remixes. But anyway. A good buy if your a kylie fan.

I Believe(D) In You!, September 1, 2005
This review is from: I Believe in You (Enhanced) (Audio CD)
I was so excited when I bought this single... I really love the origianl version and I was anxious to hear the remixes but I was so dissapointed, the remixes are not good that good at all...
The Mylo Vocal Mix- sounds like a video game and there's no chorus!
The Skylark Mix - is just music with her vocals saying "I believe in you, and if you ever had to go away" that's all.
Then only stand outs on the single are the original version (which you can get on THE ULTIMATE KYLIE cd) and the video which is not like a regular Kylie video but it's still nice and the picture for the cover.
