5.0 out of 5 stars Kylie: Reissued and Remixed, October 21, 2003

By

This review is from: Greatest Hits 87-97 (Audio CD)

Kylie Minogue.....it is strange to think that she started out as the "I Should Be So Lucky" teen queen that grew into the "Feel The Fever" pop icon she is today. This collection was released over 10 years ago, but since Kylie's worldwide popularity as grown since the release of 2000's LIGHT YEARS and 2001's FEVER, PWL wanted to cash in again I guess. This collection represents the best of late 1980's and early 1990's dance music produced by the Stock/Aitken/Waterman production team. As with many a pop artist Kylie eventually grew out of touch with the S/A/W team and left for the trendy DeConstruction dance label in 1993. The stand-out tracks from the 1980's include her first world-wide hit in 1987, the joyous "I Should Be So Lucky", "Locomotion", and "Got To Be Certain" from 1988's KYLIE. The sweet "Hand On Your Heart", "Wouldn't Change A Thing", and "Never Too Late" from 1989's ENJOY YOURSELF album. As the Kylie entered the 1990's she released four singles that have defined her career through it's many up and downs. The first being her undying dance classic "Better The Devil You Know" which marked the first appearence of "Sex Kylie" with the song's stylish video clip. The Second being the funky "Step Back In Time" with its heart stuck in that 1970's groove. The third single from 1990's classic RHYTHM OF LOVE being the epic remix of "What Do I Have To Do?". And the last offical single being the DNA remix of "Shocked" which improves on the original while keeping some of the original elements. By 1991, Kylie was growing out of synch with S/A/W and PWL records and it is reflected in 1991's LET'S GET TO IT. The first single the urban/jazzy "Word Is Out" still holds up really well considering it age. The ballad with Keith Washington "If You Were With Me Now" is in my opinon Kylie's best effort of balladery during the PWL years. "Give Me Just A Little More Time" and "Finer Feelings" with the latter being remixed with future collaborators the Brothers In Rhythm, make the song a memborable fan favorite giving the song a more middle-eastern style flair. All-in-all, this collection is a good reminder of what made Kylie..."Kylie". Each song is remastered and sounds as good or better than it did 10 years ago. I would also recomend the 2000 release HITS +, which highlights Kylie's "indie" period during the DeConstruction years (1994-1998). Also, pick up 2000's LIGHT YEARS and 2001's FEVER in which Kylie returns to the sound that made her famous...Dance Pop. And more thing, Kylie is about to release her ninth studio album BODY LANGUAGE, with the first single being the hypnotic "Slow". The Album will be released in the US in early February 2004.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Kylie, May 21, 2005

By 

Tom (Toronto) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Greatest Hits 87-97 (Audio CD)

This is an excellent compilation if you are interested in discovering Kylie's early work before she became a superstar with hits like 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' and 'Slow'.

This covers Kylie's first ten years of making pop music, and if you think she does it well now, her early stuff is equally good.

This two-disc compilation features classics like 'I Should Be So Lucky', 'Better the Devil You Know', 'Shocked', 'What Do I Have To Do?', 'Step Back In Time' and her covers of 'Celebration', 'The Locomotion' and 'Give Me A Little More Time'.

It also features Kylie's underrated material for the Deconstruction label, including 'Confide In Me' and 'Did It Again'; songs considered more avant-garde for Kylie, yet they are perfect pop masterpieces with slightly more edge than we would expect from Kylie.

There are also a number of bonus remixes, making this a generous compilation.

I agree with Thunderhexed that although there is 'Ultimate Kylie' out there, this collection is equally listenable. 'Ultimate Kylie' only gives a fair sampling of Kylie's early work while focusing more on her post-2000 career.

Kylie has amassed an impressive body of work, and I highly recommend this collection. In fact, I consider it one of Kylie's essential CDs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing CD with many great songs, June 6, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Greatest Hits 87-97 (Audio CD)

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.
