4.0 out of 5 stars Re-inventing Kylie, May 23, 2002

Prior to Kylie's 2000 career revival, she released two albums under the dance label, Deconstruction. Though contrary to the title of the album as the songs weren't exactly hits, they present the best of Kylie in the past decade or so. Breaking free from the Stock-Aitken-Waterman factory, the sexy gal glamed herself up, released her first proper dance hit Confide in Me which reached #2 on the UK chart. A sensual song revelled in mystism, the lady followe up with one of her best hits ever, the sexy mid-tempo Put Yourself In My Place, a very favorite of mine. It didn't hurt when Kylie was orbiting nude in space in the video. Other gems from the album simply titled Kylie Minogue includes Where Is The Feeling and Automatic Love, a collaboration with Pet Shop Boys. A duet with Nick Cave also lent more credibility to Kylie.

Kylie went experimental on Impossible Princess (re-titled Kylie Minogue due to Princes Diana's untimely death) in 1997, working with some of the best in the industry including a member of the Maniac Street Preachers. the album was a mix of modern dance and electronic coolness and Kylie shines on Did It Again and another career milestone Breathe.

Other gems found here include several unreleased tracks that were b-sides to the released songs. Though a blatant cash-in on the part of the record company, it's a good way for old and new fans to own all these songs on one CD. Unfortunately, the US edition left out the Nick Cave collaboration Where The Wild Roses Grow and This Girl.

Buy this to discover Kylie! You wont be disappointed. You wont get Kylie out of ur head!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Hits Plus (Audio CD)

This rare Kylie Collection of hits,is from her first two deconstruction albums,Kylie Minogue '94 and Impossible Princess,both now available as remastered versions.Kylie has come a long way - buy other albums,Light Years,Fever and Recent album Body Language to see how far kylie has come.This is not the 'old' kylie,where we saw hits like I Should be So Lucky.Locomotion,Got To Be Certain,Hand On Your Heart etc... This was the introduction to a new kylie.At the 1993 Brit awards,kylie announced that she'd signed up wuth the label 'Deconstruction' - a rare dance company and one of the best around.My Version of Hits+,has 16 tracks on it - not 14.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some kind of bliss, October 12, 2002

I have been a huge fan of Kylie Minogue since I heard "Light Years" almost two years ago, before anyone in this country has rediscovered Kylie with "Can't Get You Out Of My Head". I wasn't sure if I wanted to get "Hits Plus" but when I saw that I haven't heard the majority of the songs, I decided to buy it. I am rather disappointed that on the copy that I have didn't include her duet with Nick Cave "Where the Wild Roses Grow" from Nick's album "Murder Ballads". That is truly one of Kylie's best songs although it is a duet. I believe the version of "Hits Plus" that includes "Where the Wild Roses Grow" is on the import version. Anyways, all of the songs on "Hits Plus" are songs prior to "Light Years" when Kylie's music was less popular than today. The only songs I have heard on this cd is "Some Kind of Bliss", "Did It Again", and "Did It Again", and "Breathe". Those songs are from "Impossible Princess", probably my personal favorite Kylie cd. The rest of the album is new to me. A lot of the older songs have that jazz/torch influence. They don't sound anything like what I have heard on "Impossible Princess", "Light Years", and "Fever". There some excellent club tracks like "Tears" and "Put Yourself In My Place". My one problem with this album is that towards the ends of the album, the songs started to sound alike. I think it could have been shorter but that is just my opinion. Overall, this is a really good compilation of Kylie's earlier songs pre-"Light Years" and "Fever".
