A Kid's Review

This review is from: Kylie Minogue (Spec) (Audio CD)

This double album is excellent.Disc 1 is the original album and Disc 2(Bonus Disc)is full of remixes and a few b-sides.It also includes the French version of "Confide in me",which was only available on the Japanese version of this album.

Disc 1 tracklisting:

1.Confide in me(5.51)2.Surrender(4.25)3.If I was your lover(4.44)4.Where is the feeling?(6.58)5.Put yourself in my place(4.54)6.Dangerous Game(5.30)7.Automatic Love(4.45)8.Where has the love gone?(7.45)9.Falling(6.42)10.Time will pass you by(5.26)

I Don't really need to say much about these because all 10 songs are a masterpiece!!!!

Bonus Disc Tracklisting:

1.Dangerous Overture(1.19)2.Confide in me-Justin Warfield mix(5.27)3.Put yourself in my place-Dan's Old School mix(4.30)4.Where is the feeling?-Acoustic Version(4.50)5.Nothing Can Stop Us(4.05)6.Love is waiting(4.48)7.Time Will pass you by-Paul masterson mix(7.33)8.Where is the feeling?-West end TKO mix(8.11)9.Falling-Alternative Mix(8.39)10.Confide in me-Big brothers mix(10.28)11.Surrender-Talking Soul mix(4.25)12.Put yourself in my place-Acoustic Version(4.46)13.If you don't love me-Acoustic Version(2.10)14.Confide in me-French version(5.54)

The Justin Warfeild mix of "Confide in me" is very hip-hop heavy weight and is excellent.The Dan's old school mix of "Put yourself in my place" gets a total make-over!!!-one of the high spots on here.Check out the Acoustic versions for "Where is the feeling?,Put yourself in my place" and "If you Don't love me".Those are brilliant.The B-Sides "Nothing can stop us" and "Love is waiting" are very good."Nothing can stop us" is very interesting.The Paul Masterson mix of "Time will pass you by" is very very very good.The West end TKO mix of "Where is the feeling?"-OH MY GOD!!!! Did kylie really do this?...It is fabulous.The "falling" alternative mix is good-a bit of extendence in there and a giggle at the end of the mix,which wasn't found on the original version.The Big Brothers mix of "confide in me" goes on for more than 10 minutes and is very cool because it includes part of "Dangerous game" where kylie sings "Wake up baby,give yourself to me.I'm the one for you,I'll show you intimacy.Forever,no question,unbridle my affection.And you will feel my love explode in your direction".This remix presents you with a dub version,still good though.The talking soul mix of "Surrender" leaves kylie talking through the whole song and the beat is more R'N'B style,this time.Then the last track,the french version of "Confide in me".At last...Waiting is over and we get to here it on our remastered edition.Excellent work,kylie.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Kylie Goes Indie", February 13, 2007

By 

Creature of the Night (New York, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kylie Minogue (Spec) (Audio CD)

That was the title of almost all news about Kylie in 1994! After P/W/L years, Kylie released "Confide In Me" as her first single from self titled album. It was a shock for those who were waiting for a new PWL production track. So, the first single of the album received both positive and negative criticism from authorities.
As a Kylie fan, i can honestly say that this is my favorite Kylie album. The down tempo tracks such as "Automatic Love" , "Dangerous Game" and "Put Yourself In My Place" are the songs where you can hear Kylie's incredible vocals best. I was like "OMG" when i first heard these songs. Confide In Me is another bend of the album where Kylie really "goes" indie pop and succeeds it. The amazing "Surrender" is another cool song which follows Confide In Me and makes you wanna listen to it over and over again. The rest of the album is also full of Kylie's experimental songs such as "Falling","Where Has The Love Gone?" which makes you feel like you're chillin' after a party. "Where Is The Feeling?" and "Time Will Pass You By" are the other amazing songs where you can hear Kylie's vocal at her best.
The bonus CD also includes cool remixes of the tracks i've mentioned above. Justin Warfield's "Confide In Me" remix, Dangerous Overture, and acoustic sessions from Kylie with songs such as "If You Don't Love Me" and "Put Yourself In My Place" are rarities which you can hear only from this CD. On the first impulse, i can recommend this album to all Kylie Minogue fans as a must or to guys who misses 90's and wants to listen to some good pop music. Because this album is where you can find "too much of a good thing".

4.0 out of 5 stars 1994 Studio Album, April 26, 2006

This review is from: Kylie Minogue (Spec) (Audio CD)

Between 1988- 1992, Australian Pop diva, Kylie Minogue notched up a series of U.K Top 10 smash hits (4 of those going to No.1) on the PWL record label, under the guidance of Stock, Aikten And Waterman.

However in 1993 she left the label and completely re-invented herself, signing to the dance label, Deconstruction. In mid 1994 she returned to the charts with the hauntingly atmospheric, Confide In Me, which still stands as one of her most compelling recordings. Kylies vocal delivery had clearly improved since the days of I Should Be So Lucky and now had a neat little sound of her own going on. Confide In Me with its mesmerising musical arrangements, quickly catapulted to No.2 on the U.K charts. (however she has never really cracked the American market though has indeed gathered up a series of loyal fans over there).

Surrender is a funky slice of Pop where Kylies delivery is breathy and seamless and really brings out the natural qualities in her voice. The multi-talented, Prince produced the funky, swinging, If I Were Your Lover, which is uplifting in its tone and was worthy of a single release with its striking mixture of musical arrangements.

The fantastic dance cut, Where Is The Feeling?, is of significant musical value. Merrily bouncy, the track features an uplifting performance from its star which coats the infectious rhythm. Put Yourself In My Place is a more mid-tempo track where again her true vocal abilities gets chance to shine brightly.

What stands as one of the albums highlight is the breathtakingly beautiful ballad, Dangerous Game, with its compelling musical arrangments to Kylies sensual and exuberant vocal delivery. The track leads to an exalting climax on which she sounds utterly fabulous. Kylie proves she certainly can indeed hold a note on the sensational, Automatic Love where her performance is assertive and vastly solid.

The album then scores one of its ultimate highlights with the fantastic Dance/Pop track, Where Has The Love Gone? which again leads to an exalting climax and is so jamming and infectious with its arrangements. More mesmerising is the hypnotic, trance-like tone of Falling, which features an angelic performance from its star.

What then appears to be leading up to a grand final, is let down by the surprisingly lacklustre, Time Will Pass You By, which was produced by 1990's pop sensation, M People, which was fronted by Heather Small. Its average enough but lacks spark and the dynamic force of the rest of the album.

Still, all in all, this album refreshingly revitalised Kylies recording career and is amongst the divas greatest accomplishments. It became a big seller in the U.K though received little recognition in the U.S. A classic in her repotoire.
