Dazzling Dance Dannii, December 8, 2004
This review is from: Remixes (Audio CD)
Forgo the 'Singles' collection and head straight for this compilation of remixes of Dannii's early hits. The remixes of the early 90s hits are more fun than substantive, particularly the mixes of 'Jump to the Beat', 'This is It' and 'Get Into You', but you'll enjoy the sugary dance beats combined with Dannii's sweet voice.
CD2 is where the compilation hits its stride. The Trouser Enthusiasts remix of 'All I Wanna Do' and the Xenomania mix of 'Everything I Wanted' are magnificent and even over five years later, they have not lost their lustre and sound fresh today. These songs prove Dannii is a dancefloor queen and it's no surprise she followed these dancefloor classics with her excellent 2003 album 'Neon Nights'.
Dannii may get overshadowed by big sister Kylie, but she is talented in her own right, and has a small, but impressive, body of work.

So-So Minogue, June 20, 2005
This review is from: Remixes (Audio CD)
I bought this CD because I had purchsed Neon Nights and was absolutley enthralled with Dannii, I think she is a way better singer than Kylie and her songs were great, so I bought this one to hear some of her older songs. At first I was totally dissapointed. Love and Kisses is very bland and poorly written (don't get me started on that rapping and the awful McDonalds reference!) Then I listened on and began to become fond of Don't Wanna Take this Pain. But that was just the first disc, I'm glad I didn't give up on it and not listen to the second disc because that's where I found the best songs! The Truoser Enthusiast remixes of 'All I Wanna Do' and "Disrememberance" are awesome!!! They are clearly the best on the whole collection! 'This is The Way is another good track. If you want to get an idea of her earlier works This is a good place to start. But Neon Nights is her best work to date.

Great addition to your collection, May 18, 2005
This review is from: Remixes (Audio CD)
As a big Minogue sisters fan, I was thrilled to discover this release of Dannii's remixes. This album contains the most popular remixes from her biggest single releases of her first 3 albums: `Love And Kisses', Get Into You' and `Girl'.
The mixes here are b-sides, which would normally cause me to mark it down. But considering that her earlier work is very hard to find, this album is a great way to allow Dannii's fans to have access to her earlier work.
Stand out tracks are `This Is The Way', `All I Wanna Do' and `Hallucination' (B-side to the `Jump To The Beat' single)

Love And Kissesc (12" mix) - 7/10
