5.0 out of 5 stars Taking it slow and good, November 10, 2003

When Slow premiered on radio all over the qworld a month back, it brought mixed reviews. Hradcore fans cried at how dismal the song is compared to the highly charged debut singles Spinning Around and Can't Get You Out Of My Head from Light Years and Fever.

However, those with a discerning ear would have realized that this is the best Kylie masterpiece yet. While her previous two debut singles were written for her, Slow is penned by Kylie herself with Emilia Torrini and Mr Dan. Slow, itself, is detached from anything that was on Fever. Here, Kylie breathes sex and sensuality into every note she hits along a seductive and alluring sub-bass beat akin to Madonna's superior Justify My Love and Erotica (though some may beg to differ) as well as her own Confide In Me and Put yourself In My Place. Even Janet Jackson's sexiest and dirtiest moments pale beside Slow. Along with an orgasm inducing soft-porn video of an orgy of heavenly near-naked bodies around her while she sings the tune, Slow is hard to beat.

While Kylie revels in the sexy beat, she scored herself a 7th UK #1, sharing the honors with Michael Jackson and George Michael. On this CD single, you will find the Medicine 8 Remix, a non-LP bonus track and the oh-so-sexy video. Definitely worth your penny! And if this is anything to come by, Body Language will be a great addition to Kylie's recently consistently ace album catalog.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slow Down and Dance with Me, August 16, 2004

This review is from: Slow 1 (Audio CD)

"Skip a beat and move with your body." With these simple words Kylie Minogue took an artistic step forward that alienated a huge body of fans, while pleasing a relative handful with her bravery and innovation. SLOW separated the men from the boys in more ways than one when it first appeared last winter. its minimal instrumentation portending the even more radical moves Bjork makes on her new instument-less CD MEDULLA.

But that's what Bjork is supposed to be--challenging, while Kylie has had a lesser mandate, she's just supposed to be kittenish and entertaining. When we heard the simple countermeasures of the electronic keyboards, and the rushed lyrics that she singspiels her way through to a dramatic "Slow down," we Kylie fans didn't know what we were hearing, many of us complained, there's no chorus and so forth. It just took awhile for the track to sink it, and once it does, it's there in your cortex forever.

I'm not a Kylie fan really but I just can't help but love this song as much as I hate admitting it ( but I'm doing so now ). I always say the best way to make yourself as an artist is by making records that are not instantly recognizable as your own. And this song proves it - I didn't know it was Kylie until the last 30 seconds of it on the radio. I was impressed. The gurgling synths do sound a bit like your old Atari console but I think it makes it seem all the more nifty. For some reason I see shades of Kraftwerk and Cabaret Voltaire in it.

Never has a single by an artist that I don't particularly like ( music wise ( I mean everyone would watch her videos not matter how bad the song was )) has made me think on buying the album that's coming out.

Well alright I've had a soft spot for Kylie and I guess she's the one pop star I wouldn't turn the radio off for
