CD Reviews

Must have

J. M. Zuurbier | Canada | 06/03/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a Special Edition of Kylie's much underrated 1997 album IMPOSSIBLE PRINCESS. It features the same album (which was previously titled "Kylie Minogue" after Princess Diana's death), as well as a bonus disc with remixes and some rarities! This is a must have for every Kylie fan.Disc One is the IMPOSSIBLE PRINCESS album. It spawned off a few hits, such as Cowboy Style, Did It Again and Some Kind of Bliss, but ultimately was ignored by the public at large. Kylie often would distance herself from this project, but has now warmed up to it again. It features some very mature songwriting on her part. For many of the tracks she enlisted the help of Manic Street Preachers. She also worked with Brothers In Rhythm for the album. The album is a hybrid of different sounds and music styles. Pop, dance, electronica, rock, and more. My faovrite songs are the electronica flavored Breathe, Say Hey and Drunk, the whimsical I Don't Need Anyone and Limbo, and many more.Disc Two features remixes and a few b-sides. Love Takes Me Over reminds me a bit of Too Far, it was written by the same people. Tears is by far the best b-side, an excellent uptempo song that will make you dance. This Girl is an interesting demo type song. As for remixes there are 3 remixes for Too Far, the Inner Door Mix, North Pole Mix, and Junior's Riff Dub. Three Breathe remixes as well, including Tee's Dub Of Life, Tee's Glimmer Mix (excellent), and Tee's Dancehall mix. There's two mixes for Did It Again including the Did It Four Times Mix (excellent) and the Razor-n-go Mix. There is also a mix for Some Kind of Bliss that is excellent, it's called the Quivver Mix.The mixes from this era are excellent, and since the singles are incredibly hard to find or out of print, its nice to have some of the mixes represented here. This is a must have for all Kylie fans. You won't be disapointed."

A chameleon of popular music

"A true reflection of what I invision Kylie Minogue as being is portrayed here: a wonderful, spirited, lyrical, beautiful, ugly, demanding, creative, and even magical being with the musical talent to wake the impossible princess up from a long dream of random love songs and dance beats. Dark and sometimes unclear, this album is everything I look for when it comes to music. The remixes included on the bonus disc are excellent. Some highlight songs include "Too Far", "Say Hey", "Limbo", "Jump", "Dreams", and "Love Takes Over Me". This is a must have for any Kylie fan/collector. This may not be on the market much longer. Worth the money."

A strong KYLIE pop sound that is not IMPOSSIBLE hear !

"If you have become a fan of MINOGUE's massive EMI release "FEVER" then I strongly suggest for you to get yourself a copy of this CD. You'll enjoy the numerous remixes that contain the same essence as FEVER. The track listing on this CD is the perfect companion to compliment the "FEVER" collection.Note the song "SOME KIND OF BLISS", it's yet a new musical departure for Ms. KYLIE. The song has a spirit and feel that will remind the listener of the BRITPOP sound (horns & strings mixed with electric guitars and upfront vocals).This CD is truly worth purchasing. Listen to it with all your speakers blaring out loud!"

Kylie's best by far

Felt Mountain | Australia | 10/14/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"In my opinion, Kylie reached her creative peak with this album; it was original, creative, dark, and Kylie wrote all of these songs. Which other album do you know that combines orchestration, trip-hop beats, pop, dance, hip-hop, alternative and sex? I know not many.....

It is such a shame that Kylie stilldoesn't release music as original as this. Her sales may not be as high if she released catchy pop songs like Spinning Around - which the listener may get sick of when heard multiple times - but this album is very durable - Her more diehard fans will enjoy it more - I never thought I would see such creative, and complex, songs like Through The Years or Say Hey as a highlight, but after many listens, I now (with Jump, Too Far and Dreams, my two favourite Kylie songs), consider them to be in my top-10 favoutite Kylie song list, not that there is one.

The only songs I don't like is I Don't Need Anyone - it just doesn't fit in between the inaccessible tracks Drunk and Jump. And Some Kind Of Bliss is borrderline, but all of the other tracks are very very good, but if I waas to pick a lowpoint, it would be around tracks 3-5 i.e the singles. I prefer original, creative and meaningful songs as opposed to pop, which is why I think that the singles and track 8 are the worst, but all of the other tracks are SPECTACULAR - quite a contrast, actually.

The album sold quite poorly compared to her others in the UK. It only went Silver (Kylie's lowest certification) and its chart run in the UK was: 10-22-41-70; I think fans that liked the more pop Kylie weren't really 'ready' in a way for an album so different from all of her others, but with a successful tour to promote this album, Australia saw this album for what it is. It went Double Platinum and peaked at #4.

Singles were respectively:

Some Kind Of Bliss (#22 UK, #27 Aus)

Did It Again (#14 UK, #15 Aus)

Breathe (#14 UK, #23 Aus)

Cowboy Style (Australia only. #36, Aus)

If you liked this album similar to how I haved (i.e liking non-singles over singles etc.) I recomend anything by Bjork - because this Cd is VERY bjork infulenced, Tori Amos, Goldfrapp or so on. Note: There are many people comparing this album to Madonna's Ray Of Light - this album is far better. Compared to this it is bland.
