there are moments, when I revisit this album and IP, that I can't help wondering what happened to the Kylie who was heavily invested in advancing her artistry, taking risks and pushing herself to new places musically, trying different things with her voice.

this is an utterly cracking album coming from a woman of 26 years old. yes she's been our fabulous pop princess for a good 20 years now and I'm grateful BUT I wonder what might've been if she'd done 2 or 3 albums of that and then got back to the business of trying new things...

Tell me another artist who gets experimental age 40. There are very few.
 
Her vocals for me are smoother on Automatic Love than on Dangerous Game.

Dangerous Game bores me. Automatic Love is akin to that sophisto-pop or whatever it was called from the 80s that bands like Swing Out Sister and Blow Monkeys were churning out.

It’s strange how they didn’t bother crediting the male vocalist. At least I don’t think they did.
 
Could this track be any creamier? It's delicious. Doing the same thing as Automatic Love but doing it better. and it just goes on and on...

Probably this is the one moment on the album that could've done with having two minutes chopped off though. I'd die to hear this in a loungey club setting.

I know I’m preempting things a bit but I wish Disco had some extended cuts on it like this album does. There is literally no better genre to do it with than disco.

It's been a very long time since I've heard this album. It's aged really well to these big gay ears. I doubt 14 year old of me would have appreciated it.

The Róisín Murphy deluxe version does this, the extended versions make up the deluxe part. Would’ve been worth a thought by Kylie depending on what the album sounds like I guess.
 
I genuinely want to listen to Where Has The Love Gone again straight away.

I never thought I’d ever say that.
 
I remember Pet Shop Boys saying they were disappointed with what she’d done with Falling without saying they were disappointed.
 
Falling is a cute bleep bloopy bop with a nice aquatic vibe but it feels like a dub or an interlude stretched out into a seven minute song. not enough CONTENT

I love Falling and i’m NOT sorry to say so.

It was clearly influenced by another huge club tune of the time, the name of which totally escapes me now.
 
Fuck me. This is going to bother me all evening. What was the inspiration for Falling? Argh.
