When released i did feel it wouldn't do hugely well for Kylie but thought a safe Top 20 entry. Some Kind of Bliss missing the Top 20 was a big shock to everyone and was a strong indication the Impossible Princess era would underperform.

I loved it but in a different way to pop kylie as I was a big manic st preachers fan aswell.

As different as Confide In Me was, it had a pop element to the song. Despite Some Kind Of Bliss flopping it did once again help people see Kylie differently as it was 2 lead singles in a row that were very far removed from her days at PWL. The Manic Street Preachers were a big band with credibility and working with Kylie partially helped Kylie with some credibility to those who just saw Kylie as a product of the PWL machine.

I don’t think she would have continued with the same sound - she never does, I would imagine her doing something similar to KM94.

If IP had become a greater success i think Kylie could have worked more closely with more indie related people.

Agreed, I can see why they went for it as the lead from a commercial point of view, even if I think 'Limbo' would have represented the album better. It's easy to say they made the wrong choice now we know it flopped, but perhaps nothing from this era was destined to do well?
