I never see her work with Towa Tei mentioned very much but I absolutely LOVE both the tracks - IP is my favourite Kylie album and both of these both fit perfectly into that era for me.
GBI reached #63 in the UK - I’m often surprised that it managed to chart at all off the back of the underperforming IP era and the fact it’s not the most radio friendly song but I guess the lower sales at the end of the 90s added to the fact it was released on multiple formats helped. Somewhere Samurai had a music video recorded (minus any appearance from Kylie but she did make a video for the X tour) but that’s as far as it went - Kylie re-recorded her vocals in 2003 and it was used on a Mayonnaise commercial in Japan  Anyway what does everyone think of this partnership? Love them, hate them, indifferent?! |

Their work was different and I do like it but I'm not a huge fan.

QUOTE(Tawdry Hepburn @ Jun 14 2019, 10:52 AM)  'GBI' is fantastic. So wacky! Good song description, again songs like this need to be added to a rarities and b sides kylie album. Not that I'd like it but if such a release was released as download only how do you think it would do? Or if kylie done a download only album in general. I know most of us are fans of the phyisical so I just wondered how an album would do for kylie on download only format and streaming.

It wouldn’t trouble the charts but that wouldn’t be the aim anyway. I wish Kylie would do what Robbie does with his ‘Under The Radar’ collections - CD releases of rare, live, unreleased etc., songs sold via his official website. |

It would be good if Kylie did that as its works good and Robbie fans enjoy it. That said, i would not be in favour of download only releases, i don't see the a major difference in download and for example listening on youtube. I like to have the physical of an album as i feel i have more ownership and buy in as a fan. |

A large percentage of Kylie's fanbase still want physicals including CD singles, vinyls etc.

Def so and the fans want them. I still think if she released a CD and vinyl version of her next lead single that she could get another top 40 hit.

I could never find any redeeming features for 'GBI' but, for some reason, it's hit me this past year and I actually really like it!
Very wacky indeed but it gets proper ingrained in your head! |

The "wacky" element is what made the song catchy.
The chorus inparticular has a great hook to make the song memorable. |

I only bought Towa Tei's album because of Kylie. There are some albums I only bought because Kylie's on it, Nick Cave or Pet Shop Boys for example.

As i see the mention of The Pet Shop Boys i am reminded of another missed opportunity.
In Denial truly should have made it to a single. Absolute stunning duet that was superb when Kylie performed it on her own tour. |

I have the CD singles but I wish this was on streaming - one of Kylie’s few omissions and odd they have ‘Somewhere Samurai’ on there but not GBI. |

I love ‘In Denial’ SO much and even though in chart/sales terms both Kylie and PSB were declining at the time I think ‘In Denial’ could have easily gone Top 15+ |

Somewhere Samurai is nowhere near as catchy as GBI.
