Fever has always ranked very highly but I have a new found love for tracks like Tightrope.

until this week i hadn't listened to fever in full for ages but really enjoyed going back to it, love affair and tightrope i much preferred now to when the album came out.

Thank you to the host and I look forward to the next listening party.

Gonna post some of the B-Sides that hasn't already been put up here

if we are doing another one id love it to be light years, rhythm of love or enjoy yourself.

I would happily join a listening party for any of those albums.

"Boy" (Can't Get You Out of my Head: B-Side & American Bonus Track)




"Rendezvous At Sunset" (Can't Get You Out of my Head: B-Side & Japanese Re-Issue)




"Harmony" (In Your Eyes: B-Side (Australia)




"Never Spoken" (In Your Eyes: B-Side (Australia)




"Whenever You Feel Like It" (Special Edition Bonus Track)




And of course let's not forget this classic remix....


"Can't Get Blue Monday Out of my Head" (Love At First Sight: B-Side & Special Edition Bonus Track)

Remember this bogged down version of "Love At First Sight" for the American Market, WHY

All the B-sides are pretty great tbh! I can see why some of them were left off, but all of them would certainly make purchasing the CDs singles worthwhile!

 

'Boy' has really got stuck in my head recently, it makes a great B-side to 'Head' because it has that similar 'deceivingly simple' quality about it.

 

The Blue Monday mash-up is genius and the BRITs performance of it stands up as one of my favourite ever Kylie performances. The entrance is iconic and I'll never tire of hearing the audience screaming and cheering at her appearance.

 

The production on the US mix of 'Love at First Sight' is fine in itself, but not on that song! It strips out all the joy of the chorus. I don't get how it's meant to be more 'US-friendly'.

I love blue monday, that brit performance is just iconic for me, it was a huge performance at the time and got such huge headlines in the press. It was also great seeing kylie finally getting awards that night after been so overlooked for so many years.

Loved reading your thoughts Jay! Picking out these two in particular. :heart: The 'In Your Eyes' video is one of my favourites too, it matches the vibe of the song so well - the colours capture that trippy, explosive nature of the production and of course the Kylie ring makes for a memorable moment. I wish this had been bigger too but I guess was naturally overshadowed by 'Head'. A massive radio hit though!

 

'Tightrope' is sublime, isn't it? :wub: I think it works perfectly with the album too, maybe they didn't want too many songs that weren't dancefloor fillers but I don't think adding this would have altered the direction of the album at all.

:wub: I remember it being on music channels like The Box so often, I never got bored of watching it!

 

I was trying to think about where Tightrope could have slotted into the album, if it wasn't the last track. Maybe between Give It to Me and Fragile? :thinking:

On the subject of Can't Blue Monday Out of My Head, it occurred to me that Can't Get You Out of My Head is about as old now as Blue Monday was when CGYOOMH was new!

 

Are there any notable songs that have sampled Can't Get You Out of My Head? If not, maybe it's time! The nostalgia for early 2000s seems to have kicked in recently.

Golden has always ranked very highly but I have a new found love for tracks like Lost Without You.

I went to the future and found this post, I completely agree :heart:

If there's gonna be another listening party could "Rhythm of Love" be next

I still give it regular watches now on YouTube. One of her best!

 

That could work, or maybe between 'Love Affair' and 'Your Love'? I'd have stuck it in between 'Love at First Sight' and 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' if it meant it was on there! :lol:

This cannot be right! :drama:

 

Funnily enough, there was a song last year that sampled 'Head' and Kylie featured herself!

 

Tightrope would have slotted in brill between love at first sight and cant get you out of my head.

If there is another party next week I will be available Friday.

Rhythm of love could be a good next one.

Sorry I missed it last minute - looked like it was a good one!

We missed having your participation.
