I dont think others have the same love for under the influence as myself, but good to see so many others loving disco down.

Revisited LY after enjoying Disco so much, it really does feel like Disco is Light Years Part 2

Ya it does feel like its light years part 2, disco reminds me of light years in that its packed full of single choices, some album tracks are equally as good if not better than some singles.

 

“Ocean Blue” Is One Of Kylie Minogue’s Best B-Sides

 

One of the most depressing things about the streaming age is the death of the B-Side. Admittedly, most B-Sides were the musical equivalent of roadkill, but every now and again something really special saw the light of day. Like Kylie Minogue’s “Ocean Blue.” The stripped-back, guitar ballad was included on the CD single of “On A Night Like This” and remains one of the pop icon’s best down-tempo moments. “Taking some time in the still, memories lead me far away,” she begins over strummed guitar. “The sun is dancing on the sea, I thank the Gods for today.”

 

That takes us to the lovely chorus: “Floating in time, thinking of you — ocean blue.” Co-written with and produced by long-time collaborator Steve Anderson, “Ocean Blue” also hints as Light Years — at least, at one point — having a very different brief than the shimmery dance-pop opus that was eventually released. This suspicion is supported by other B-sides of the era including “Good Life,” “Paper Dolls” (another gem of a song) and the Shirley Bassey-channeling “Cover Me With Kisses.”

I have always liked ocean blue alot but preferred paper dolls, i do agree though i still miss the days of gettiing some great b sides, with paper dolls for example i much prefered it and still do to spinning around.

The double format release of singles is something I miss greatly.

This format gave us beautiful songs such as Paper Dolls and Ocean Blue.

Ya them days are greatly missed, i loved collecting all the various cd singles.

I like Ocean Blue but not sure I’d have it up there as one of her best b-sides? It’s a good track but nothing special.

There are better b sides than ocean blue but also many weaker ones aswell.

I would have welcomed with open arms a Light Years 20th anniversary edition including all the b sides from the era.

While i knew Kylie was back when she hit number 1 with spinning around, the tour for me sealed the deal, i was like Kylie definitely knows what her fans want and she gave it in bag fulls.

On a Night Like this covered by Aussie heavy Metal band Lord

Well, that's going to be interesting! :lol:

Might help bring traction to kylies version.

:lol: I am very curious to hear that!

Celebrate you works really well if you play it back to back with a good few songs on light years.

There is a sound link between both.

'Your Disco Needs You' is set to appear on Now That's What I Call Gold, released 16th July! :o Interesting choice but I'm pleased to see it get some recognition.

 

The run of 'I Will Survive' - 'I'm Every Woman' - 'Strong Enough' - 'Your Disco Needs You' on the tracking list! *.*
