funky does Kylie: "DISCO" (2020)

There was another one off release between KMO and Golden wasn't there? I'm almost scared/bemused/embarrassed/ashamed to mention it (delete as appropriate).

This is the problem with being one of the most prolific pop stars out there.
 
Gosh Moopy are a fickle bunch. Dancing is wonderful and despite the slightly iffy production, there's lots to like on the album (as well as the usual things to cringe at). I don't hate KMO at all but Golden is the better record.

It's obviously her most personal work to date too.
 
Like Disco, it's on the Sky Adams tracks where the production choices and tinny vocal compression that lets the songs down somewhat.
 
Wasn't sure where to post this (figured this thread might be best) but I've been listening to Steve Anderson's podcasts of late and one of the episodes featuring The Alias/Jewels and Stone (who both worked at PWL in the late 80s/early 90s) revealed that the the version of Things Can Only Get Better that was the b-side to What Kind Of Fool, was the original take before it was remixed for the album. I completely ignored it at the time but Julian Gingell emphatically states that this "harder edged" version was the original:

This is the episode:



Great podcast btw. Very Kylie adjacent as you would expect. Jon Green is interviewed in the latest episode.
 
Who, Steve Anderson?

That mix isn't ALL that different btw. No wonder I dismissed it.
 
I'd be happy to be blocked by Mike Stock but not Steve (despite his questionable taste sometimes).
 
I'll expect an Abbey Road Sessions run through after you're finished with Disco.
 
According to Dave Seaman, the [production of] Big Brothers Mix of Confide In Me roughly cost the same as an entire album did in the mid 90s.



If only we could return to the days of those epic mixes.
 
also All The Lovers was originally conceived as a country song (inspired in part by Robyn and I Believe In You) :



This is a great podcast.

I’ve been VERY BUSY

ended up doing a last minute trip to London

In the meantime you could provide that list of all the interim songs that I haven’t done which I’ll do after KMO and before the GRAND FINALE
