Customer Reviews
Pop doesnt come much more fun than this!!!
This is Kylie the way we love her - fun, camp and ready to party!
Without a doubt her most commercial and brilliant album.
Loaded wth great singles, Spinning around, On a Night Like This, Kids (with Robbie) and Please Stay, the rest of the album is actually stronger than the singles, but all the songs complenting each together so well. ALL but one of the tracks are upbeat pop tunes, with the exception of Bittersweet Goodbye, a sweet ballad which falls halfway through the cd.
Difficult to list a favourite as they are all so damn good, but if forced, Disco Down, Your Disco Needs You (a CRIME this wasn't an international single release!!!), I'm So High and the very Donna Summer-ish Light Years.
If you are unsure which kylie album to get - this one wins HANDS DOWN. Its pop / disco / dance at its best.
A truly brilliant pop album.
The extras - additional remixes, most very good. The new cover is in actuality a card slip-sleeve, with the original sliding into it.
Two cd set of Light Years plus bonus remix cd.
I had ordered this cd because I was looking for the remix of "Butterfly" and a Vocal mix of "Spinning Around" which is on here. First off I actually bought "Light Years " for my brother earlier this year(from amazon.co.uk) and listen to it before I gave it to him. This cd is more disco in feel than her new "Fever" cd. You get the hits "Spinning Around","On A Night Like This","Plaese Stay" and "Your Disco Needs You" plus even better non hits like "So Now Goodbye","Under The Influence Of Love","Light Years","I'm So High" and the beautiful (and rare)ballad "Bittersweet Goodbye. "Kids" with Robbie Williams and "Butterfly" which was released on a small label in 2001 are here too. A great album of disco dancing fun by Kylie.
Disc 2 features remixes of tracks from the cd that are great too. "Spinning Around" comes in the vocal mix by 7th District and a dub by Sharp. "On A Night Like This" comes in two mixes :the Rob Searle dub mix and the Bini & Martini piano driven 6:35 mix. Missing is the superior Movtiv8 Mix but I have it. Then 3 mixes of "Please Stay"- A dub by Hatiras and a single and 12" mix by 7th District again. This is really good too. Then the 9 minute Sandstorm dub of "Butterfly".I just bought an American cd single of "Butterfly" from another on line place that features the vocal Sandstorm mix as well as mixes by Illicit and E-Smoove that are even better. And lastly you get the Casino radio mix of "Your Disco Needs You". A really good price for both the full cd and bonus remixes. The cd is from Holland.
Excellent CD
Granted, this CD may be a little difficult to find, but but's well worth the trouble ... As a fan of mostly hard rock / punk, it takes an especially good dance / disco CD to excite me ... And Kylie Minogue's "LIGHT YEARS" is that good ... While not TOTALLY retro sounding, LIGHT YEARS does have the feel of the great disco era of the 1970s : a song like "So Now Goodbye" could sit proudly next to many of the great disco songs, and would have been great at Studio 54 circa 1977 .... And "Disco Down" is right there between "Dancing Queen" and "Love To Love You Baby" on my favorites list ... "Disco Down" even has lyrical references to the ABBA classic and "Le Freak" ... But that's not to say LIGHT YEARS is in a time-warp ... The songs and performance on LIGHT YEARS is timeless, filled with great songwriting and wonderful production ... Not to mention one great singer :) ... I was drawn to this CD because ( despite my love for rock and roll ) I absolutely love ABBA and 70s disco in general, and I think Kylie has created an album that sounds fresh and timeless, while continuing to bring out a feeling of an era that still has yet to be equalled ... In my opinion, a great song is a great song, regardless of the style: and LIGHT YEARS has alot of great songs !!!
