Free Music Notes for Impossible Princess (Spec)
Free Music Review: Must have
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a Special Edition of Kylie's much underrated 1997 album IMPOSSIBLE PRINCESS. It features the same album (which was previously titled "Kylie Minogue" after Princess Diana's death), as well as a bonus disc with remixes and some rarities! This is a must have for every Kylie fan.Disc One is the IMPOSSIBLE PRINCESS album. It spawned off a few hits, such as Cowboy Style, Did It Again and Some Kind of Bliss, but ultimately was ignored by the public at large. Kylie often would distance herself from this project, but has now warmed up to it again. It features some very mature songwriting on her part. For many of the tracks she enlisted the help of Manic Street Preachers. She also worked with Brothers In Rhythm for the album. The album is a hybrid of different sounds and music styles. Pop, dance, electronica, rock, and more. My faovrite songs are the electronica flavored Breathe, Say Hey and Drunk, the whimsical I Don't Need Anyone and Limbo, and many more.
Disc Two features remixes and a few b-sides. Love Takes Me Over reminds me a bit of Too Far, it was written by the same people. Tears is by far the best b-side, an excellent uptempo song that will make you dance. This Girl is an interesting demo type song. As for remixes there are 3 remixes for Too Far, the Inner Door Mix, North Pole Mix, and Junior's Riff Dub. Three Breathe remixes as well, including Tee's Dub Of Life, Tee's Glimmer Mix (excellent), and Tee's Dancehall mix. There's two mixes for Did It Again including the Did It Four Times Mix (excellent) and the Razor-n-go Mix. There is also a mix for Some Kind of Bliss that is excellent, it's called the Quivver Mix.
The mixes from this era are excellent, and since the singles are incredibly hard to find or out of print, its nice to have some of the mixes represented here. This is a must have for all Kylie fans. You won't be disapointed.
Free Music Review: Kylie's best work!
Hit: 5 Stars
Many people overlook this album, but nearly everyone who listens to it loves it! It is by far Kylie's best album. It features the hits 'Did It Again' and 'Breathe', as well as the Australian single 'Cowboy Style', and of course the debut single, the free and rocking 'Some Kind Of Bliss.' It's a very diverse album that combines dance, techno, transe, and rock all wrapped up in an alternative package. It's easily Kylie's most personal album, with every song writen by Kylie (the only album featuring songs writen solely by Kylie, I believe), but it did not do well commercially. But make no mistake, this is an amazing album! 'Say Hey', 'Too Far', 'Jump' and 'Dreams' are the best on the album as far as I'm concerned, but every song on this album is wonderful.If you hated all four singles, then chances are you'll hate the album too, but try to give it a chance and I'm sure you'll enjoy. I only wish that Kylie's new album was more along these lines, as I feel that Kylie's work is always best when she is in control.
The bonus remix album is nice to have, but it's nothing too special. 'Tears' is pretty familiar to most people, but I personally don't care for it. 'This Girl' and 'Love Takes Over Me' are great songs, but the nine remixes are, well, they're remixes. So if you're into remixes then it's a good thing, but I personally prefer the originals by far. But in terms of remixes, these ones are pretty good. Perhaps you're better off with the original version of the album, but I think the remix album is still worth having. Buy it, and enjoy Kylie at her best!

For those of U who may not know of Kylie, and her somewhat 20 year history in the music world, You think...somehow she appeared with (Can't get U Outta my Head) From no where? Well if U think that is something U really should do some homework. Along with her sister Dannii Who's latest CD is simply a masterpiece of vocals and electronic echos and dubs and samples (Neon Nights)who sounds VERY similiar they are a power force for gay and straight fans. So If you do not have this CD or her sisters CD's (yes plural look for Dannii The Re-Mixes) I suggest it, also look into other CD's especially the remixed CD's and the imports with double discs and extra tracks. They are a both one of a kind working with various world known mixers from Vasquez/Razor+Guido/Brothers in Rhythm/Quivver/Todd Terry and one of my all time fav's Trouser Enthusiasts. If you REALLY like great remixes 8-12+ min long I suggest the almost impossible to find CD by Kylie simply entitled (mixes)My Fav being (Did it Again)the T.Enth. Goddess of Contortion mix is OUTSTANDING spooky, and dance floor friendly, it is a great double cd UK Import, well worth. Jason Prof DJFree Music Review: Pop Art Princess

I love this album. It's one of my favorites from Kylie. It was not a huge success in the late 90s when it was released but over the years it has attained a cult following and is a favorite among many Kylie fans. Some have painted 'Impossible Princess' as a dark album, and while it is often moody and haunting, there is also a lot of lighter moments including 'Did It Again', 'Some Kind of Bliss' and 'I Don't Need Anyone'. 'Breathe' is one of Kylie's best songs in my opinion, and 'Dreams' is definitely one of the best album tracks from any of Kylie's albums.
The remix bonus CD is okay but there are many unreleased demos from the 'Impossible Princess' sessions that are not available here due to ownership and licensing rights (which is mentioned in this special edition's liner notes) so the bonus CD is a bit of a disappointment. But overall, this is a great album which allows listeners to see Kylie mature her pop sound before returning to her pop roots on 'Light Years'.
Free Music Review: Fantastic cd and bonus cd
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought the remastered version of Impossible Princess last year and I love it. The first disc is the original Impossible Princess. The cd didn't do so well when it came out but now a lot of fans have begun to appreciate the cd. I loved the whole thing on my first listen. The cd is full of great songs but here are the ones that I listen to the most: Dreams(in my opinion, by far the best song on the cd),Jump, Limbo, Drunk, Cowboy Style, Breathe, Through the years, and too far. The second disc is full of remixes and songs that the B-sides: Love takes over me, Tears, and This girl. I love all three of those songs, especially Love takes over me. The remixes are all good, especially all the ones for Breathe. This remastered version of Impossible Princess is a must for all Kylie fans, so get it!
