Relisten #4: Light Years & Fever (TONIGHT 7.30pm)

[COB]

I like Loveboat for what it is but it really is a bit of a THUD after everything that came before

 

[HeLikedTurner]

I won't hear a bad word said against "Love Boat". Sheer perfection! Completely nails what it sets out to do!

9/10

 

[GNL]

All this talk of PEACH and LOTION. I assume this is what inspired the hit motion picture CALL ME BY YOUR NAME.

I love Loveboat and I’m NOT ASHAMED! She sounds sublime.

YES! It's utterly wonderful in every single respect.

[POP!]

“Disco Down” is relentless - I kind of like that it wasn’t given single treatment despite being more than qualified.

 

[Iguana]

I get the feeling Kylie is REALLY ENJOYING Loveboat

 

[COB]

I've completely forgotten Koocachoo

 

[Jark]

Her vocals across this album were RICH AF. Loveboat is more KITSCH than an afternoon spent at BEN AND ELTON'S PLACE listening to a FAMILY FRIEND called HERBY do the American Songbook at the GRAND PIANO wearing a FLORAL CRAVATTE. I love it!

Okay I’ve always loved “Love Boat” and “Koocachoo” - both flawless joyous camp pop

Loveboat is like a Barry Manilow song

 

[Jark]

Koocachoo is so fucking ridiculous. HOW did they allow this? it's the kind of self indulgent PLEASURE you'd only OK for the biggest artist in the world, which Kylie was very much NOT at that moment in time. Perhaps they thought noone would ever hear the album.

No shade obvs. It's amazing.

Kookachoo is another underrated gem! What a fab tune!

Loveboat is like a Barry Manilow song

This should probably still have been left on the cutting room floor though.

 

[Jark]

I appear to be rating this album on yet another questionable Jark-approved scoring system. This one goes 8-11. Help!

 

[Eddie]

People hated Kookachoo at the time. I love it!

 

[Iguana]

Koocachoo gives me some Nerina Pallot vibes

 

[COB]

HERE WE GO

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Your Disco Needs You? Beyond f**king sublime.

107 Your Disco Needs You

 

[Tisch]

I don't think we need Lifeboat AND Koocachoo. Especially one after the other. But both are FINE inclusions. So much better to come.

 

[GNL]

Gay culture peaked with Your Disco... tbh.

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh vag flaps, I missed this.

 

[Tisch]

Probably my favourite song to mention Scrabble

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I popped Fever on the other day. I have to say it sounded GREAT.

 

[COB]

And of course, let's not forget the version from KYLIEX2008...

"Shall we take it to the opera?"
*flawless soprano vox*

 

[lolly]

I appear to be rating this album on yet another questionable Jark-approved scoring system. This one goes 8-11. Help!

All scoring systems hitherto known to womankind now rendered irrelevant

There is that remix that is a 12, obvs

 

[Iguana]

Willing to travel, just like Helen_S

 

[Eddie]

ASS!

 

[Jark]

Jesus christ. She really was on a mission to make the NUMBER ONE GAYEST RECORD OF ALL TIME wasn't she?

Kylie said homosexual rights - if they can't get married, at least they can GRIND THEIR "GUNNY" and pretend they're FROLLICKING ON A BEACH IN SAINT-TROPEZ.

Your Disco Needs You is obviously UTTERLY NEXT LEVEL. The French spoken (shouted/COMMANDED) middle 8! Again, I can't believe this even got MADE, much less UNLEASHED ON UNSUSPECTING EUROPEANS!

[Eddie]

I prefer the album version of YDNY.

 

[POP!]

I love Your Disco - IIRC the “Casino Mix” or whatever was even better. And don’t get me started about the live operatics she’s given us since.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

All those scientists across the globe desperately hunting for a COVID-19 vaccine, when it's literally sitting right THERE on an old Kylie album. The tragedy of it all!
