Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Remix collections, like best-ofs and reissues only more so, can typically be seen as little more than cynical cash-ins--a way for record companies to churn out product of little value in between albums for minimal outlay and maximum gain. But quality begets quality and Boombox, a slinky anthology of alternative takes from Kylie’s latter-day post-hot-pants career is for the most part as sultry and seductively rooted to the dancefloor as you would expect it to be. The standard is set high from the off with the infamous “Can’t Get Blue Monday Out Of My Head” mash-up fusing potentially the best pop song of the last decade (that’s the peerless “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head”) with the best pop song of the 80s (New Order’s “Blue Monday”) with inevitably spine-tingling results. The rest of the tracks on offer segue together effectively, managing to eek out a series of moods while retaining a central discipline faithful to the stylised niche she’s carved herself since the turn of the century. From Whitey’s boxy stomping revamp of “Red Blooded Woman”, to Mylo’s blissed-out techno take on “I Believe In You”, Fischerspooner’s wide-eyed multi-layered grind through “Come Into My World” punctuated by hi-hat shrapnel and wicked synthesised bass, and Chemical Brothers’ taut minimalist attack on the slight, breathy “Slow” this is undoubtedly an impressive line-up to have collected under one roof, on the same dancefloor --James Berry
