Starting with the UK no 1 hit "Spinning around", followed by the no 2 hit "On a night like this", the album goes from strenght to strenght.

As far as i am concerned "Disco Down" has to be the best track on the album and the next single. The campest record since the Pet Shop Boys "Go West", "Your Disco Needs You" does sound second rate compared to the Almighty remix on the single of "On a night like this", but it is still great.

The albums only ballad, "Bittersweet Goodbye", is just beautiful. The title track is great and must be down to be a future single. Also put on the album is the much talked about duet with Robbie Williams, another fine song.

Just for your information, there is a hidden track, "Password", at the very beginning of the album. When "Spinning around" comes on, you need to hold your finger on the rewind button of your cd player and rewind into the song (this must be the first time a hidden track is at the beginning of an album).

This really is a great album, a must for pop fans everywhere.

While Fever is the album that has finally broken Kylie in North America, this previous set is in fact a far more infectious, highly camp and totally satisfying FUN album. Light Years combines all of the best elements of 70s disco-pop wrapped up in state of the art production, lyrics that are disposable (without being insulting), irresistible beats and a completely winning sense of humour. Imagine the perfect soundtrack to a cocktail/disco/pool party and you have it. I still return to this album when getting ready for a night on the town - there's none better.

...dancing to this excellent new album by queen of discopop! 14 great songs and most of them reminds you of something from the 70's but can't really figure out which songs. Kylie is back doing what she best at, being glamorous, looking fabulous and doing the disco! Thank you!

This CD is a total blast! With obvious hits like "Spinning Around," "On a Night Like This," "Your Disco Needs You," and "Please Stay," you'll be grinning from ear to ear and incessantly shakin' your booty. "Spinning Around" is destined to be a disco classic. "On a Night Like This" is Kylie at her finest...an awesome song with a hyponotic beat and K's beautiful, yearning vocals. "Your Disco Needs You" is a Pet Shop Boys meets the Village People anthem with a captivating Kylie commanding you to the dancefloor. Hilarious! On "Please Stay," with its sensual Latin beats, Ms. Minogue welcomes you to her own "La Isla Bonita." (There are some thumpin' re-mixes of these songs out there, as well, that you should check out.) There are several other gems packed on this release of unadulterated fun. "Kids," a duet with Robbie Williams, is pure pop pleasure. "Loveboat" is camp cuisine at its most scrumptious. This would have made the perfect theme song to that old TV show ("The Loveboat") from the late '70's to the mid '80's. ALL ABOARD! "Koochacoo" is very retro-cocktail-hourish...thirst quenching. Could she be more precious?! "I'm So High" has some Deborah Harry-sounding ah ah ah ah ahs at the beginning of this tune full of sweetness. The song, "Light Years," cross-breeds Donna Summer with Madonna as K transports you to an outer-space intergalactic trance. "So Now Goodbye" and "Disco Down" are a couple more delightful disco diddies. And then, there's "Butterfly." This tune will open up your wings and have you flying high in the club...or at least in your room. This is the most explosive track...here Kylie will set you free! Her combination of sexiness and innocence is a rarity. She's a talented disco divafying showgirl...babe-ilicious! Luscious and yummy...this CD is one tasty treat you don't wanna pass up. YOU'LL LIKE IT LIKE THIS!

Although I do not believe this to be Kylie's best work, it's still fun and really worth a listen. This is her come back album right after Impossible Princess which failed. She changed her sound to this late 70's disco sound and really went with it the whole way. The songs are not the most dance worthy I have ever heard, and the pop goes in to generic territory at times, but some of this stuff is genius. For example, Your Disco Needs You might be one of the most genius songs I have ever heard, not to mention great to dance too. Disco Down is also a great song. On the other hand, Spinning Around, Please Stay, and Kids with Robbie Williams, which were all singles, do not measure up to the rest of this CD. Althought this CD is uneven it is still worth a listen and it has the fun factor.

The Key Tracks Are: Your Disco Needs You, Disco Down, So Now Goodbye, Light Years, and Butterfly.
