A chameleon of popular music

A true reflection of what I invision Kylie Minogue as being is portrayed here: a wonderful, spirited, lyrical, beautiful, ugly, demanding, creative, and even magical being with the musical talent to wake the impossible princess up from a long dream of random love songs and dance beats. Dark and sometimes unclear, this album is everything I look for when it comes to music. The remixes included on the bonus disc are excellent. Some highlight songs include "Too Far", "Say Hey", "Limbo", "Jump", "Dreams", and "Love Takes Over Me". This is a must have for any Kylie fan/collector. This may not be on the market much longer. Worth the money.

Full of Kylie

If your going to pick up Kylie's "Impossible Princess" album, make sure to pick up the remastered box set. Here you get extra songs, in addition to remixed versions of the origional one's. Sound quality is excellent. A special bonus is "this Girl" on the second cd, which you won't find on any other album. It's a beautiful song. Great cd, so pick it up!

Kylie Fans and NEW fans

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 DJ

My Favourite Album Of All Time

Wow. I really don't know where to begin with this one! I really love this album, and it is such a departure for Kylie. Her pre-"IP" and post-"IP" work is okay, but I will always believe that this album is her best.



It begins with the haunting "Too Far," with lyrics like "Caught up in this house / Trapped my very own self in the snare of my mind / No more space than a slither / What I'd give for a deep breath inside." This is a very disturbing song, but it works.

I would have to say that it is my favourite song on the whole album.



"Cowboy Style" sounds like a mix between country music and Celtic music - very odd, but fun to dance to. It combines my two favourite styles of music, so that is a plus!



"Some Kind Of Bliss" and "Did It Again" are the more rock/pop tracks on the album. I think that they are the least creative but the most radio-friendly. Good songs in general, though, and they make the album more complete.



"Breathe" - a great song, but it is pretty slow for me. I like the sped-up radio version of this song that can be found on her "Hits+" album.



"Say Hey," "Drunk," and "Limbo" are very techno-dance infused songs. I enjoy these a lot, and I think they each are very unique.



"I Don't Need Anyone" - quite possibly a close second for my favourite. It sounds like a 70's song with the flutes and such, but it is a rock/pop track.



"Jump" is my least favourite song, but I'm not sure why. The lyrics are very good, but I don't really care for the melody.



"Through The Years" is a jazzy, sultry song that I love! It has a very sexy tone to it, but the lyrics make it more of a "done me wrong" song, if you know what I mean.



"Dreams" - what a brilliant way to end the album. A sweeping ballad about wanting everything and being an impossible princess because of it.



The album I purchased was the box set, which includes a second CD of remixes and bonus tracks. I recommend that everyone get this set, because the bonuses are wonderful. "Love Takes Over Me," "Too Far (Inner Door Mix)" and "Breathe (Tee's Glimmmer Mix)" are my faves.



Buy this album! You won't regret it!

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'.
