Kylie Minogue: Light Years
Kylie Minogue’s seventh album, Light Years was a rebirth from her dour times at Deconstruction Records. The two albums released between 1993 and 1998 – Kylie Minogue and Impossible Princess (confusingly called Kylie Minogue in UK) were critically and commercially unsuccessful. The latter of these two remains my favourite, but the first album on Parlophone, Light Years, is fine once you break through the kitsch.
Light Years is the final track. Its arpeggiated bassline and Kylie’s flight attendant vocals build the track before lush audio-aerodynamics lift the song smoothly into a extended denouement and comedown. Pop meets Spacemen 3.
