Light Years [Australia] (2000)

In 1998, Kylie Minogue was dropped by dance label DeConstruction, and some thought she had committed career suicide. Obviously, the backlash of 1997's Impossible Princess taught the diminutive Aussie one important lesson: Sometimes you have to just go with what you know -- go back to basics.

In 1998, Kylie Minogue was dropped by dance label DeConstruction, and some thought she had committed career suicide. Obviously, the backlash of 1997's Impossible Princess taught the diminutive Aussie one important lesson: Sometimes you have to just go with what you know -- go back to basics. And that's just what Minogue did with 2000's Light Years. Symbolically dropping her last name from the cover, she reenters the territory that made her great. Granted, with the teen pop movement at its strongest, one could say she just has good timing, but this work is leaps and bounds better than her Stock, Aitken & Waterman work. Light Years is not just another Minogue dance-pop record, but a great collection of disco stylings and Europop kitsch. "Spinning Around" is a fun and string-laden declaration that she may have made a mistake back in 1997, and the Robbie Williams/Guy Chambers-penned "Your Disco Needs You" is probably one of the best dance songs of the last ten years. Arguably one of the best disco records since the '70s, Light Years is Minogue comfortable with who she is and what she's good at. ~ Chris True, Rovi Read Less
