Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.You'd think that a star as consistently poptastic as Kylie Minogue would be an absolute gift to remixers.
That, of course, would be to overlook the unerring ability of remixers to turn a silk purse back into a sow's ear. Sadly, a handful of examples crops up on this collection of Kylie remixes from the Noughties.
The 7th District Club Mental Mix of "Spinning Around" disembowels the original and turns it into soulless Ibiza fodder, while the Kid Crème Vocal Dub mix of "Love at First Sight" is generic funky house for faux-classy cattle markets.
Happily, they're joined by some glorious exceptions to the rule.
'Boombox' kicks off with Erol Alkan's inspired New Order/ Minogue mash-up "Can't Get Blue Monday Out of My Head", which began life as a bootleg, but was snapped up by Kylie and given an official release.
Other fine reworkings include Fischerspooner's "Come into My World", the Chemical Brothers' take on "Slow", and the narcotic minimalism of Whitey's "Red Blooded Woman". And the title track kicks gold-hot-panted ass.
