". . . there is old pop, there is new pop . . . then there is Kylie Minogue!This album is the quintessential Kylie Minogue record - it breaths new world in to the 'pop' arena.With the first two releases off Lights Years - 'Spinning Around' and 'On A Night Like This' debuting at No. 1, it's no surprise that Lights Years also debuted at No. 1 on the album charts and at the time of writing this review has already gone double platinum.Kylie Minogue's vision for this record was "sun, sand and cocktails" and with songs like 'Disco Down', 'Loveboat', 'Koocachoo' and 'Your Disco Needs You' Kylie is certainly on the mark. Surprising tracks include the anthemic club hit 'Butterfly' and the searing ballad 'Bittersweet Goodbye'; and the title track 'Light Years' is a brilliant pop song to close the album.The third single to be released from Light Years, the Robbie Williams duet 'Kids' is already a top 3 hit in the UK and is climbing the charts in Australia.Following 'Kids' is the latin themed 'Please Stay' which is released on the 11th December in the UK and Australia and promises to be another sure fire hit.I urge anybody reading this review to purchase Light Years - it is one of the best albums to be released this millenium.Kylie Minogue is a singer\songwriter not to be denied."
