Prior to Kylie's 2000 career revival, she released two albums under the dance label, Deconstruction. Though contrary to the title of the album as the songs weren't exactly hits, they present the best of Kylie in the past decade or so. Breaking free from the Stock-Aitken-Waterman factory, the sexy gal glamed herself up, released her first proper dance hit Confide in Me which reached #2 on the UK chart. A sensual song revelled in mystism, the lady followe up with one of her best hits ever, the sexy mid-tempo Put Yourself In My Place, a very favorite of mine. It didn't hurt when Kylie was orbiting nude in space in the video. Other gems from the album simply titled Kylie Minogue includes Where Is The Feeling and Automatic Love, a collaboration with Pet Shop Boys. A duet with Nick Cave also lent more credibility to Kylie.

Kylie went experimental on Impossible Princess (re-titled Kylie Minogue due to Princes Diana's untimely death) in 1997, working with some of the best in the industry including a member of the Maniac Street Preachers. the album was a mix of modern dance and electronic coolness and Kylie shines on Did It Again and another career milestone Breathe.

Other gems found here include several unreleased tracks that were b-sides to the released songs. Though a blatant cash-in on the part of the record company, it's a good way for old and new fans to own all these songs on one CD. Unfortunately, the US edition left out the Nick Cave collaboration Where The Wild Roses Grow and This Girl.

Buy this to discover Kylie! You wont be disappointed. You wont get Kylie out of ur head!

Well, Kylie is rubbish really and these sound like a bunch of songs Madonna rejected and have been saved from the cutting room floor....Oh and I bet Ms Minogue never wrote a single one of them, that's the ironic thing about Kylie which seems amusing, she releases a great song which in turn gives her some fleeting credibility (something which she has strived for all throughout her career)and they turn out to be songs written by an 80's pop hasbeen normally. Kylie's always taken the easy option out when it comes to taking risks and in achieving respect from her peers and universal credibility in the music press, but this is an album dedicated to an era in which Ms Minogue took herself far too seriously (like Kylie is known for) but at least she doesn't pretend any longer, put it on if you have to and enjoy the worst part of Kylie's disastrous career.

Whether your a new, or old fan of Kylie's this cd is perfect for you! The collection of songs, some of which are unreleased or in a different version, will surely put a smile on your face. You might have to listen to it over and over before you grow to love it, but by then you'll be so happy u bought this cd!
-Confide in me - a beautiful, cool song with strings violins and percussion (5/5)
-Put yourself in my place - and absolutely catchy ballad. Just cause its slow doesn't mean you have to switch tracks. trust me, keep listening and you'll love it! (5/5)
-Did it again - a cute up beat song (4/5)
- Breahte- not too fast not too slow, but a sexy tune (4/4)

- Automatic love - a pretty song. This is the acoustic version, which is even more beautful (4.5/)
-Take me with you - there's just something about this track that I love. Maybe its the eclectic sounds, and mellow voice of Kylie. Anyways I love it, u should give it a listen! (5/5)

This is the hits collection put out by Arista /BMG Heritage to show America the Kylie that BMG had from 1994 to 1998. This collection features the European hits "Confide In Me" in its full length version,"Put Yourself In My Place","Where Is The Feeling"(in remixed form),"Some Kind Of Bliss", "Did It Again"and"Breathe". The songs are less dance and more pop to almost alternative rock in stance. The other songs are from her two BMG collections or b-sides or rare tracks. The track "Where Has The Love Gone" is the Roach Motel Mix(9:25) and is rare --for all the Kylie Remix.... "fans" . This is a collection of songs from her years between her PWL and EMI days. It shows growth on her part and faith on the fans part for following her to wherever Kylie wanted to go.

I have been a huge fan of Kylie Minogue since I heard "Light Years" almost two years ago, before anyone in this country has rediscovered Kylie with "Can't Get You Out Of My Head". I wasn't sure if I wanted to get "Hits Plus" but when I saw that I haven't heard the majority of the songs, I decided to buy it. I am rather disappointed that on the copy that I have didn't include her duet with Nick Cave "Where the Wild Roses Grow" from Nick's album "Murder Ballads". That is truly one of Kylie's best songs although it is a duet. I believe the version of "Hits Plus" that includes "Where the Wild Roses Grow" is on the import version. Anyways, all of the songs on "Hits Plus" are songs prior to "Light Years" when Kylie's music was less popular than today. The only songs I have heard on this cd is "Some Kind of Bliss", "Did It Again", and "Did It Again", and "Breathe". Those songs are from "Impossible Princess", probably my personal favorite Kylie cd. The rest of the album is new to me. A lot of the older songs have that jazz/torch influence. They don't sound anything like what I have heard on "Impossible Princess", "Light Years", and "Fever". There some excellent club tracks like "Tears" and "Put Yourself In My Place". My one problem with this album is that towards the ends of the album, the songs started to sound alike. I think it could have been shorter but that is just my opinion. Overall, this is a really good compilation of Kylie's earlier songs pre-"Light Years" and "Fever".
