I never owned the original 2001 pressing of Fever, so not familiar with the original version of Come Into My World must admit. The single mix, is actually my favourite of all the era's 4 singles.
Fix it! It puts the inferior single version to shame! -------------- Also, the only flaw that can be detected on Fever is that all the bonus tracks/B-sides aren't part of the main album. It's one of the greatest collections in the history of music for me.
Light Years is one of my favourite Kylie albums, but I can totally understand people not vibeing with it. Let’s be honest, Loveboat and Koocachoo are examples of very…niche camp pop songs, I love them but it makes sense that others wouldn’t.
Doesn't the single mix of "Come Into My World" exist because the original album version was largely incomplete due to it being a last minute submission, hence the Cathy Dennis-heavy vocals?
There is something so intentionally camp and fun in the lyrics of Loveboat and Koocachoo that I love. In my opinion they’re a lot more successful than Please Stay which was a formula-chasing pop song.
Doubt it - if they were worried about Cathy Dennis vocals, they wouldn't have let out the Fischerspooner mix as it is, with the Cathy solo lines (that Kylie mimed along to on TOTP). Kylie is all over the original album mix anyway, but belts it out, rather than the whispery vocals of the single mix - which she went on to use repeatedly on Body Language - but to me it doesn't fit the Fever album as much as the original.
My problem with the single release of "Come into My World" was that there were no b-sides, just some live tracks to promote the KylieFever2002 DVD (and completely redundant if you got the DVD with the bonus audio disc). For me I felt like I was just buying it for completism.
Flop fan. I've only just listened to the original album version of Come Into My World. It's vastly superior!
Isn't the original album version of CIMW mostly Cathy Dennis? If I recall correctly, there are a few lines that sound likely like her and not Kylie.
