Up Down Suite

Both should've gone way before the likes of Giving You Up and Black And White. Million Miles might be one of the worst songs she's ever put out, I do not understand how it can be brought up in any discussion as a comparison to Get Outta My Way. Won't be missing these, that's for sure.

I love that 'Please Stay' and 'Chocolate' are still hanging in there. Two of my favourite Kylie singles. The former has sadly been ignored throughout the years and with the way people criticise Body Language, I thought the latter would be long gone now.

I must say the artwork throughout this section has been stunning.

So glad Stars is gone. A touching theme behind it, but as in the case of No More Rain, flat production lets the side down. Cosmic is easily my favourite of her 3 most personal songs on X. There I've said it! As for Million Miles. great, great bop. But note ground-breaking either. Right time for it to go.

This is electric. It could easily end up being one of my all time favourite Kylie songs, the urgency in her vocal and the music was such a world away from the more commercial Kiss Me Once album, I adore the thing!


Comments were mixed, but all passionate...


Jam preaches my gospel!

@Jam - the "I CRY YOUR NAME" is brilliant

Yes Donut!

@mrdonut - I think this is something very special indeed. Some of the vocals are a little piercing at points but at 3:22 when it all suddenly goes off, I am absolutely in Kylie heaven. Great operatics at the end too.

Seeing comments like these was such a nice feeling.... (of course I'm impartial)

@WhatKindOfKylie? - One her best alternative Dance tracks since the 90's. If you were not aware of Kylie's recent work, you'd be forgiven for thinking this was a song from the Impossible Princess era-only much better of course. Wouldn't mind more songs in this vain in the future.

"The best things in life..." etc etc

@Ray - I don't really think that the Garibay EP was such a radical departure for Kylie. "Glow" mostly wouldn't fit on Kiss Me Once because of Garibay's atrocious mixing and mastering. But it is a gorgeous, gorgeous song and I still can't believe we got this EP for FREE.

I'm not so sure...

@AlmostFamous - this is a beaut, something I could imagine slipping on a Fever playlist. Bravo everyone involved.

Gaz appreciates this gift...

@Pop Gaz - I can’t hear the under-produced criticisms leveled at this (these) tracks, maybe I don’t have good enough headphones! It’s a lovely little gift for fans, no, I wouldn’t want it to lead an era, but a nice to have.

RRS is missing "something"??

@RRS - I really love this, but feels ruined by the production, too tinny sound and the music needs to be enhanced somehow, the verses are fine but the chorus feels like it is missing something.

It rumbled through some people...

@idratherjack - Monster of a track and that breakdown is life-changing. I first heard it on the tour and it rumbled right through me! I would not be averse to her pursuing this sound.

Isn't it?!!!

@roblognick - This entire EP was a breath of fresh air.

Andsov basically loves all the Sleepwalker tracks...

@Andsov - When Sleepwalker was showed on the Kiss Me Once tour I was mesmerized. The interesting thing with her Garibay-songs is that whenever I listen to any one of them I think that particular one is my favorite. 'Glow' has a wonderful atmosphere, Kylie's voice is very strong and the lyrics are perfect. Add the gritty, cool production and you got a solid 10.
@SloMover - Parts of the song are bit harsh and abrasive to the ear but it's nice to have hear Kylie with a bit more aggression.

The mixing again lowers Sophia's score :(

@SophiaSophia - I really want to give this a 9 but it's so badly mixed.

Thankfully Mikey was proved wrong!

@Mikey1701 - That church choir-esque introduction, that propulsive, pulsating double chorus and the life-altering breakdown, there isn’t a second of that masterpiece that I don’t love. I’m fully aware that this is likely to be one of the first tracks out given the general distaste towards Kylie + Garibay so let me say this - y’all are basic and can’t deal with this perfection.
@Remorque - One of the highlights on the Sleepwalker EP. Garibay’s stamp is firmly all over this, with Kylie being as seductive as ever.

We'll end on this intriguing observation from Booers...

@Booers – I was humming this at work once and a younger colleague thought I was humming BSB’s I Want It That Way! The “all night long” bit is quite similar melodically to “you are my fire, my one desire”.

Hmmm
