The new Kylie Minogue album, Boombox , is a remix collection of her songs. Sometimes remixed albums aren’t really worth it because they just seem like recycled music, but I think that in this case, it might be something to check out. Half of the songs have a kind of retro, disco feel to them. That’s most evident in “Your Disco Needs You.” This is the very worst song on the album. I felt like I fell through a time warp back to boogie down time. I understand that that’s the theme of the song, but the Village People-like chorus in the background is just too much. On the other hand, if you like the modern disco genre, there are a few other songs you might like, including the “On a Night Like This” remix, and “Spinning Around.” “Love at First Sight” combines that with a very ambient sound, while “I Believe in You” makes me feel like I am zooming through tunnels in a dark night.
