Notable Songs:

Put The Needle On It
I Begin To Wonder
Hey! (So What)
On The Loop
Push
Mystified
Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling
Vibe On
A Piece Of Time
Who Do You Love Now?

Vibe On is possibly my favorite:

Instead of just lying there
why don't you show me that you're powerful?
I, I put in triple x batteries
just so you'd give me something wonderful turn you on

Change you up fast and slow
till I find the frequency I like

[Chorus:]
Plug it in give me my vibe on
Give me viberations
That's what gets my ride on
gotta have viberations
Jump on top it, sit right on it
Plug in give me my vibe on
gotta have viberations

(Vibe)

I don't wanna put you down
Looks like I'm a viberaholic now
I, I need you coming with me everywhere
Lately I smile so much I'm getting stares

Change you up fast and slow
till I find the frequency I like

[Chorus x2]

[Rap]
You be like giving me viberations
The ultimate stimulation straight out of the box
Ugh, no hestitation
Your speakers like a pony that I love to ride
Making me crazy when the volums high
You're compact so I can take you anywhere I want
Make my friends scream out loud
I want what she's got
Supernatural doing things that normal man can't do
So let me take you out, try you out, I'm in the mood

Change you up fast and slow
Till I find the frequency I like

[Chorus]

Keep on giving me, keep on giving me my viberations [x4]
Plug it in give me my vibe on
Give me viberations[/u]

so this thread is not about Black Sabbath?

maricon!

She is gutter trash, too much surgery, not enough talent. calling her a gay icon is an insult to gays.

In europe she is generally known as a icon, that is her and Kylie's only claim to fame. They are the poor mans Madonna at best. They are so untalented I can't even fathom how they became succesful. sure i can understand if people enjoy the prodcution of their music (thanks to their producers), but them! just so ugh! They are european Paris and Nicky Hilton gone crazy on plastic surgery.

Dannii's only good album, and it's a great one!

The only gripe I have is with the inclusion of "It Won't Work Out". It didn't.

Here's my review:

Poor Dannii. Often maligned as the less spectacular Minogue, since 1987 Dannii has been overshadowed by her sister Kylie. Yet with Neon Nights, she proves that there is room for 2 Minogues in the music biz. Sadly, the album went mostly unnoticed despite its infectious fun.

Neon Nights is by and large a retro dance album. From the opening vinyl hiss audible on the opener "Put the Needle on It," Dannii 'n crew unleash a whirlwind recording filled with rubbery synth bass lines either inspired by or lifted directly from 80s funk tracks. Only 2 songs exceed 4 minutes in length, while the rest deliver their punches in rapid succession.

The album is anchored by its singles. The aforementioned "Put the Needle on It" is a raunchy scorcher with a truly warped bass line and tantalizing synth touches. Another track predating the rest of the album, the frenzied "Who Do You Love Now," a cut released with Riva in 2001, is a rare moment on the album that is truly driven by emotion. Arguably the album's best track, "I Begin to Wonder" plods along to the octave-stepping bass line before opening up to a blinding chorus reminiscent of Sly Fox's "Let's Go All the Way." Less effective, "Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling" is still enjoyable, straight-forward pop.

Despite being spear-headed by its singles, Neon Nights offers more highlights. The sultry "Creep" is one big burst of pheromones, while "Mighty Fine" is an engaging, funky track. "Push" successfully samples the often lifted riff from "White Pony," while "A Piece of Time" sounds like a video game with some timely short circuits. Unfortunately placed at the end of the sappy "It Won't Work Out," the bonus track "Come and Get It" is 6 minutes of house pleasure. Not only is the album fun, it is also quite humorous. "Vibe On" is a not-so-subtle ode to her bedtime friend, while "For the Record" features some of the most spastic vocals put to record.

Nevertheless, the album does suffer some weak moments. "For the Record" is at times too humorously bad to bear, while "Mystified" is simply bland. "It Won't Work Out" is a cheesy ballad that has no place on this high-paced, fun album.

Released in early 2003, Neon Nights is an unexpected triumph from the lesser known Minogue. Although it didn't garner the commercial gaze it sought, it is a step in the right direction for Dannii. A fun, effervescent listen, Neon Nights is above all else a great dance record. There isn't much beneath the surface here, but who cares?

I think I prefer the cutesy Euro poppy original "Don't Want To Lose This Feeling" to the Madonna "Into The Groove" mix but both are great. "Put The Needle On It" kicks ass. Very dark and sexual yet playful. Some of the songs are weak but overall it's a good album...Hopefully the new one will good as well. The Beat on Sirius used to play "Perfection" quite a bit (not sure why....isn't it not a US release?) and I grew to like it (it was really the shitty video with it's awful dancing that turned me off).

BTW, Dannii clams "Vibe On" was influenced by a memorable scene with a speaker from Howard Stern's "Private Parts", not a vibrator per se.

It reminds me of the Vibrator outtake of Vanity 6. I deleted it without knowing!

lilgish said:

I don't get it!

MikeMatronik said:

it's called a thread jack

lilgish said:

LOL! I thought the same thing! Ronnie James Dio!

Not a fan of any "Minogue" chick.

VinnyM27 said:

Yeah, those speakers really have "triple-x batteries" and inspired such moans!

I've heard that too, but Dannii just didn't have the balls to fully admit that she's all about her vibrator!

I LOVE this album!

Pure pop perfection.

"Just for the record, I! DIG! YOU!"

It's a shame she's ruined her carreer when she left London records and signed 2 ATTIAC...

Now she does stupid vocals for dance covers (I rather enjoy some of them )

Love the bsides... Hide and Seek, Nervous and The Goodbye Song!

great album.

MikeMatronik said:

Explian? The last things I heard from her where "You Won't Forget Me" and "Perfection", which takes a more than generous sample from "Turn the Beat Around" but isn't a cover.

VinnyM27 said:

sorry...I wanted 2 say "give lyrics 2 dance instrumentals" MEA CULPA!

VinnyM27 said:

London was reorganizing and possibly folding... they gave Dannii the option to stay or to leave. she chose to leave. Not sure why ATTIAC is so bad.
