CD Reviews: Kylie Minogue

Since being compelled under Australian law to become a pop star after starring in Neighbours, Ms Minogue has ploughed a singular furrow over the course of her 27-year career.

This retrospective, though geared towards the die-hard (it's her fourth such collection), is a fair distillation of why she has endured and endeared, from her days as Stock, Aitken and Waterman's marionette through to the sexed-up, hot-pants era and the sleek electro pop of the late '00s.

It's hard to look past the sheer ear-worminess of Can't Get You Out of My Head and Slow's seductive, futuristic R&B.
