Penned by Kylie together with James and Sean from the Manics, "Some Kind Of Bliss", this could be a track from "Everything Must Go" albeit one sung by a diminutive antipodean starlet. Swooning strings, sweeping choruses and subtle chord sequences - trademark Manics in other words, but coupled with Ms Minogue's breathy and disco diva vox, making the single a marriage made in a strange but ultra cool heaven.

Just one question: why's "Little Baby Nothing" not on the b-side??

"Limbo" however is on the b-side, and is a more traditional (for the Kylester at least) glittery groove that sees Charlene pushing herself into Gloria Gaynor territory, bringing a sexy slinky bassline with her. The "Quivver" mix of "Some Kind Of Bliss" closes the single, and is a trippy ambient take on the song.

Rating: 10/10

The b-sides to this are the two versions of "Cowboys" that made up the band's previous limited edition single (previously reviewed), so if you missed that, grab this and bow down.

Rating: 9/10

"Nothing Sweet" is the first b-side, and is a gentle and emotional swooning ballad that is almost folksy (we're not talking Marilyn Manson here, so let them off), whilst "Gone" is the second extra track, a delicate construction of acoustic guitars and Wheeler's gymnastic vocals.

Rating: 9/10

"Not Another Drugstore" follows, but is not nearly so effective; the looped sample being more infuriating rather than hypnotic. Featuring a rapped vocal however, it is more of a song than the sonic experience of other Chems tracks. Last up is "Don't Stop The Rock", a track so unforgiving and unstoppable it could be used as a weapon by the army.

Rating: 8/10
