Album Review: The Scissor Sisters - Night Work

Finally, a third offering from The Scissor Sisters -- Night Work is the third studio album. Nearly four years after they last release the album Ta-Dah!. The band had teamed-up with acclaimed producer/mixer Stuart Price. Story has it that none of the then supposed tracks for Night Work had made the final cut. It's been told as well that the whole 18-month material was scrapped as the group was not confident enough to get behind this song - had that happened, it would deem that it's over for the band.  That is when they started re-scouting for resources and Jake Shears, the band's lead vocalist went to Berlin in Germany to find inspiration for new material for the first single and other tracks.Kylie Minogue had met Stuart Price at the time the band was in the middle of their Night Work sessions. It is known that Jake Shears is very good friends with Kylie and he mentioned that this was the path the group has taken in terms of production. Kylie was very much interested in the idea and had adopted this approach where all the finished cuts will go through Stuart for final processing. 
Between Ta-dah! and Night Work, I'm still torn which one is the better album. But one thing's for sure though - that Night Work is a real treat! 

The band had been performing live with Kylie on stage. The one that marked in the history of music entertainment is Kylie's debut at the Glastonbury Festival performing with the band the song Any Which Way which would be now the second single off the album.

Noteworthy tracks: Night Work, Fire With Fire, Any Which Way, Skin Tight, Sex and Violence, NightlifeInvisible Light.

01. Night Work
02. Whole New Way

Kylie Minogue - Aphrodite Mini-Mix (Aphromix)

Aphrodite minimix is up! Kylie said we'll hear it soon! And she was riiiiiight. Can't wait to get my hands on the Aphrodite record. But this mix will make do for now.






Kylie’s new album Aphrodite is just one month from its release, however Japanese fans will be the 1st ones to have it. To promote her new album Minogue made her appearance at Splash nightclub in New York (Splash premiere of Aphrodite mini-megamix) where she premiered a mix of several tracks from her new production. Tracklist: Get Outta My Way, Cupid Boy, Can’t Beet the Feeling, Too Much, Put Your Hands Up and Aphrodite.

In other news from Kylie, she recorded a Spanish version for All the Lovers entitled Los Amores and is supposed to release soon.

The Aphrodite Megamix features 6 new tracks from her new album, approx 1:30 of each one. Some people were talking that it would be a Confessions by Kylie, but they’re totally wrong, it gets a different orientation, more euphoric but with same quality in productions. Well guys here goes a taste from Aphrodite, hope you all like the songs as much as I did.

Get Outta My Way | Cupid Boy | Can't Beat the Feeling | Too Much | Put Your Hands Up | Aphrodite

 


By the sound of it: Cupid Boy & Can't Beat The Feeling are a future favourite. However, these sampling that I heard -- I LOVE every bit of it. Stuart Price may have really done a good job in the sequencing and mixing of the Aphrodite tracks.

What do you think? Your thoughts please --
