Through her various incarnations as Neighbours star, disco diva and mature artist, Kylie Minogue was always fighting a losing battle against credibility. She'll probably never be fashionable now but her new album shows that on her day she can turn out sexy, squeaky dancefloor pop as good as anyone - and that includes Madonna. Admittedly Light Years is inconsequential stuff and as with all Kylie's albums the quality is disappointingly uneven. But the best tracks have an engagingly bouncy quality and taken as a whole this is a much better record than most critics would like to admit.
