I PARTLY AGREE WITH MARC FROM PIGALLE. I ALWAYS FELT THAT KIMBER, LIKE BONNIE TYLER WAS SO SUITED TO DOING HEAVY NUMBERS, EITHER ROCK OR HIGH ENERGY TYPE, THAT IT JUST DOESN`T SUIT P**S WEAK TWEE SONGS, AND THAT IS WHY I LOVE THIS POUNDING, FRANTIC, SCREAMING MASTERPIECE. `SORRY, BUT, TO ME, THIS IS COULD BE A DIFF. SINGER TO MATERIAL LIKE `THIS I SWEAR` AND `IN MY LIFE`, THE LATTER WHICH I ESP. DISLIKE. AT LEAST WITH `CAN`T SAY GOODBYE`, THERE IS A CERTAIN DEPTH TO IT, THAT REDEEMS, BUT I ALWAYS FELT THAT ALBUM ONLY LIFTED TO ICONIC STANDARD WITH THE `CAN`T GET ENOUGH...`. FABULOUS, DJ!

Excellent job, Mark! You added more power. I like this way. A classic mix and so another Kim's hit!
Alright my Top 5 Worst Singles from Kim :
Number 5... IT'S HERE : The music is so slow, the production is too close (arf) to the Close Album and the lyrics are quite "gnangnan". A very weak single which was a big flop.
Number 4... BREAKIN' AWAY : The remixes are great (especially the T'Empo Dub) but the original production.. yuck! Boring, not catchy.. And the video!! Rollerblading in California is OK but who really cares ?
Number 3... IN MY LIFE : Though I liked the Rickstyle Dub (something like that). I think it's a very weak single, the lyrics are very cliché (probably taken from a self-help book).
Number 2... I CAN'T SAY GOODBYE, cheesier than a fondue savoyarde !
Number 1... BORN TO BE WILD... I mean Kim Wilde singing Born to be wild ?? She really needed the money don't you think ? After a couple of times, the song sounds old. And the video is really pathetic... The extra track, All about me, is great though.
Hmm, what I wrote may sound harsh. But hey, I'm a big fan of Kim, especially the RAK years where her sound was fresh and really rocky.
The song rocks, your mix adds fuel to that high-energized cover song. So it wasn't a hit? In my heart and mind, this is a classic from now on. Great to skate at high speed to!
Thanks for revamping the song your way, without losing the Wilde touch!
