Hokay, i was a teen in the 1970's and i still love disco, and i wish we still had that joy and optimism and a profound conviction that is was right and good to feel joy as a human being when ever possible because, life. I listened to that kylie girl, and , compared, it seems to me, as much of modern music does, unfinished. there is a melody, but where is the harmony? the old music often has complex elaborate yet subtle counter melodies, and rhythms within rhythms. it seems like they just do not spend time crafting the song to its most refined. it languishes, somewhat. Thank you for showing me this though, i had no idea.
That’s a great observation I wouldn’t have picked up on—there’s definitely something to be said for the fact that the decline of studio musicians in favor of producers handling all the instruments, as well as sampling, might flatten those subtle aspects by masters of their instruments.
I was in Malta in '02, and it felt "Can't Get You Out of My Head" was coming out of every door I'd walk by. Shop, cafe, apartment; didn't matter. It was a huge signal to me that we were a long way away from her Stock Aitken Waterman days. It was also the catalyst for me diving back into her discography.

I like disco and I heard of Kylie, but didn’t know Kylie’s music was nu disco. I completely agree with what Artemis said in their comment
