- Don't worry about Kylie's music being enthusiastically
- promoted in North America. It seems to be enthusiastically
- ignored. Like I said, you need a vehicle (Neighbours)
- to promote the "product" which seems to sound like
- all other music pumped out by those" genius" techno
- producers. Some good music from Australia does
- get through though and does get a good reception.
