Canterbury and Thanet Visit

I popped over to Canterbury and the Westwood Shopping Centre on the Isle of Thanet today. In the cathedral, city it was another jewelry shop visit and in the latter location it was a phone shop visit. Westwood is one of this clinically boring out of town shopping centres that were so fashionable in the sixties and seventies. A soulless place open to the elements with poor public transport infrastructure, and simply designed just for the motor car. On the cusp between Margate and Ramsgate it is a place that does not inspire at all. I was glad to be out of there.

Currently in Canterbury again and just finished a ht spicy curry meal in the 'Sppons pub.

Atomic Kitten - Feels So Good(2004)
Track : Love Won't Wait




The great Atomic Kitten mystery. This is the with The Tide Is High on it. It's harmless enough but wouldn't make the cut for me even if it was a No Hit.Love Won't Wait is the killer here. A brilliant disco tune which rather oddly gives me a similar euphoric high to Margie Joseph's I Can't Move No Mountain. Another track called Feels So Good is enjoyable in a similar way but not quite there. Well done to Kylie Minogue for co-writing So Good anyway.

The great Atomc Kitten mystery is that after several listens of this CD I was ready to say nothing to see here because Love Won't Wait is so damned good I was totally convinced it must have been a massive hit single; played out, pop-charted and therefore ineligible. It was never a single though, despite standing head and shoulders above everything else on this CD!

Love Won't Wait

Notes :
Equally mysterious, Love Won't Wait was included on the illegal single CD Essential Atomic Kitten collection released in Germany but not on the officially-released double-CD 'Best Of.' Absolutely mad. The damned thing screams instant club and chart hit to me, especially if it was put out with a brace of trendy remixes.

Sleevenotes reveal two strong reasons why this track is so good compared to the rest of the CD. First up, it was written by Rob Davis and Alex Von Soosand they didn't pen anything else here. I don't know Soos (another name for the 90s / 00s Pop Notebook), but ex-Mud bassist Rob Davis is of course the co-author with Cathy Dennis of Kylie Minogue's awesome Can't Get You Out Of My Head.

Another minor but significant detail, it's the only track here with additional production by Ash Howes. Ash Howes is a bona fide superstar in the world of 90s / 00s pop and his name crops up again and again on 90s and 00s pop CDs.

Summary :
Splash 50p on this CD so you can sort a vinyl carve of Love Won't Wait for your next Wedding DJ set. It's one- tracker hands in the air disco heaven which would probably be ideal at Heaven or any similar disco-celebrating emporium.
