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.
