I was also pleased to hear that Enigma’s “A Posteriori” album has been nominated for a Grammy award at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards in the "Best New Age Album" category. The 49th Annual Grammy Awards will be held on February 11th, at Staples Center in Los Angeles and will be broadcast live on CBS. Fingers crossed- I hope Enigma wins!

12/11/06 - Well today Dannii Minogue was slated to release a new single, (an INCREDIBLE cover of Sister Sledge's 1979 hit single "He's The Greatest Dancer" coupled with the track "Gone" from her "The Hits & Beyond" album.
“He’s The Greatest Dancer” is an incredible remake... perhaps better than “Lovefight”, the track Dannii’s fans wanted released. Contrary to reports from fans that wanted "Love fight" released, AATW and Dannii's management felt the song was perfect as an un-released album track and didn't want to confuse listeners with Dannii's musical direction. Critics and press have said the song sounded like trashy pop similar to that of Girls Aloud rather than the dance music Dannii has become famous for in recent years. So now, no single... and once again, the song everyone wanted released was shelved. I don’t think the Music Industry has any room to cry when sales are down...
In other Dannii news... It has slipped that the six new tracks that appear on Dannii’s “The Hits & Beyond” album were never intended for Dannii's fifth studio album and were prospected B-sides and throwaway tracks, with the exception of “So Under Pressure” which was written especially to be the lead off single, with Gone intended to be the second, which never materialized due to Dannii's promotional commitments in Australia and Asia.
Today, Warner is releasing “The Platinum Collection” of Dannii Minogue. The album will feature several singles from Dannii’s “Girl” and “Neon Nights” albums, including some special mixes of those songs and more substantially it will contain six shelved songs from the “Neon Nights” London Records sessions including Tut Tut (Does Your Mother Know), Undeniable, Each Finger Has An Attitude and Blame It On The Music (a collaboration with Roger Sanchez).
"The Platinum Collection" came as a major surprise and delight to fans who faced disappointment over the seemingly endless delays that accompany every one of Dannii’s singles. Although the fans are happy at this news, it seems that Dannii isn’t and feels the tracks are of a much better quality than to be included on a mid-price album that is unendorsed by its artist to which I reply, earlier this year I said I thought it was too early in her career for a Greatest Hits album, and these 6 shelved tracks from the “Neon Nights” sessions along with the six new tracks used by AATW on her “Hits & Beyond” album should have been released together on one CD as her new album, rather than having two “Greatest Hits” albums in the marketplace both which include 50% new material.
