EP1 features the album version, a vibrant live version recorded at the O2 Arena in London, veteran studio maven Pete Hammond's Remix, Basto's Major Mayhem Edit and a huge treat for the Kylie faithful, a brand new unreleased track, "Silence," which was co-written with Aphrodite producer Stuart Price.
EP2 consists of five different remixes including the NERVO Hands Up Extended Club Mix, remixed by Australian twin sisters NERVO, the DJ/producer duo who co-wrote the song for Kylie.
The genesis for these EPs was a lyric video that Kylie placed on her YouTube channel as a thank you to fans for the support of the song during the live shows on the European leg of the tour. The music bed contains a special retro-flavored remix done by Pete Hammond, an engineer who worked on some of Kylie's earliest hits, and has become highly sought after by her international fanbase.
Kylie Minogue - Put Your Hands Up Lyrics Video:
Kylie wrapped the U.S. leg of the tour on May 22nd at the legendary Colosseum at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.
The North American leg, her most extensive outing in the region to date, began on April 28th in Montreal and featured shows in 11 U.S. cities including a 3-night stint at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom. Kylie then played to a 10,000 person crowd at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and visited three cities in Mexico.
Aphrodite Live's spectacular production wowed fans and critics at each stop along the way. "In Boston debut, Minogue soars to enjoyable heights!" exclaimed the Boston Globe while the Washington Post said "It was a show of epic proportions."
The Palm Beach Post said that "Minogue is a musical force on a limited stateside trek that shouldn't be missed," and the reviews shined city after city.
The pop goddess will travel next to Australia, South East Asia and will end the tour on July 14th in South Africa after playing a total of 76 shows around the globe.
To commemorate the beginning of the tour, Astralwerks Records released an exclusive digital EP North American Tour Bonus Edition on May 3rd. The EP consists of 5 live recordings, three from a semi-acoustic BBC Live Lounge session - Can't Get You Out Of My Head, All The Lovers and Get Outta My Way, and two recorded live in New York in October 2009 during Kylie's first North American Tour - Better Than Today and Confide In Me.
