    in ARCHIVE - Madonna

    Posted

    Paper Planes #3?? Please. The original M.I.A. got the sampling from should be #3 instead, yeah screw the XXI century.

    Of all the great, superior tracks by Alicia Keys they pick that pain in the ass Lonely Boy at #10?

    Same with Rihanna, of all her songs they pick We Found Love? Don't Stop The Music should be there.

    And Madonna at #46 with Hung Up. What is this list based on?

    Ridicolous as all Rolling Stones top of something lists.

    yeah it does! I hope when we get there there will be signs etc, somewhere like Chinatown it could turn into a hot mess without proper instructions

    where's GU!!! OMG hahaha he's gonna freak!

    Yeah it could be a bit of a mess: on the official #secretprojectrevolution link here it shows a location right next door to The Curzon cinema, Dr Wyman Chan London (?) on Shaftesbury Avenue, whereas Gerrard Place is right across the red flag point.

    Oh well, there will be indications somehow... I hope!

    The one I am probably going to in Chinatown looks outdoorsy but I am not entirely sure.

    so far this showing in other cities is exactly what i wanted it to be like! not just on youtube or whatever.

    now imagine if she'd premiere it at the film festival :o (i doubt that though im sure they're only screening it at those places but WOW.. it'd be the icing on the cake)

    hopefully this is a damn good movie :lmao:

    Exactly! I love it like this!

    What Culture: 50 Albums That Defined the 90s

    in ARCHIVE - Madonna

    Posted

    Not a ranked list, but chronological order.

    Note: Obviously, LAP was an album that gave her credibility, as well. But, because of the controversy and such, some may not have gone near it.

    Ray of Light Madonna

    Madonna’s 7th studio album is where she truly gained credibility, and appreciation from music critics and music buyers, who wouldn’t have gone near one of her previous releases. It nearly didn’t turn out the way it did, but then Madonna’s manager and partner in her record label, Maverick Records, Guy Oseary, had an epiphany. After failing to connect with several other producers that were not getting where the singer wanted to go with ‘Ray of Light’, he told her to call William Orbit. What a stroke of genius that idea was. A big fan of his own work, namely the ‘Strange Cargo I and II’ albums, she set up a meeting and of course, he jumped at the opportunity to work with the world’s most famous female singer. The Englishman seemed to understand exactly the head space Madonna was in at the time and together the two constructed ‘Ray of Light’, with its predominantly, electronic and ambient sound, very much aping a lot of the Trip Hop that was extremely popular at the time. Orbit has said on many occasions that he is very grateful to Madge, for seeing what nobody else saw in him at the time, and giving him a global platform for his work. Since ‘Ray of Light’, high profile work has come thick and fast, in his direction.

    Madonna had taken intensive vocal coaching, in order to expand her vocal style and abilities, due to her lead role in the 1996 movie, ‘Evita’. Also, the same year, the birth of her daughter, Lourdes, had given her a whole new outlook on life. She became very into Kaballah and Hinduism and started practicing yoga and meditation. Her new found spiritualism, influenced the overall lyrical and musical feel of this album. Although, usually introspective, with her words, it was noted that she had never been so candid before, and that her approach was much more mature than in the past. A good example of this new found perspective is perfectly encapsulated on the delightful, ‘Nothing Really Matters’. The new timbre in her voice is obvious all over the albums 13 cuts, but when the delicately dark and beautiful lead single, ‘Frozen’, was released, it was glaring, and many a man fell in love by just hearing her singing. The new aspects in her voice also really suited her new ‘Mother of the Earth’ vibe that she had going on.

    Funnily enough, the albums title track, and second single, is, by some distance, the weakest track on display. It was a smash hit internationally though, almost doing as well as ‘Frozen’. She even sings in Sanskrit, for the song ‘Shanti/Ashtangi’, and is very convincing. Orbit’s talent for mixing guitars with electronica is superbly exploited on, ‘The Power of Goodbye’. The song has an absolutely sublime synth/string refrain and the vocal melody in the chorus, is easily one of Madge’s most memorable and moving. Closing track, ‘Mer Girl’, deals with mortality and the death of her mother, and is a logical way to close the record.

    ‘Ray of Light’, has sold 16 million copies, worldwide, and has been named by Madonna, as the favorite of her releases. With her vision, and Orbit’s know-how and collaboration, it made her as relevant, if not more so, as she was at her peak in the 80′s. As well as still being celebrated as a Pop-artist, now more specialist corners of the music press took notice, as well as high-brow, broadsheets, all unanimously agreeing that the album was an instant classic.

    YES YES and further YES indeed! :thumbsup:

    Thank you :)

    I agree.

    and also this was so much better than twitter! we got full answers when she wanted full answers and short witty ones when she wanted short witty ones. no ridiculous character limit. I really like this reddit thing actually. I still don't quite get it but it's less superficial opposed to how twitter sometimes can be. it's more in depth. none of that short memory superficial BS. (not that all of twitter is like this, but it's certainly perceived like that.)

    Absolutely. Plus the waiting time in between comment posting i think discourages nasty trolls.
