    Madonna Greatest Hits: Hopefully Out By Fall

    in ARCHIVE - Madonna

    Posted

    i was lookign through madonnafanzine today, and come by these posts:

    from stereomover:

    Oakenfold has remixed/extended his own tracks.

    Remixes and the single are being discussed now.

    Don't have much to confirm as of yet.

    Let's see how the rehearsals go.

    The tracks (and which versions) for the GH are also being finalized.

    Surprisingly, quite a few people are involved in this.

    from G_O_N_E:

    Yeah, I was told that Warners are pushing for two different versions, one "entire career" package, and then one that is 2000+ songs only?? I guess there was some confusion as far as the single goes, being that it's "Revolver", it won't appear on the greatest hits, because Warner will be able to collect a profit from it?? If it's simply a single, it'll be all Live Nation?

    Do u have to pay now 2 log in2 fanzine? :confused:

    I fixed it... here's the link to IRBYL: http://www.mediafire.com/?zmyjzmmd0yz

    (Also altered the description of the effect. It cancels out sounds that fall dead center in a stereo recording, leaving you with only what falls far left and far right in the mix. I was on my way out the door for work and pretty much explained it as the exact opposite, lol.)

    Thank u..... x.

    Okay I had not seen this '95 DIVA comparison b4.. :wow:

    Whitney : 'Before Madonna there was Babyface & I, need I say more?' :chuckle:

    The Bedtime Story party fan i mentioned earlier is there as well... :lol:

    I'm in a hurry right now, but you can wire almost any stereo to produce this effect, or use an audio file editor to simulate it. What it's doing is cancelling out the left and right channels of a stereo recording and leaving only what lands dead center in the mix.

    Here is Don't Stop - Full Length Isolated Center Channel: http://www.mediafire.com/?zftifjmmkkn

    My favorite from Bedtime Stories using this effect is I'd Rather Be Your Lover. It basically becomes an acappella: http://www.mediafire.com/?rydymzmqnn5

    I'll go through some of her stuff later and find the better ones to give examples. Here are snippets of the three off of the top of my head that produce interesting results:

    Into The Groove (low harmony bridge followed by high harmony secondary chorus :inlove:) http://www.mediafire.com/?rydymzmqnn5

    Nothing Really Matters (you don't even notice the "bobbling" synth/bass in the full mix, and the end harmonies sound lovely) http://www.mediafire.com/?1otmiznmt30

    Candy Perfume Girl (all minimalistic like, losing the guitar and bringing the lead vocal to the fore of the mix) http://www.mediafire.com/?qrnmgimyymj

    U slut! I love u..but u posted Into The groove...twice :fag:

    Yes- D&D has one of her worst looks in a video- WTF was she thinking with the shaved brows? Even the WTG-era brows would be preferable over no brows at all.

    And let's not get started on the 'do (two of them, actually- in the club and while eating the banana- though it didn't look bad in some of the "glamour"/photo-shoot shots.

    She bounced back with the BG video, looking pretty good.

    I don't have much desire in viewing the MA footage.

    Okay I can understand that..even though I love the D&D look..M ain't about being pretty...

    But with this MA footage..u can tell the Diva's face wasn't properly sitting....

    Don't Stop also has that retro Philly soul early disco Love Unlimited Orchestra sound that Love Won't Wait has

    I love the 'Don't stop' groove..& the vocal harmonies r just :wow:.. I used 2 have this

    function on my old JVC stereo where all background elements where brought 2 the fore..

    Don't Stop was very interesting when played like this..it's even more layered than u'd suspect...

    But upon 1st listen I felt it sounded kinda dated..it has a bit of a Janice swing vibe...

    I could definitely hear her do it 4 the 'Janet' album... :nocomment:

    & it might just b a wee bit 2 sugary..like it actually misses a verse where she'd rhyme 'dance' with 'romance' :chuckle:

    Plus it has that 'repetitive' element like most of the uptempo BS tracks...including 'Your Honesty'

    The track also should have had a slightly longer instrumental outro..

    But I like it a lot... :fag:

    It would've made a perfect hidden final track after, say, three minutes of silence follwing the end of "Take a bow." It's definitely of the album, but I can't think of how it'd sit within the album with such a consciously retro sound.

    That make any sense?

    Yes,

    This is from the aborted Shep sessions...

    So that means either it's the video from last October/November somehow leaking out, or that they put together a new video from the South America (DVD) footage but Warner didn't approve it and they now pulled it back because they own "Miles Away" as a track.

    It's quite obvious this video was dissaproved 'cuz of her face..it's the ugliest she ever looked on video..

    *File under : Example of why the Sticky DVD won't have any close ups. :fag:

    Rumors that "Revolver" has beencancelled as the lead single.

    If one of the Oakenfold tracks (i.e. "Celebrate") is the lead single, I don't see why there couldn't be a second single (both new tracks were issued from TIC, after all). It may be wiser, commercially, to release one of the Oakenfold tracks first, that may have a tougher time as the second single. You know, brand-new Madonna track, regardless of what it is, should fare OK in digital sales.Then, release the more radio-friendly track (with possible Lil Wayne guest appearance) as the second single- still may not be a BIG hit, but it may have a better shot as a second single than an Oakenfold track. We've seen how M's second singles (and beyond) have fared in the USA in recent times.

    At this point we know that 'radio friendly' collaborators don't mean anything. I'd rather have a flop single without

    Lil Wayne than with... .
