ryan Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Just came across this today, William Orbit held a workshop last night at LEAF where he played new remixes of Falling Free and Gang Bang. He also played his 1990 remix of Justify My Love while on guitar. You can check out the full stream of the workshop here: http://www.be-at.tv/brands/leaf-hub/molecules-of-sound-william-orbit/william-orbit I also recorded the audio of the 2 remixes off my computer. It's not perfect as I was recording it from a live steam, so it's a bit glitchy. But I put them up on my soundcloud if you want to check it out and download. If anyone has a better, clearer, HQ rip of this, do share if you can! Do note that the GB remix was mixed into Water From a Vineleaf, but he also plays the remix again later. So that's why the music kinda stops and starts again.

Bill Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Interesting. He says in the beginning of the FF mix that she actually had a bad cold when she sang it. I can totally hear that, always thought that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Oh for fucks sake. Why wasn't Falling Free a single? i really don't care about sales and chart statistics and all that bologna. but i love madonna's music so much, that it moves me to the point that i just want to bombard everyone i see and tell them to "listen to this." because i want them to feel what i'm feeling. i want them to hear the brilliance in madonna's music. Falling free is like that. they could have pulled a lana del rey and release this remix to radio. people need to hear this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetCandy Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 It's good to see him promoting the songs even if she's not. Thanks for posting!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erotica blu Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Orbit should have remixed the whole album. He has stronger musical instincts than the other collaborators on MDNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Oh for fucks sake. Why wasn't Falling Free a single? The same could be said for a few other tracks on MDNA, it weird having the most tracks on any M studio album, it had the least and worst singles. Thanks for posting these remixes they are both great, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXL Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 http://www.madonnarama.com/posts-en/2013/11/11/william-orbit-how-madonna-happened-to-me/ London Electronic Arts Festival (LEAF) is a major new city-wide event for London, showcasing its innovative heritage in electronic music. Through a series of talks, technology masterclasses, installations, screenings, parties and performances, LEAF explores and reclaims the legacy of London as a pioneering figure in the global electronic music movement. William Orbit performed a prototype concert in Shoreditch on November 9th 2013 as part of LEAF where he talked about his career, answered questions and also played some music. One of the questions from the audience was of course about Madonna. Here is a transcript by Madonnarama… Q&A video here: (starts at the 16min mark - talks about Malcoml McLaren - Vogue - Paris is Burning and at 18.45 someone asks him about his work with Madonna) http://www.be-at.tv/brands/leaf-hub/molecules-of-sound-william-orbit/william-orbit Tell me a little bit more about how Madonna happened. How you sort of walked into that? William Orbit: I’ve done a couple of remixes. It was “Justify my Love”. I might play it later because I’ve done a remix version of it. I sent them off on cassette and I’ve written my phone number on it and I got a call… from her. What happened? I had an album, but nobody liked it. Warner said “it’s not working for us, it’s just not happening, sorry.” Then I was getting called by Guy Oseary, who is her manager, saying “got anything for Madonna?” In fact, we were driving around LA, working with Laurie and she said “send it.” I didn’t want to, but she said “send it, you got nothing to lose.” I sent the whole album and [Madonna] called me five days later, when I was back in England, out of the blue, in the kitchen. I said “How did you get my number?” She said “Oh, it was on a cassette. We dug it out of a pile of cassettes, your number. By the way, I’ve written loads of stuffs on these songs I really like. Would you like to come to New York and carry on?” I went out there, to her apartment in New York with all these cassettes and things… no organisation, no idea how I was going to do this. I never done anything of that level at all. She said “This is great. Let’s start tomorrow.” We did the songs and they worked out brilliantly. I felt really good. It was like love at first site and then it quickly turned into frustration… deep frustration on her part, because I was so a rookie. I didn’t know what I was doing at all… with equipment. I was on an Atari games computer, two of which I had, because they would catch fire. They would literally burn if they got hot, so I always had to have two. They were brown, nicotine stained and she likes things clean and pristine. There’s all these professional American engineers coming in. I was like “I can’t compete with you guys.” Then she got very frustrated. She called me in and was like “I liked you, but now I’m starting to really hate you.” Then, the song “Ray of Light” happened and people came to the studio… she brought a couple of people. They were all digging it, so she was like “hmm.. maybe we could do something if we keep going on.” I had this engineer, American guy, but he was really angling to get into this whole thing. He was making me feel quite insecure with my little homemade rig. She knew that it was going to be one of us two. She said “It’s the haircut. His haircut is wrong. I can’t work with people if the hair…” That was her way of getting out of this difficult question with dignity. William Orbit played three different Madonna remixes: - a “Nasty” version of Gang Bang (around the 30m50s mark) - Justify my Love (around the 1h35m40s mark) - Falling Free version based on Rico Conning remix and the unreleased Ferry Corsten remix (around the 1h40m50s mark) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
