Celebration 1,306 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Yes, February the 13th 1998, a Friday, was the day Madonna released her single Frozen, and the world hasn't been the same since then. The strings floating over the track, Orbit's staggering techno beats and Madonna's haunting voice floating like an angel's, made it a perfect song. The video was sensational. Ground breaking and exciting. Dogs, snakes and birds were the perfect co-stars in this mystical masterpiece. But of course you know all about this. I just wanted to remind you. ;) After all, twenty years come and go, quicker than a ray of light... Have a nice day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drum Dub 1,883 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 So good memories. By that time I remember I was in Brussels, on my first trip to Europe and I heard a really short snippet of Frozen on the radio and something about a new album coming soon, it was still the pre massive internet era so all was more surprising and exciting. Then I saw the CD single in some german record store and I played it on those cd players they had for preview. I was so happy with the new sound, those incredible remixes and that beautiful cover. ROL was a great era skyfitswim, Celebration and MadgeSlave 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylanlioncourt 5,773 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Listening to it always feels like the very first time. It's beautiful in every way and the intro alone. Celebration 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celebration 1,306 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'm sure about the date. I remember thinking that it was a lovely early Valentine's gift to us fans. Also, it's confirmed in ICON #27, page 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celebration 1,306 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Wikipedia got the dates wrong. Ray Of Light was released March 3rd. ICON #27, page 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candy Perfume Boy 6,072 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 This was the second last cassette single I ever bought! Listened to it just before the album, and was somewhat excited by the single, but a bit scared by Shanti which was the B Side ....

brank000 2,145 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 It really depends on what you mean by release date. Singapore radio started playing it the last week of January in 1998 and then radio stations in europe started playing it a little after.

But yes, according to my ICON, the promo single was released to international radio stations on January the 23rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I remember walking into the music store on a Tuesday morning (when new releases used to happen in the 90's and 00's) only to walk out with two versions of the CD.... Later in the year, when at a Best Buy, I found a double CD called "Words and Music" edition. Of course, I snatched that up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
