    Well it is a huge upgrade from the original upload. I don’t really see the purpose of having old footage in 4K? Can they really remaster it to make it look as good as something shot in 4K today?

    I think they’ve done a great job.

    Most of the old videos were don in film, so yes... If they do proper remasters from those, we could get true 4K versions

    The alanis' remasters are an example of that

    I think this Patrick Leonard interview from 2015 is what you're looking for -

    You were going to be the lead producer on “Ray of Light,” but Madonna went with William Orbit after you guys started working on it. Then it was wildly acclaimed and earned a Grammy nom for Album of the Year. Were you disappointed that one passed you by?

    No. We were always pretty straight ahead and upfront with each other. We went to Florida, we wrote all those songs, and then she just said, “Look, I came across this guy and I want to do it with him.” And I said, “Go.” After a little while, she said, “Can you come and help? Just help guide it.” So I did. And that’s what it was. I wasn’t uninvolved. In some ways, I was very involved, because it was a lot of little contributions that got made. What I remember always with her is it was never veiled; it was never some shrouded thing — it was like, “Here’s what I like, here’s what I want to do.” And I think it’s a great album.

    Are there any Madonna songs that never saw the light of day that you wish the world could hear?

    Let’s see. We didn’t write excessively at all. I think there was one song that ended up a B-side. We didn’t really write things we didn’t use, so the crazy thing about it is the “Like a Prayer” album was written a song a day over a two-week period, with the exception of “Oh Father.” We would just go in and write a song, and then go in the next day and write a song. The day we wrote “Like a Prayer” was no different than the day we wrote “Dear Jessie.” Something either worked or didn’t. And if it didn’t work, it was so much easier to just come up with something else. 

    One caveat is the stuff that we were going to do on “Ray of Light” that got changed — she did it more electronically, the way it went. Obviously coming off of “Like a Prayer” and all those other things and all of our history, it wasn’t without juice in its concept. It would have been ferocious in a different way. It wasn’t like it was going to be bad and it suddenly got good. There were some of these exotic voices, and there were really intense rhythm figures played by multiple instruments — stuff that was really fascinating. But some of those demos are still worth a listen to hear the song and go, “Wow, why didn’t we hear this?” I’m not saying it’s better than what came out, and I’m not saying it would have done better. None of that. But there was a lot of years there — our collaboration was 10 years old at that point. Like, “Frozen” is “Frozen” — that is the song we wrote. But I think “Skin,” the original version of that, was terrifyingly cool. And no one will ever hear it. It was something were you definitely went, “Wow, this is going to be amazing.” It was a really cool song, period, and it stayed a cool song. But there was something about that first song that was greasy and sexy and gross. It was really weird and I really liked it. The long and short of it is there’s no bad news at all from me where working with her was concerned. I wish her only the best and I’m proud of her for giving them hell all the time.

    YES! Thank you very much!!

    I absolutely get what you are trying to say! Those spiritual/mysterious vibes, that's what makes the album perfect, it makes you have VISIONS, she perfectly said it, this album is DRUG, if you want to know more search "pineal gland", a thing a lot of people has and can be stimulated with music like this, i'm also a Lana Del Rey listener and yes, her music produced by Rick totally gives me the same vibes as ROL, just listen "Salvatore", i'll tell you something since you seem to like all these vibes from ROL, some years ago i was searching a lot of music similar to this album, i asked in a lot of groups about music critics and blah blah, no one ever gave me something similar, but on that group i saw people praising an album by an argentinian rockstar (Gustavo Cerati), i listened the album Bocanada and wow, i really couldn't believe it felt like the Ray Of Light brother! the same ambient/electronic/psychodelia sounds plus the "put your head on my shoulder baby, things ca..." vibes (Bocanada came just 1 year later than ROL) i'd say Gustavo wanted to do something VERY similar to ROL and no one noticed but now i don't know since i listened his first album and it is also psychodelia music, please listen to it, no matter if you don't know spanish, you'll enjoy all the production! and now if you wanna keep reading this bible lol i'll tell you this story some Madonna spanish-speaking fans may know already but the ones of other countries not, also some years later from ROL, a mexican singer (Fey) released a COMPLETE COPYCAT of the ROL album, her album Vertigo, which has a version with all the songs in english, you can search the album art (scans) and compare to ROL and it's even the same position of texts, images, colors, she even tried to make her version of the logo, and the songs are kind of good but not really well done as ROL or Bocanada, by the way that album was a complete flop... listen to it if you want to, it's interesting :)  sorry for typing "vibes" like 7 times.

    YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

    I have never read if it was ever compared to Bocanada, but I've always felt it!

    Bocanada has the same mood and feels and even sounds as ROL... I've always wondered if he was influenced by the album OR if he was influenced by Orbit's work

    I love both albums and love what they make me feel!

    I'm actually on the opposite spectrum

    Since the clips for these demos leaked, I felt relieved as they are not (for me) what ray of light represents

    Dont get me wront... I LOVE being able to hear them and I love them for what they are... demos! Its amazing to see the process of how one song can evolve and reach its full potential with the right production

    Although I see your point... as far as melody and lyrics, most of them remain the same.

    But I think the core of this record (ROL) lies on its cohesiveness and trippy-like mood, as well as the enchanting vocals... and thats something to credit Orbit (and M of course)
