"TPOG" remixes were truly subpar... it's hard to remix a ballad anyway.

Imagine if she did a Mariah and recorded different versions of each hit for her remixes. Mariah used to have the main version, the record a different version for a dance remix and a third version for an urban mix.

That's what happens when you open an original Photoshop project but you don't have the original font on your computer... they've changed the original "Ray Of Light" album font to an standard one.

Weird.

[New_Boy 7,876]

Yeah... Well, this is as good as it get folks!
Just ran a quick check against the tracks we had previously... The first six are slightly louder than what I have on my end, maybe a different single master or something. Tracks 7 and 8 are identical to the ones on the Promo CD. Lemme check out the vinyl exclusives...

~edit: The William Orbit Drumapella is pretty rough sounding and could be a cleaned-up vinyl rip, while the Calderone one sound pretty clean to me!

The pellas sound fine compared to what I had and there's no hiss even during the fade out. Sounds legit

Better to have good sound and faulty artwork that the other way around!

So...overall? A win?

[New_Boy 7,876]

Yep, I think it's great! At this point, any type of effort from her team is a big win for me, after years of neglect. The fact that they've delivered all of the officially released remixes for "Frozen", and will do the same for "Bedtime Story", is honestly incredible. The only downside are the previous EPs that now feel lame because they were testing out the waters. Maybe we could've gotten the "Rescue Me" dubs, the extra edit of "Justify My Love", the plethora of "Music" and "Secret" remixes...

Personally, I'm putting my Madonna collecting on hold, since I'm curious what CDs and edits are going to make it. I honestly feel joy thinking about scalpers selling 25-30 years old promos for hundreds of dollars only for them to turn basically worthless. Of course, some sucker might still pay 30 dollars for an edit already available on streaming, but they're simply a sucker and that's it. These are official releases, and are obviously meant to be the ultimate single release, so why bother chasing down three variants and four promos of the "Ray of Light" singles if there's going to be a digital release containing it all? Our prayers have been answered!

I don't know why I'm not excited about the Frozen remixes despite them being some of her best.

Am I broken? Is my heart not open?

Bedtime Story however I'm really looking forward to. Wonder if the LDLHA and Fever dates will be pushed back til 26th March and the 2nd of April?

Well... looks like they couldn't be bothered to buy the original font again for 26,99 €

Not that bad I guess, it could be much worse. Remember Geri Halliwell's 1999 debut solo single "Look At Me"?

Look what happened with the digital version...

Still can't believe it!

I mean I would LOVE that but the truth of the matter is Mariah has several more octaves and broad range that she can actually do that.  Love our lady of course but the vocals she records the one time, harmonies etc, are probably the most she could do unless she wanted to just do a different style, like speak the lyrics or something super random.

apart from the ones who were available since their release (from Hung Up to the current ones), this current batch (starting from last year) has so far included Vogue, Hanky Panky, JML, Rescue Me, Erotica, Secret, Human Nature, Music, LAP, and Frozen is dropping now.

[SuperBicycle 602]

Yeah woke up this morning and listening to them now. Sound great. This is one of my favourite Madonna songs.

Well... at least they used the same font (Eidetic), but the not the Sans version (like the original cover). It's Eidetic Serif.
