Pretty much what the cover he did was what he had been posting when Madonna first announced she was releasing a remix comp months ago. He has since been posting alot of iconic photos in his "style". He has quite a few Confessions ones. Mark my words...he is going to be considered if not already approached for the art. Apparently some fans think FEL looks great and some think art does matter and we just will probably have to deal with it. heikeeduardo, Babooshka and Confessions Lightside 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldo has not been posting teasers. When Madonna announced the compilation he just created a bunch artworks like he always does. And when Warner rejected the original design they probably contacted him and picked one of them as a starting point for the final product. The reissues will have the same covers as the original albums. If anything he would design the box art for the whatever boxsets are being made. 50ft Queenie, MattyMads, Confessions Lightside and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Everyone bitching about a damn album cover. That is like the absolute LEAST important thing of this. MUSIC is the main component we are getting 50 completely remastered remixes some that have never been commercially available and these will be easily accessible to all on digital platforms.

Pretender1978 993 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Nah, the artwork is in fact also important, I'm also guessing that most fans kind of were lured in by the visual aspect of Madonna, not just her pipes, and the iconic artwork that goes with each era is a big part of that. I'm mainly interested in what these re issues will bring musicly, but if they tamper with the original artwork or they are poorly designed (like the 3cd FEL box) I won't bother buying them I'll just download and add a nice picture to them in my itunes.

New_Boy 7,876 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Hot take of the day is that most of Madonna's single artworks are rubbish. The album artwork she mostly nails (looking at you, "Hard Candy"). The "Erotica" reissue should ideally come in a box that replicates the shiny SEX book cover and some sort of smaller/booklet version of it.

It's literally a greatest hits album disguised as a remixes compilation, to launch the reissues campaign. In that senses it works 100%, both the cover (the Deluxe one, not the other one) and the tracklist. I don't particularly like or enjoy "Celebration" as a project, but that compilation was for the general public and not hardcore fans: they don't care as we do if a version is one or another. So it worked in the end cause that was the goal. And even with that in mind, you can see there's been care and thought putting together the tracklist and remixes chosen on "Finally Enough Love". Even the remastering on the released "Into The Groove" remix sounds subtle and not too over the top. Let's wait for the final product, but so far all looks good.

Oh I'm not saying the tracklist is bad, it does its job but it definitely isn't anything exciting especially since alot of those tracks have already been uploaded on Spotify for their digital singles and i disagree with alot of thought being put into it. Its a standard tracklist. No surprises and very straightforward. It's very much GHV2 which fans bitched about then except this is in chronological order. wtg1987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The woman should have retired after True Blue. Her fanbase is totally undeserving of her body of work. Nothing is ever good enough and everyone wants everything catered to their specific wishlist. This is a retrospective of her remixes. At no point it was suggested that anything unreleased or new will be included.

Hardly revolutionary! That obviously worked a dozen times, but most of the time... simply didn't. "Vogue" is gorgeous, but it's a still from "Express Yourself". So is "Rescue Me", as a still from "Justify My Love". The less said about the "Rebel Heart"/"MDNA"/"Hard Candy" artworks, the better.

Let me explain a little bit why this was maybe genius on her part and another proof of how a smart business woman she was (is). We all know how smart she was with money and not wasting any of it on extra studio, recording time, etc. - Or simply shooting music videos just for the sake of it. We don't know for sure, but could it be that part of the original agreements to do those magazine photoshoots/adverts involved somehow the right to user any of the images on her own projects for free - and then having any free single cover she desired from the shoot? I mean: The GAP 2003 pics were used again and again that Fall. Confessions Lightside 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYSMM 673 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 It would have been so nice to get new remixes like 50 new ones.... To be honest I don't really see the purposes of this release. We will get some digital for the first time but they would have come one day or another since they are slowly slowly publishing her past single releases...
