PlayPause reacted to DoneGone in Why is it so difficult now to find download links for Madonna's first 4 albums and I
Sadly it just the way it goes. The remasters usually become the new main ones and the originals are left behind. Which is a pity.
The 2001 Madonna remasters became the standard editions for those three first albums, and mastering is very different from the originals.
"True Blue" is even worse cause with the 35th digital edition it got an even louder worse mastering and every digital edition of the album was updated with that one.
I'm not against remasters per se, but always keeping the originals, especially on streaming. I don't like the rewriting history part of that when the just upload the new files and delete the originals.
As fas as I know, only Qobuz now has the first 4 albums in their original form/mastering:

But wow at those prices.

PlayPause got a reaction from jmrgby88 in Someone should fire M's video producers! 'pro shot' footage in 4:3 720@20fps while fa
Stage screens certainly don't have a 4K display, they don't need 4K video files.

Stage screens are not regular lcd tv or computer screens. Their resolution in such sizes and for arena audiences don't really compute the same way. Priority with such displays is brightness and wide angle visibility. Plus many sources and archive used in the show are not 4K to begin with so it doesn't really matter, I guess.

lol, these clips were ripped from her insta. I'd guess she put them like this bcz it was insta & it fit better in the square aspect ratio, I have no doubt the real footage that will be used is better.

PlayPause reacted to RUADJAI in Who is the coward who reported my last status? Come out homophobes.
No one reported it, I hid it because we don't need people calling other people "fucking bigots" on the main page. It's not the vibe.

Yeah, it's greyed out for me too, but I don't know where @Confessions Lightsideis talking from.

PlayPause reacted to MDRA in Does Dolby Atmos is a must-have? Or am I just using a wrong software to listen to it?
Dolby Atmos is just some cheap way to emulate 5.1 in headphones for lossy music with proprietary encoding and decoding.
Do you have a 5.1 system? If you do, then you'll get something more than stereo out of those files played in Audacity. If you don't, I'm afraid you can't enjoy the full effect.
Anyway, they're lossy files, so of course the stereo lossless is better.
P.S. Popular and Vulgar are not good examples of the technology. Björk's Fossora Dolby Atmos sounds like regular 5.1 when played on a PC with a compatible audio system. But still very lossy.

Yes, it's amazing she looked into it. Of course I Love New York is a relic of this intention.
Some bits of COADF come from demos written for the Luc Besson musical that never was, which reportedly travelled through genres and decades. Rock music was part of it, probably with Bowie in mind of course. And I recall interviews from the Confessions era in which she credited Iggy Pop as an influence.

Hum, looks fishy to me.
The title on the front is reversed. See comparison with another very low res single cover:
A reverse search on the image brings up another fishy version:

PlayPause reacted to Brendanlovesu1 in Madonna is being accused of queerbaiting on Twitter by 15 year olds, god give me stre
Oh I'm not, but they've supposedly found an interview M did with the advocate in the eraly 90's where she said her first sexual experience was with a girl when she was 7, then they started a conspiracy theory that Madonna and kd lang were in a PR relationship to sell records (AAIK they shared a publicist and madonna joed that she fancied kd because she looked a bit like Sean), I think the kids need to go outside and touch some grass

PlayPause reacted to Adonna in RUMOR: #setlist NOT official #thecelebrationtour
Seems like too many songs for a typical 2 hour show. Also, I don't believe Madonna knows the set list yet. I believe they are still hammering that out, and it won't be complete until they start rehearsals, seeing what works and what doesn't.
