It's fine if you don't hear it, and I don't need to force anyone to look for it either, but it's audible and visible (FYI I bought it from Qobuz). It's not a huge buzz lol, but it's definitely there. I'll give it a listen on other platforms later today to see if it's just a platform thing.

Here, in case you need the proof btw.

I think it's beyond that - these AI splitter tools almost always introduce other buzzing sounds, so they're not perfect on their own. I'm not 100% sure if that's what was used or even what caused it though, of course. Still, I can't hear this buzz by boosting the high-end of the original leak. This is around the 4k region (if you cut the frequency around that area with EQ, the buzz is almost gone). For anyone else curious, here's an original leak vs. 2025 clip of the intro:

You can also see the line around the 4k area in pic #2 - doesn't exist in the original leak (pic #1):

I'm considering canceling this, unfortunately. I listened to Gone Gone Gone and it has this annoying buzz (probably from the AI tools used to "master" this) that is not present in the original leak. Unless there's an incredible edit somewhere, I'm not sure I would be getting my money's worth with this. :/

How am I complicating my life? Took me less than 5 minutes to hear and confirm what I was hearing. I enjoy life plenty and part of that is because I’m curious about stuff - feel free to enjoy yours differently. 😘
It was fine as it was though? It was a WAV file and didn’t have that buzz sound to begin with.
Enjoy it! I think this is the place to discuss the release, is it not? I was plenty excited for it but I’m going to post about it if I find something worth posting about. 😊

Except this "creative form of expression" stole my artwork, graphic design, print designs, animated logo, tracklist layouts (my spreadsheets throughout this project were intense so I'm particularly annoyed about this one) and vinyl artwork, laid over the top of A.I.-animated Mario Testino photos, with a voiceover from a 90s commercial.
You can literally see my website URL (brad.kiwi) on both of those screenshots and throughout these videos because their "creator" didn't even bother to read what they were adding to their A.I. slop and claiming as their own work - literally claiming, with a hilarious copyright/all rights reserved statement. The video descriptions also copy/paste text directly from my webpage; one of those descriptions actually quotes "In the graphic above, the top row are the Before images and the bottom row are my recreations" for some bizarre reason.
The real project can be viewed at brad.kiwi/rayoflight and the creator of these A.I. slop videos can kiss my ass.
Amen.

We all know that Warner downloaded it from the internet to be able to put it on Veronica Electronica, right?

Haters will say it's AI

OMG just heard the full and that remastering job is atrocious! All of its bass has been almost completely removed, treble amplified and it sounds so heavily limited/compressed 🤪. Definetely made with some AI remastering software cause this ain't it.. Thank god for the WAV leak.

Well he should've pushed her even harder on those Living For Love vocals

🙌

wonder no more! it's here and in its crispy high quality:

Oh puh-lease. Could you imagine Vogue on Ray of Light? Or Material Girl? Weak sauce argument. Her songs aren't interchangeable between her albums. She's not Gaga. The context of her work on her albums is absolutely important. It was a foward thinking song musically and fun and self assured lyrically. Thematically the same as Burning Up, Over and Over and Give it 2 Me. The only flaw is that it isn't longer.

Remember 10 years ago when Madonna was obsessed with posting an image that transformed into another image… for no reason. Low quality images. She should totally revive that now with The Untold Chapter transforming into Veronica Electronica. THAT would be some good advertising,

Thank you for explaining! That makes sense somehow haha.

She could have had Sickick remix the rest of the album though, that would have been a real treat for fans
