I love "Has To Be" so much it should be included in the tracklist everywhere She didn't include it in the US because according to Kabbalah 13 is a lucky number.

doppelganger 3,923 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I love Nothing Really Matters. It was on MTV constantly so I’m a little shocked at how terribly it did on the Hot100. 1998 was a great time for music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavadour 2,257 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 My first William Orbit emotion was his Ode to Billy Joe cover on the Torch Song album of 1984 Wish Thing. I still own that vinyl treasure. Then the Strange Cargo suite with the oh so sumblime (still now) SC III. The productions with and for Beth Orton... So when rumors came that WO was producing the future Madonna album Ray of Light I already knew we were in for something huge. I got the same feeling (musical style comparison aside) when the news came that Brian Eno was about to produce Talking Heads Remain in Light (Fear of music was already good but...) and some years later The Joshua Tree of U2. WO and BE are among of the true alchemists of our time. Genius is an often overused expression. But absolutely legit here. This pioneers influence in electronic music is everywhere now. Like the Gaga stems, I love the Ray of Light William Orbit instrumentals promo (expensive official collector CD, I know). And stripped Madonna lead vocals are not a real loss here imo Late to the party but I got a diamond heart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because they sent it to US radio stations long long after it peaked in radios and clubs. Wrong timing, wrong strategy from WB. Was pretty much a scandal back in the day because at the time this was her lowest charting entry. I Wantth your Love...I Wantth your Love. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZephyrInTheSky 1,235 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I love The Power of Goodbye, Frozen, Ray of Light, and Sky Fits Heaven is my favorite album track i think. There can be 99 bottoms in the area but all it takes is 1 top to believe in you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. True. Maybe because they are... old ? idk. It was 20, almost 30 years ago now. WO recent Strange Cargo 5 is such an amateurish effort. Not at all at his previous level. And today Eno does more lectures and reissues of his old catalog... They were brilliant in their time and their legacy live on and will survive.

It looks good, but I can only think of the lost potential (Björks 'All Is Full Of Love', The Aphex Twins 'Window Licker'). Apparently, when Madonna saw the rough edit of the video she called him in the middle of the night crying and screaming that he ruined her career Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy McSass 814 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I love this album. I remember being young and afraid to ask my parents to buy it for me because Madonna was so controversial. I’ll keep looking for Wonderland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"When the lemon is squeezed the skin should be discarded" (african proverb) Because she was too busy with several other projects to commit to being in the studio as much as he wanted. He spoke about how he felt they could have done something like ROL because he felt vocally she was at her best. She recorded "Falling Free" while having a cold but she constantly was focused on W.E., the Superbowl and other projects that everything was rushed. The vocals are horrible in songs like Love Spent being too overly processed that he released his own mixes he wishes the original tracks would have been. He didn't trash her per say but wished she had given more time to perfecting the record instead of giving the bare minimum and it's a shame fans trash him when he did his best while she juggled too many things at once and it shows. MDNA feels like a rush job of an album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
