Marc Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I was going to post this in the 90's Miami Vice thread but it came out in 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytona74 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 The story goes that Madonna is a big fan of the Pet Shop Boys, and during the recording of the album "Confessions On A Dancefloor", she said she wanted to do a track that would sound like the Pet Shop Boys. Which resulted in "Jump", which sounds more than just vaguely like "West End Girls". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) Madonna dancing looks a bit ridiculous at her age and lets put some parkour in because that use to be hip. I remember watching a doc about the Pet Shop Boys and they spoke about the new york producer Bobby Orlando was a big influence on their sound and how think they chose to work with him. The other big producer of the eighties was Jellybean Benitez and Madonna had a relationship with him. She's always hired the top talent. In the late nineties she had Sasha who was biggest DJ at the time and second only to Paul Oakenfold working as producer and keeping her fresh. This is one of my biggest guilty pleasures.

You have to hand it to her though... she was in great shape for a gal pushing 50 at the time... and continues to be in the present. It's safe to say that some of her multi million dollar fortune has been going into keeping her appearing improbably young for some time now Her genius, though, has been that she has kept reinventing herself for generation after generation of young people. Tracks like "Jump" were aimed at the youth/young adult market of 2005, not at her middle-aged contemporaries who started buying her records in the early 80s. Staying relevant for the youth market is a trick that becomes harder to pull off with every year that you age, but that's where the real money always is. Making albums that won't chart, for a small but loyal fan base that has aged with you, doesn't earn you the big paychecks. So kudos to her for that. She actually also invited the Pet Shop Boys to do a remix of the track "Sorry" from the "Confessions..." album... with Neil Tennant providing backing vocals: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daytona74 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Pure Trevor Horn greatness I prefer this version over the album version, because it has a slightly edgier electric bass in places. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daytona74 Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) Two songs that sound almost exactly the same but couldn't be further apart...

Daytona74 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 One of the more offbeat tracks on the "Stella" album, which also contained "Desire" from MV season three. I think this was done entirely on the Fairlight CMI... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daytona74 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Just noticed that the drum pattern on the score from Whatever Works sounds a lot like it was influenced by the opening guitar hook and rhythmic elements from Voodoo Child... does anybody else hear it? Isn't Jan Hammer a declared big fan of Jimi Hendrix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
