I was literally listening to this mix the other day and thought it should be the next promo for Finally Enough Love. fantastic mix
I have never seen this video before, loving all the extra footage. RE True Blue, it really is pop perfection, and I quite like Jimmy Jimmy and Love Makes the World Go Round too.
There’s a news press release for the Ray Of Light remix/video: https://www.madonna.com/news/title/remastered-ray-of-light-audio-and-video-remix-available-today This part made me wet: These new collections will mark the first album releases to be part of the newly announced partnership between Madonna and Warner Music Group, which will feature an extensive series of catalog releases across her groundbreaking career.
Listening to Ray of Light and all the accompanying remixes was a truly mind expanding experience, as a teenager who primarily listened to divas (Mariah, Janet, Whitney, even Madonna's earlier work) I had never listened to something as creative and exciting as that before in my life. She really brought electronica to small town gays like me. I never even knew music could do... that.
Very that, but Sky Fits Heaven and Skin for me - like you say, genuinely mind-expanding and opened up a new world of sounds for me as a kid.
The way this remix slapped on the drive to work this morning yas. In general, her 90's and early 2000's remixes were fucking incredible, so I'm more than happy about this compilation.
This partnership really is off to a great start, no? Pretty exciting how involved she is in the curation process (and that the new Frozen Remixes aren’t part of this.) Also the timing aspect is pretty perfect - as an accompanying piece, while she’s in full biopic mode.
And while they're at it can they please get the American Life singles' remix packages on streaming?!? That era housed some of her very best remixes, and I unfortunately lost my entire collection of her singles and have no idea how I can even go about finding them online these days. Put them up, Mom!
Ray of Light might be the most massive pop song I've ever heard. Yet for all its complexity, it somehow sounds so effortless. It doesn't hurt that the song features her all time best vocals.
It is fantastic. When the single first came out the only remix I liked was the Orbit one but I've really come around to the Sasha remix
Stream the best version. https://youtube.com/watch?v=eQ5OtnBdcWw Spoiler I mean, of course not, but I had no idea this was a cover-ish till very recently.
Ray of Light has always been a song that has exhilarated me and made me feel alive and blissful. The Sasha remix is one I love to play before going out. It’s also just in general my favorite song of hers ever. And I just landed in Porto and am beginning my best “o mundo é selvagem” life.
I adore both Sasha's mixes of ROL, Twilo Mix being darker & broodier sibling to the Ultra Violet Mix. I wish her collaboration with him for Music album fell through
