dua lipa is fine. I'm a little suspicious of how pop stars are rewarded commercially and sometimes critically for having very manicured, "always on", don't-rock-the-boat personas (the recent twitter thing an amusing aberration) but she's got a bunch of jams it would be silly to deny

Veronica, I kind of admired how strange it was fwiw.

I'm confused by that tweet up there. I worked out belatedly that The Black Madonna has changed her name to The Blessed Madonna. Featuring actual pop star Madonna ( I misunderstood and thought she was being referred to as Blessed) also featuring Missy E but there other person in that pictorial collage is not Missy.

oh wow, that sounds potentially glorious or a total clusterfuck (or, potentially, both)
sadly neither tbh

the album version has an unhinged giddiness that this mostly wipes out, and i'm sad they cut the "but whatever let's get lost on Mars" bit. missy's verse is fun though.

a lot of those “guests” are just samples. E.g. Neneh doesn’t appear but the remix includes a sample of Buffalo Stance.
Still, this looks fun
― monotony, Thursday, 20 August 2020 21:27 (three years ago) link
this sounds wild! Gobsmacked at Moodyman and Mr. Fingers.
― Gerneten-flüken cake (jed_), Thursday, 20 August 2020 22:25 (three years ago) link
My elementary aged daughter loves a couple Dua Lipa songs, especially Break My Heart, and her crusty old dad loves Moodymann. I'm looking forward to this bizarrely.
― brotherlovesdub, Thursday, 20 August 2020 22:30 (three years ago) link
boo at that just being a cherry sample. ah well.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 20 August 2020 22:31 (three years ago) link
I'd have to worry about anyone who didn't love at least a coupla Dua Lipa tracks, bld. I hope it works out!
― Gerneten-flüken cake (jed_), Thursday, 20 August 2020 22:48 (three years ago) link
that's a cool way to highlight samples though xp

really all that's missing here is a remix ft koffee or sun-el to complete ilm bingo

Will definitely check this out because I’m a big fan of Future Nostalgia (album of the year so far), but that heavily-hyped “Levitating” remix with Madonna and Missy was absolute trash.

11. “Hallucinate” – Paul Woolford Extended RemixSample: Larry Heard Presents Mr. White – “The Sun Can’t Compare”
It might not be the BBC remix but holy shit

Oh good lord we don't deserve this.

gen hoshino sure is a weird pick for this
― ufo, Friday, 21 August 2020 10:23 (three years ago) link
My hot take here is that I would much rather hear peak Neneh Cherry or Missy or Stevie Nicks repurposed here than what they're doing now, especially in the hands of Larry Heard or Moodymann or even JLC (whose track will almost certainly be the laziest here).
― Matt DC, Friday, 21 August 2020 10:23 (three years ago) link
it's not on here but the tensnake remix of hallucinate was good too btw:

yes, that Tensnake is fun

The Mr. Fingers remix needs to be 20 times longer and also starting it off with "Hollaback Girl" should be illegal
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Friday, 28 August 2020 01:46 (three years ago) link
wait, this is DJ mix not tracks?
― Gerneten-flüken cake (jed_), Friday, 28 August 2020 01:50 (three years ago) link
yeah I hope there's a version that is unmixed and has extended version of the tracks
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Friday, 28 August 2020 01:53 (three years ago) link
what a fucking monumental let down!
― Gerneten-flüken cake (jed_), Friday, 28 August 2020 01:53 (three years ago) link
I usually don't mind Mark Ronson but his remix is just... awful
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Friday, 28 August 2020 01:55 (three years ago) link
Nobody's remixed anything. It's Just a B. Madonna mix of Dua tracks with Dua Lipa laid vox over other tracks by the people listed.
― Gerneten-flüken cake (jed_), Friday, 28 August 2020 01:59 (three years ago) link
I want my money back.
It's just a BM DJ mix with Dua Lipa vox laid over.

― stirmonster, Friday, 28 August 2020 02:23 (three years ago) link
i mean...it was never advertised as anything other than basically a blessed madonna x dua lipa DJ-kicks?
personally i think it's really fun! i was very underwhelmed by the madonna & missy remix, but it sounds a little less drab in context and there are many other entertaining moments. "boys will be boys" finally making sense as a samba workout! jayda-g doing "cool"! mr fingers elevating "hallucinate"!
not sure why it's being retconned into this era but i liked the new take on "kiss and make up" as well.
― monotony, Friday, 28 August 2020 03:00 (three years ago) link
i haven't heard it yet but I was under the impression that BM was playing curator for these remixes by other people. def changes things if it's a mix.
― Roz, Friday, 28 August 2020 06:37 (three years ago) link
it's both as far as I understand it?
The tracks have been remixed by the artists listed but it's been assembled as a mix?
― Number None, Friday, 28 August 2020 07:11 (three years ago) link
yes, that's correct (sorry if I implied otherwise). The Blessed Madonna has taken the various remixes and turned them into what's more or less a continuous ~50 min mix
― monotony, Friday, 28 August 2020 07:51 (three years ago) link
this thread has me doubting reality
― J0rdan S., Friday, 28 August 2020 07:52 (three years ago) link
anyway this is a much cooler idea than a normal remix album
xpost yep I'm listening now and that's what it is - sorry, was thrown off by jed's "nobody's remixed anything" post upthread.
I don't know about this... there are some good moments but the mix feels rushed, there's barely any time for the tracks to breathe. both the Mr. Fingers and Paul Woolford remixes need to be wayyyy longer than two minutes wtf.
Faves so far: BM's own remix of Love is Religion (is that a new track?) might be the best thing here, so joyful. also liked the Jayda G and "Boys will be Boys" remixes, and the Dimitri from Paris edit - is it time for the jamiroquai re-appraisal yet?
Worst: the Mark Ronson remix as mentioned above (Gwen Stefani doesn't have the chops to carry that huge "Physical" chorus at all, yikes) and the JLC remix which is just hilariously lazy.
― Roz, Friday, 28 August 2020 07:57 (three years ago) link
need the unmixed versions of these ... could barely make out the mr fingers track
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Friday, 28 August 2020 08:16 (three years ago) link
xp to Roz - the Paul Woolford remix is available as a full version (this came out around the time "Hallucinate" was released as a single): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VqeJGcW680

Kids all over twitter saying how awful this is. One 20-second snippet of the MAW one has them generally freaking out underneath 'it sounds like a load of random computer game noises!'.
There are some pretty ancient names involved, you'd think remix culture would've moved on a bit in the last three or four decades.
― piscesx, Friday, 28 August 2020 10:20 (three years ago) link
.. although by contrast someone on PJ claims 'the vibe makes me wanna pour a babycham and do a line off someone’s D' so, horses for courses.
― piscesx, Friday, 28 August 2020 10:35 (three years ago) link
I don’t blame the kids - given how rushed this feels, there’s hardly anything for them to latch on to and the lack of name recognition doesn’t help. Like aside from Missy and Madonna, they prob don’t know anyone else than maybe Yaeji and Mark Ronson (the latter’s is the one they all seem to like so go figure).
