Listen to Madonna's Remixed & Revisited on VH1.com

http://www.vh1.com/artist...lbum.jhtml

I like it! It's nice to have some remixes with full vocals. I'm sick of 10 minute dubs with the same 2 lines repeated over and over again. Many of these serve as alternate versions of the originals. "Nothing Fails" is surprisingly good. I didn't think there was anything they could do with that song, but it turned out nicely. "Love Profusion" rocks and will make a great single in this incarnation. Can't wait for the video. "Into the Hollywood Groove" is seemless and an extended version of what you hear in the GAP ads. "Your Honesty" is a so-so outtake from the Bedtime Stories era. Nothing to write home about. But overall, the EP is pretty good. Check it out. biggrin

Yeah, I did like that "Love Profusion" remix. I'd say it's better than the original. I didn't care for the rest of the remixes.

As for "Your Honesty", it is definitely from the Bedtime Stories era, which easily makes it my favorite track on this ep. But it also begs the question, just why is it on here?

Yeah, it doesn't belong there. And it's kinda weak.

With the countless American Life and Music outtakes, it's puzzling why she included this one.

She should've saved it for the box set.

There's a certain element of "Return of the BumpSquad"
in there. That "slamming on the guitar breaks" kind of
sound, I don't know what it's called actually.

lol
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

"Your Honesty" sounds like it comes from late 1993. Like one of those Bedtime Stories tracks/outtakes she worked on with Shep but reworked with Dallas.


The breathy/husky sing-speak parts, and the beats sound like an intermediate step between the Erotica and Bedtime Stories periods.

I agree,these remixes are GREAT! Many times,I am really disappointed with Madonna's remixes because,like Tron pointed out,they basically consist of 10-minute dub versions with the same two lines repeated over and over.But these new remixes are hot!

I'm excited and hopeful to hear the new single too now.
