24 tracks

Seriously, Janet, trim it down a bit.

On the plus side, there are apparently NO INTERLUDES!!!!! (but I'm guessing that some of those 24 tracks are actually interludes).

Threads like these make me so happy to be on the org - thanks for posting.

But no way are those 24 songs all complete songs, Voices Carry. You know how she names her interludes.

OOOOOoooooh. I like the title "Strawberry Bounce" -- that sounds so sexy.

Also, I like "R&B Junkie" I wonder what that's about. Looks like Janet and JD in love on this one.

::slammin' my head into the keyboard:: MARCH 30! LMAO!

you know half them tracks *are* interludes...

i used to be the biggest janet fan....first concert i ever went to was 1814..but....but..STOP WITH THE DAMN INTERLUDES!!!!! DAMN IT!!

BlaqueKnight said:

of course she gonna have the interludes, she had them in there since Rhythm Nation. Usually they are pointless, but sometimes it is funny, and i hope she keeps on doing it. "The Islands" sounds nice, and "Sexhibition"

paisleypark4 said:

Interludes are Janet's trademark. It's her "thing." I like it, and it gives the albums a cinematic feel like I'm "listening" to a movie. It's signature Janet. My favorite Interludes were from TVR and RN1814.

INTERLUDE: LIVIN'...IN COMPLETE DARKNESS

In complete darkness we are all the same. It is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you.

INTERLUDE: T.V. (I love that one.)

INTERLUDE: RACE

::gunshot:: We are in a race between education and catastrophe.

The knowledge.

Maybe she could release 2 editions of Damita Jo, a "regularly spaced interlude" edition and a "interludes tacked on at the end" edition for people who don't like to have to skip through these timewasters each time they listen to an album.

Where did this tracklisting come from? Which songs did Jam & Lewis produce?

Cannot wait! March 30th cannot come soon enough. All those tracks sound promising but I'm sure that are ton of them are those famous Janet interludes. I hope that "Strawberry Bounce" and "The Island Life" are both tracks. THey sound very promising!

One of those is the Japanese bonus track, then.

VoicesCarry said:

Actually, janet-xone.com has the last two listed as Japanese bonus tracks.

I can't wait for March 30th, although "Moist" is on my list of "words I hate". *shudder*

I ain't got no problem with 24 tracks,,,,I don't like cheap 10 tracks anyway!

VoicesCarry said:

For the most part, I don't mind the interludes, although I felt a lot of them messed up the flow of The Velvet Rope. I certainly don't feel that they take away from the music though. And there a lot of interludes that I love. At least Janet always makes them separate tracks, instead of adding them to the begginings of songs like a lot of artists do.

JANFAN4L said:

the interludes in 1814 were the only ones that actually aided the flow of an album..and if memory serves, there were far fewier of them than now...

"all for you"s flow was killed by the interludes.....i dont even bother listening to the album (didnt help that a good 1/3rd of the album was filler crap)....

sosgemini said:

I know. Though I enjoy it and will always love Janet, All For You, in general, was a let-down. The interudes were ridiculous and served no purpose. As for the songs, though I love "Trust a Try", it does not hold a candle "If", which I find to be similar in terms of the music. On a positive note, there are some great songs on AFY, including "All For You", "Feels So Right", and "Son of a Gun".

theVelvetRoper said:

when i first heard "son of a gun" i thought, GROUNDBREAKING!! then she had to let missy elliot ruin the single version..

what is wrong janet? even when you do something right, you screw it up!! lol....


for a return to form with damita jo...

but then that title is a but ..holding lil faith here...

sosgemini said:

I know, the Missy version is just horrid, and the P. Diddy one is even worse.

I'm keeping the faith for Damita Jo, though.

AFY had its moments. When I first heard the album it sounded so euphoric. Still does, but I don't return to it as much as I do TVR or her earlier projects. When you come off an introspective, critically acclaimed record like TVR, you're bound to come in with high expectations. AFY depended a little too much on "proven formulas" and didn't really break much artistic ground like her previous LPs. It seemed like an album that was vying for TRL approval. The interludes were semi-decent (nowhere near as memorable as RN1814's, TVR or even janet.'s, for that matter). I liked "2wayforyou" and "Clouds." My favorite songs on the album are the title track, You Ain't Right, When We Oooo, China Love, Love Scene (Oooh Baby), Trust A Try (it's a shame this wasn't made into a music video), Would You Mind, Truth, Doesn't Really Matter (although I think the Rockwilder-produced album version sucks and the original Nutty Professor 2 SDTK version should've been included on the album), and Someone To Call My Lover.

JANFAN4L said:

I agree completely about "Doesn't Really Matter", and was going to say the same thing. I never listen to the All For You version because the one from NP2 is so much better.

Also, I prefer the video edit of "All For You" that's on the single to the album version.

I liked the 1814 and janet. interludes, but as much as Velvet Rope rules, the interludes weren't my favorite, even the fun ones ie. "Bumpy Ride". And I usually program the interludes out of All For You if I can.

It's like she has to track everything.

Remastered Control tracklist won't have nine tracks:

1. Intro: My Control (speech)
2. Control
3. Interlude: Gimme A Beat
4. Nasty
5. Interlude: What's Up Girl...
6. What Have You Done For Me Lately
[...]

nahmean?

CinisterCee said:

That would be amusing.

But speaking of a remastered Control, WHEN?????

Damn it, all these Deluxe Editions and they can't even release defining albums from their catalogue (Melissa Ethridge's debut? WTF?).

Bonus Disc needs to be packed with 12'' mixes, dub mixes, and acapellas.

VoicesCarry said:

What I really want on CD is the acapella for "Nasty". I know there are some import Control remix albums, and I would hate to see a deluxe version repeat some of those songs. I want outtakes or never-before-released-on-CD-until-now kinda tracks.

Found this Control - Remastered??? thread (from September)

Hey everybody,

I updated the "official tracklisting" post with more information. Enjoy! More developments as they surface.
