Music Box 30th Anniversary Reissue

DELUXE 30TH ANNIVERSARY RE-ISSUE ALERT

 

[dUb]

Better cover?

 

[dUb]

There's AT LEAST ONE NEW SONG

 

[VoR]

Surely this warrants a new thread?

 

[Pipo]

Dub might disagree but I'd rather rare remixes instead of more live versions

 

[dUb]

Surely this warrants a new thread?

SPLIT AWAY BABE!

 

[dUb]

Dub might disagree but I'd rather rare remixes instead of more live versions

Neither excites me massively! But given the choice, I'd go for a remix yeah

 

[Funky]

Given how AMAZING the previously unreleased tracks on Rarities from this era were, I would welcome another!

This was the first ever CD I owned. I feel compelled to make it my first vinyl (as an adult)

 

[dUb]

What’s THIS THEN

 

[Funky]

Sounds like a dance remix of an existing song... I kinda recognise it as an ad lib... I think

 

[KindaCool]

I wish she wouldn't drip-feed us rarities

 

[Suedehead]

Where can we bu

Better cover?

Dunno I think I prefer the original.

 

[dUb]

Sounds like a dance remix of an existing song... I kinda recognise it as an ad lib... I think

It does sound familiar! But pretty sure it's something new

 

[Christian]

Sounds like Emotions

 

[dUb]

Well I guess it must be WORKIN’ HARD

 

[dUb]

Two months ago!! @funky get in here

 

[Funky]

Oh yes please

It’s not new though is it? That must be a vault track. No way she could lay down Gospel vocals these days surely.

 

[dUb]

Yeah no it’ll be from the early 90s

 

[KindaCool]

Ugh that's amazing. I love how she securely engrained house into her catalog from the very beginning. A diva through and through.

 

[Christian]

That sounds quite excellent!

 

[Pipo]

What's the backstory for Workin' Hard dub?

 

[dUb]

What's the backstory for Workin' Hard dub?

No idea! It’s just come out of nowhere

 

[Pipo]

ok so, According to somebody on PJ, the three extra tracks are official leftovers from the MB album, not demos though, they just weren't "strong" enough to make it onto the final tracklist except for Everything Fades Away which is now finally part of the album officially.

 

[dUb]

Just had a listen to them via VPN

My Prayer is a gorgeous doo-wop kinda thing with obviously STUNNING vocals

Workin' Hard is a new jack/jill swing moment with a pretty forgettable/nothingy melody. The remix improves it greatly.

 

[dUb]

 

[Pipo]

YASSSSSS MAMA

Unpopular opinion but, I always felt MB was a bit too DRIPPY, somewhat BLEAK And ballad heavy (although some of them are amazing) I'm glad that it's going to be proven that wasn't Mariah's intention at all and it was probably evil Tommy who wanted to keep everything remotely upbeat out of this.

 

[Pipo]

I bet Everything Fades Away being in the VAULT for so long was ALSO HIS evil idea!

 

[Pipo]

I've had enough of Taylor, I think I'm headed into a MARIAH ERA!

Spoiler

 

[dUb]

13/10

 

[KindaCool]

The VOCALS

 

[Funky]

Don’t really care for My Prayer but I love Workin Hard - both versions

 

[Suedehead]

Workin Hard OMG!

 

[dUb]

Something for everyone!

 

[KindaCool]

How the FUCK did Workin Hard not make the final cut?! Maybe it's my future bias but WHAT A TRACK

 

[KindaCool]

Also, y'all can stay mad but I love the 2009 Hero.

 

[Pipo]

Also, y'all can stay mad but I love the 2009 Hero.

is this "y'all" here in the room with us or just in your mind hun

 

[KindaCool]

is this "y'all" here in the room with us or just in your mind hun

I just KNOW someone will hate on it.

 

[dUb]

J*o catching strays

 

[straightorbroken]

Workin' Hard handing out so many p45s
