Ray of Light (Audio CD)

Customer Review

This 1998's Madonna album was produced mainly by herself and William Orbit. They have probably complemented each other perfectly, because it was a really great work. If only one of the two not been there, it would not have given such a good result. Here Madonna used very often modern, electronic sounds, although these are not entirely new, so they act still fresh. Like most Madonna albums also offers this a nice mix of dance music, ballads and great Poptiteln.

Drowned World / Substitute for Love - Entry is quiet. Madonna sings very strong with a lot of feeling, especially in the middle part. The electronic sound seems dreamy little spherical, the basses are extremely protracted, what fits beautifully. Very beautiful melody, strong song.

Swim - Cooler With tempo song. Through the electric guitar sound in the background will look "Swim" somewhat rocky. Otherwise, an electronic sound determines the title. Here also comes back nice sums Madonna used.

Ray of light - initiated by a quiet guitar solo of the title comes from dannach fully. The sound is running at the highest speed, with the bass seem somewhat withdrawn. In the verses Madonna sings more normal pace and so calms the hectic acting (in a good way) sound. But then the chorus: Madonna sings completely uninhibited and has fun doing it audible. After a short breather in the intermediate part of it starts by an absolute pleasure dance. One of their best songs ever, timeless and modern song.

Candy perfume girl - Has also rather quiet. Where the bass here appears quite intrusive. The chorus is then very reduced sound and builds the suspense scratch. In the intermediate part's then violent guitar sounds so. Madonna sings well accustomed. The title is an average pop song.

Skin - In addition to the title track, this is the highlight of the album. After a quiet vocal introduction the song gets a pretty fierce dance sound with monotonous pounding bass. Madonna sings the melody calm and composed. With the right background music, this could have been a ballad. But it's a dance song, and what kind of. The Trancy Dance Sound and the serenity in Madonna's voice match perfectly. In addition, the melody remains immediately hang in the head and goes out of there never again. Class.

Nothing really matters - is an ingenious Poptitel. Until the first chorus of the sound is kept fairly minimal, Madonna sings quietly and almost a little in the background. Then a bass and a nice dance sound and the title turns into a good danceable Popperle. What I, however, also is here still remember the abysmal video for the song.

Sky fits heaven - Absolute Dance Kracher Album. An extremely fast sound that sounds very electronic. The bass is also relatively strong, not as monotonous as in "Skin" but ever since. Very nice sound that interspersed the chorus piano sounds. Madonna sings very clearly. Beautiful melody, cool song.

Shanti / Ashtangi - music as in an Indian Herscherpalast, plus a song from not understand Indian words. Now and then a pretty intense dance beat is sprinkled, where you can not decide on a certain tempo. The song does have something nice, even if it takes some time to realize it.

Frozen - Something dark and spherical ballad comes. The classical string sounds to rejoin the electronic sound elements. The melody is catchy and beautiful. Especially nice the tension building between verses and chorus by drum sounds. Perfect choice for a first single and not in vain is a huge hit.

The power of good-bye - sounds like a fantastic dream world initiate this ballad. Madonna mourns the fact after a lost love, what you can hear in her voice. Here especially the chorus is super successful.

To Have and Not to Hold - The whole song is supported by a sound sample, which makes it sound very nice. Madonna sings quietly and sensitively. Extremely good sounds Madonna's own buzz in the background vocals for the chorus. This ballad charmed at first listen.

Little Star - A quieter faster Brack beat in the background will be drowned out by a slow electronic sound in the foreground, to Madonna sings quietly what the song can almost act like a ballad. It took long before I could abgewinnen this song something good. Here the B-site "Has to be" would have been better placed than this average Poptitel.

Mer girl - A dark, minimal sound with some kind of telephone dial tone, to sing Madonna extremely quiet. There is really no chorus, which is indicated only by piano sounds in the background. For sound mix gradually diverse elements, one could say the sound increases continuously. The title is very relaxed and can finish the album perfectly.

To date, "Ray of Light" is her most successful album in Germany. With this album she has perhaps hammer out their biggest musical change and sounds nevertheless unmistakable. Through this music has gained many new fans and old found the majority of this album also great. Does she like as a person to be like she wants (it's actually nothing to us), musically, it is unique and awesome.
