In support of her album American Life and partly as a promotional tool for a US fashion chain Warner released 2003 EP Remixed & Revisited by Madonna, a half-hour compilation of newer and older titles of her career, all of them re-issued.
One of the seven songs was also previously never released: YOUR HONESTY is the piece, which is a soulful flavored leftover from the Bedtime Stories era 1994/95 and used in Madonna's concert documentary I AM GOING TO TELL YOU A SECRET into a scene for musical accompaniment is.
The compilation also a mash-up can be found namely INTO THE HOLLYWOOD GROOVE. It contains elements from the 80s Hit Into The Groove and the Single HOLLYWOOD, new eingesungene vocals by Madonna, rap parts of Missy Elliott and said means for a promotional clip.
The special bonus is but undoubtedly the track Like A Virgin / Hollywood Medley accommodated behind the legendary MTV live performance with Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott. The scandalous kisses between the singers stay here but from logically. ;-)
The remaining tracks EP offer alternative versions of selected titles of AMERICAN LIFE LP. The remixes can certainly be described as pop radio friendly and almost conservative in their style, but definitely. Some even suggest the original versions in my opinion many times. Representing be mentioned at this point the MOUNT SIMS OLD SCHOOL MIX of Nobody Knows Me, the electronic arrangement is addictive and tired legs kicking. Nevins mix of Nothing Fails similar succeeded and also danceable. Perhaps the success would have been 2003, more on Madonna's side when they had entered as final versions on AMERICAN LIFE ...
Furthermore, experience LOVE PROFUSION and American Life on the Remixed & Revisited CD a type change: Their remixes are in fact designed quite rocky and might well arouse the curiosity of strict non-Madonna-listeners when they in the first place on this unknown EP of pop queen involved.
--- For the presentation on CD ---
There is much in this point not to lead. The disc has a hinged cover depositors with corresponding production notes. A total of three double pages, that's it for now.
--- Conclusion ---
The concept, in which one simultaneously draws old-school classics and more recent slow sellers from Madonna a little TLC, probably anything but this effect. In the same scam already appeared in 1987 Tanzplatte YOU CAN DANCE, but unlike Remixed & Revisited ensured brisk sales.
Nevertheless, you have to present the EP admit his highlights, although probably only get this pop queen diehard fans heard. All other namely in view the track list of unsuccessful and tried and true material rather yawn ...
