The Bobby Orlando/Giorgio Moroder sound (the galloping synth) is hot again. I predicted it here about a year and a half ago. These are the giants upon whom's shoulders the current crop of electroclash and electrohouse producers are standing on. The 80s revival of the last few years is built on this aesthete....ie: loop an Italo Disco or Synthpop cut, call it a track. We are currently tracking them all down.
Anyways, leading the charge is Stuart Price, aka Thin White Duke aka Jacques Lu Cont, aka Les Rythmes Digitales.
Madonna hired him because the sound is trendy and cool, and she is good at identifying trendy and cool things in the club circuit and exploiting them. Like all true businessmen, she adheres to nothing but the almighty dollar. She has no musical morality whatsoever. If transylavanian accordian polka music was hot, she'd make an album of that too.
When this sound is no longer cool in the next couple of years, she will dump it like a hot potato and move onto the next thing. This is what Madonna does. This is what she's always done. This is what she will continue to do.
That doesn't mean the music is bad. Far from it, I quite like the song. But I never foster any delusions about what it is, and what it's meant to do.
Tribute to disco? Please. Do you have any fucking idea how many house tracks sample disco cuts? You think Madonna thought this up all by herself? Or is she simply following the herd--and the money--in the post Mylo/Eric Prydz club scene? |
absolutely right on dude. She's claiming it to be a tribute to disco but are we that stupid to believe this??? Listening to hung up tells me everything i need to know about the whole cd. It's all money and it's pretty clear she's ripping stuff off from the current scene. When it's all said and done, she'll move on to the next trendy thing indeed. Thats' madonna plain and simple.
