William Orbit Appreciation Post: How Amazing He Remixed Madonna's Songs

I mean... Just listen to these:

 

 

 

Not to mention many of these and the ROL album itself.

One of my favourite remixers. I love how he actually transforms the songs, as opposed to (far too) many producers who simply slap the vocals over a DJ beat and leave it as that - or worse, use a fragment of vocals.

The man is a genius.

His work on MDNA is what saved the record. If only more time had been spent on the recording sessions to see what they would have churned out together. Falling Free is beautiful in every way. His remixes on the MDNA tracks are always quite good. I like the Some Girls mix over the album version.

Their journey together all began here. I think many have forgotten (or had no idea) that the two DID work together before Ray of Light:

that remix is epic - i wish we had a cd/wav digital version of that ? it starts to distort towards the end but nevertheless a great remix - the best remix since stuart prices jump extended album version - i love it when they remix the album versions with instrumentals )

This post jogged my memory of something I thought of back in 2012- I swear the "blood in the Dixie cup" line from the gang bang demo - that line originated in the music era as a lyrical rumor. I remember reading it on forums back then. Anyone? I would love to hear every single demo and recording between orbit and madonna... every little bit of it!

Stephen Bray, Shep Pettibone and Mirwais Ahmadzaï were a good producers too.

I love his 90s work and his songs on MDNA are good, the best on the album really.

Remember his rant about the MDNA stuff? He put in so much effort, and Madonna at that time was too busy doing other things, that the album wasn't a priority. In his opinion, it suffered and I don't think his considers his contribution to be his best work. He even went so far as saying that some of the better cuts, ended up with other artists.
