that had that obvious logo all thru them

speaking of the Sticky & Sweet tour…

i was able to get my hands on the the full audio tracks
of the Sticky & Sweet tour

i heard 17 of the 24 tracks

i must say, they sound pretty DAMN GOOD!
(well, some treatments of songs are done better than others)

but still great none-the-less

for me, the stand out tracks for the Sticky & Sweet tour are:

Vogue – heavily mashed up with 4 Minutes, really funky,
a fresh and equally funky take on a classic, REALLY well done!

Music – it’s the Fedde Le Grand edit of the song, with a sample
of InDeep’s classic ” Last Night A DJ Saved My Life ” opening the
song, it almost sounds like M’s voice singing it, but it’s not. this track is also really well done!

Boerderline – a totally rocked out version of this sweet classic
from M, i can’t wait to see M strum the guitar on this one, since
the electric guitar sound pretty much dominates this treatment
of this vintage pop hit from M!

Into The Groove – totally mashed up with the Cassius’ hit from a
few 2 years back called ” Toop Toop “, and a quick vocal sample from Missy Elliot’s ” Work It “. this mash up works REALLY well, the up-tempo beat of Toop Toop lends itself PERFECTLY to M’s lyirics and pacing of Into The Groove, with a brief conga style breakdown in the middle of the song that all too quickly samples the song
” Jump ” from M’s Confessions album…DAMN COOL!

Like A Prayer – personally, i have never really loved
this song, but the Sticky & Sweet mix of this rack is FANTASTIC!,
the song starts with some male vocalist singing the lyrics
“and it feels like home ” done in a way that makes them sound
like the singers from the group Tears For Fears are singing the vocal loop, but it’s not. this song is heavily mashed up with an
older dance track by Felix called ” Don’t You Want Me “, the sound
is unmistakable, really sounds great, and is really well produced,
completely up-tempo with that same male vocal loop thru-out from start to finish…GREAT!

You Must Love Me – this song was a more subtle take on the
original, i was hoping M would belt out the second part of the
song much like M did at the 1997 Academy Awards performance,
but instead, this version is a gentle plea rather than a bold
declaration of the title of the song, really timid, sincere,
and really sweet

Give It 2 Me – this version is a little over 8 minutes long,
very broad, very up-tempo, and ” rave-like “, with a second breakdown at the 6 minute point, ,most likely so M can catch
her breath while M is performing this live, since M then sings
the chorus in a more focused way after this 2nd breakdown ends,
M repeats the chorus about 9 times with quick vocal samples
flying all around in the back round, i can’t wait to see M perform
this one live too!

i was not able to get a hold of 4 Minutes, Candy Shop, Heartbeat,
or Express Yourself, or the video interludes of Die Another Day,
Get Stupid, and Rain, so i don’t know what those treatments sound like, but i hope i will get my hands on those as well

time will tell…
