Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

never liked blue gangsta but I LOVEEEEE STTR too bad Timbo feels he needed to play around with MJ songs ruin it make it sound as 'unmj' and as poor as it can be in order to complete his own legacy.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

^^ Your opinion is noted but being no one has heard the original demo of STTR, we cant really say is is far from MJs vision for the song. MJ isn't here to give his approval and they are not going to release an out dated demo unless they place it on a Bonus demo CD. Plus a Timbo production would sound like a Timbo production even if MJ was here. he would submit his ideas but it would be his style. IMO We cant really say MJ would be against what Timbo produced on STTR . Because we dont know what he would be open to in this day and age.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I sure do hope Michael & Brad work on this new album, they are the one's who found and i presume gave the hard drives to the estate? Brad Buxer is a fantastic producer.. & Michael Prince works fantastically well, i hope this is all just a big teaser because them not working on these song's after being promised is despicable.. hoping for an announcement soon.

Michael Prince reply me on twitter !

Michael Prince ?@MichaelPrinceMD 13 min.

@Sephiroth821 Neither Brad or me have been contacted by the Estate or Sony (as promised) to begin work on the new CD-smells a bit fishy !

https://twitter.com/MichaelPrinceMD/status/447891154277650432

So what were they doing with the hard drives - "finding gems"?


Secret Project regarding new Michael Jackson song's from Michael Durham Prince ''Soon.''

''So Many Hard drives spinning and humming, new tracks from MJ soon will be coming.''

@MichaelPrinceMD: ''Brad Buxer & Michael Prince Hangin' @The Kore - Working on The Secret Project!! Be Patient''

I thought the 'secret' project with Brad may have been this tribute show they did but the hard drives & "What More Can I Give" don't fit.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I'm confused. After all he tweeted last year, suddenly he's "not contacted" by the Estate/Sony.

Also, there should be some news from Sony/Estate regarding the new album, or even "Slave To The Rhythm". In the statement they said "more news coming in the next weeks". A whole month passed.

Do we really have to wait until April the 1st, to get Xperia Z2 released to get a piece of news? No hype, no nothing?
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

It was remastered, though. Not the way he left the tape. :tease:

My point was, that even though some things is out dated, they still put them out for a release.
What's the true definition of a "remaster" again? :innocent:
This?

^Now that's how it's done. It's all about going back to the original source.

All that was done to pride and prejudice was added contrast, brightness & saturation to give life back to the image. Plus, it's from 35mm negatives so this is a pointless comparison anyway. here's my remaster of Wembley 1988.


Edit: There are shows on film from the BAD World Tour. But wembley isn't one of them, It was originally transferred onto Beta Tape which i imagine are somewhere.

Let me try to rephrase it. You cannot remaster something, unless you got the original source, of which the recording was recorded on. Now what you can do, is try to enhance old footage the best you can.
If the source of a recording is VHS, then there's a limit of things you can actually do i.e quality wise. Remember everytime you render out footage, it will lose quality.
You can go ahead and give it a color-correction, adjust the levels, noise reduction & and even sharpening your footage. BUT to do a proper remaster of something, it will require you to be in possession of the original source, otherwise it never be a remaster.

It's like remastering music. Unless you got the original sound recording, there's simply no way to do a proper remaster.

You see. No matter how much time spent on VHS or DVD's for that matter. The quality will never look as good, as the original recording.
It will only just be your own enhancement, from which ever source you got to work with.:doh:


I was just messin' around. :p

Please stay in topic.

This is discussion about new album, not video remastering :)

They didn't contact them because they don't need them. Just like they don't need Dr. Freeze. Their songs will be on the album, but they won't. And if they release the second disc with demos and original versions, they don't need them for that either.

But still, very sad that they didn't contact them if they promised. They would be perfect sound engineers for this release.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I believe they are just downhyping it. Getting our hopes down.

Brad Buxer is not a producer! He is keyboardist, composer & engineer. He did not produce 1 song for Michael Jackson. He was given co-production credits on Best of Joy. Same goes for Michael Durham Prince.

It's very sad that they weren't contacted if they were promised but the fact is that they are not necessary for this project. Just like they didn't work on MICHAEL album or just like Bruce Swedein wasn't even contacted for the first album and probably for this one too. I think that is wrong but it is the reality. Don't expect perfect release from the Estate. They are incapable of doing that. Let's just be happy that this time they won't include impersonator songs.

The same thing is with producers. They don't want original producers to work on the songs (Dr. Freeze...). They want current producers. And if they can replace the original producer they can replace the original sound engineers too. That's why we'll probably get second disc with original mixes so that everyone can be happy, both fans and The Estate.

I got the impression they were responsible compiling/editing/... the original tracks. I guess I was wrong, shame :-/
Still, they were working on the "secret project" for more than a year. What did they do, just dig up files for new producers like Timbaland to work on them?

Maybe Michael Prince' daughter could drop us an additional hint, please :), She was/is a member here.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

^ I would tell you what they have been doing but I frankly can't tell you, nor would I be at liberty to say even if I knew.

That makes little sense. The leaked version of Slave to the Rhythm, I can promise you, is as far from Michael's original vision as you can get. I have not heard the original, but Tricky Stewart himself said he intended to destroy the original production.

To that end, Timbaland's version is so much better. It sounds more Michael. It still doesn't sound 100% like MJ, but it's closer.

Most confusing thing I've ever read in a while. XD

I'm a 200lb muscular male, I think that may be a little different description that Michael Princes daughter.. Sorry if I confused you! I wanted to sound confusing but not that..

Say what ?
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

^ It's just a fancy way of saying I know nothing.. and If I were one that was lucky enough to know something I wouldn't be able to talk about it..

I was jokingly talking!

So to unconfused people I am not related to Michael Prince, and I am not his daughter.. I'm not even female!! And I don't know anything anyone else doesn't know here. Well not regarding the new MJ album!!

Lmao. Your first post was hilarious.

On another note, hopefully we'll all find out soon enough
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I'm beginning to think we shall here something wether its regarding the Sony phone or album details, or even both at the beginning of April, which is only next week!
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

To be honest im just sick to death of waiting. Its actually getting to the point that my excitement is dieing down just because im so fed up with waiting. By the looks of things it wont be out for awhile, most likely end of year IMO.

lol any news on fools' day would be very reliable
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

At this point I'm not expecting to much notice on a release, if any. It will just drop and then the fun will begin. It's hard to stop torturing ourself over waiting. Tiny bits of information and stuff is part of the game. I'm pretty sure when it drops the whole world will know this time. I'm thinking this will be the biggest release we will ever get. Album, possible concert movie and who knows what else... It will be a good time to be a fan.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Even if we only get the timbaland version of slave, I am extremely happy. That release is around the corner. I am excited!
