Xscape General Discussion

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

@ Zakk you realize that i was joking around this morning about opinions and stuff ???? i just saw some posts callin' for peace while there was no war oO

Ha ha, Darkmed, I almost commented that you might be being sarcastic in those posts. Glad they were. All good.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I know, but it was another version. I was thinking about the studio version.

Well now we know he was busy working on DYKWCA, STTR, and etc during the 2300 Jacksons St album :D

Anyone else notice Timbaland saying A SLAVE...TO THE RHYTHM during the chorus of STTR ?

'shes a slave to the rhythm, a slave.. to the rhythm'

I have to repeat it because of it's awesomeness: Sooo glad the producers made MJs voice so prominent in all those songs. Just listen to his "Escape is what I need from these electric eyes" in Xscape for example!
To be honest, I'd like Rodney to remix some of the Invincible songs using that style. Imagine Threatened with acapella parts (and maybe that fat beat used in TII)! I always felt Michaels voice was rather buried under the production on that and some other tracks.

i had xscape (the song) on repeat the whole day, cause Mike sounds so so great on it.

also the song makes me a bit sad, when he sings ' When I go, this problem world won't bother me no more', that part is so intense in the new mix
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Listening to the new version of Chicago, highlights Michael's voice a lot more than on the original! the instrumental compliments the vocal performance. Listened to the album about 7 times in 2 days, it's that good! i love all the tracks equally. Beautiful, especially loving you :heart:

According to Jermaine, Michael was half considering going on a reunion tour with his brothers after This Is It because his mother wanted to see her sons reunite again. Not sure how much truth is in that statement, but I doubt Michael would have done it.

Considering that he should make 50 shows and if he felt good probably a world tour after that for 2 years.
I think he needed to rest years from touring after that.
He said in the announcement for This is it, it was the final curtain call and told Taj at the wedding day anniversary that they would do movies after this is it.
Maybe his brothers could have been involved in one movie as extras.

It´s a pity he never got to do a film, a long one.

Yes, i heard it, didn't know it was Timbaland though.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

There is the John McClain solo version, the original demo, and the Timbaland ft. J.T. Is that right?

That's possible. I don't know 'cuz the letters in the booklet are too small and I think I will need glasses to read the text.

All other albums are in the shadow of the real thing 7EVEN. I have it on vinyl with a bonus track: Hydraulix. It's a killer!

I will listen to only a couple of songs with low volume, because it's the middle of the night. But Tuesday night will listen to it as it was meant to be heard!!

I'll let you guys know how it sounds in high resolution!
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Hey, what's actually up with these Xscape-audio commentaries? When will they be released?

WHAT NO WAY!!! I heard when you listen to Hydraulix while you're on a couch, the couch itself actually bounce..is that true??????????
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I heard the Limited Edition
of '7EVEN', will be called: '8EIGHT'
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Love Never Felt So Good has become one of my top rated tracks on Xscape, the demo + timbo's new mix provide a raw and disco feel... with Michael's vocals guiding you through a story on a love that never felt so good. :heart:

It's indeed true, but I didn't want to spoil the surprise.

I already have it. It's produced by Octavius Otto.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

The structure of this album has been crafted extremely well, the order of the tracks selected is perfected... each song withholding a very powerful story that portray the emotion you feel in Michael's incomparable voice.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Can you explain again what is needed to get this/play it back? Thanks

You'll need a very good DAC (digital to analog converter), full range speakers and a device which is capable to playback high resolution audio files.

I have a receiver (Onkyo TX-609) connected to bi-amp full range 'Mission' speakers (the highs and the lows are separately amplified) with an integrated DAC (Burr Brown). The device I use to playback hi-res files is a Popcorn Hour media player.
