The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

I think he’s talking about the order of the tracklist, not which songs were chosen.

I think it’s pretty well-organized, to be honest. Nice mix of dance tracks and ballads, arranged well to avoid overloading one end with a certain type/sound of song, and an excellent closer. Not perfect, but I think it’s far more consistent and evenly spread than XSCAPE.

Would anyone even be interested in his early demos from Off the Wall and Thriller era?

Any MJ is worth hearing, but personally, I have zero interest in anything before 1981–and even then, I would rather not hear more Thriller material because that era is very over-emphasized. Anything from 1984-5 onward is up my alley!

Even tho the recording quality from the 70s and 80s ain't that good?

Compare these two:

Vocaroo | Online voice recorder

Vocaroo is a quick and easy way to share voice messages over the interwebs.
voca.ro voca.ro

Most of the stuff from the 70s would sound like the first.

Lol. I grew up on the warbled multi-generation VHS tapes and was still mesmerised.

That first clip is nothing.

I'd wanna listen to everything that's in the vault. Hell if it's MJ coughing into the mic for 6 minutes with the sound of a drum machine I'd still wanna listen to it.

I'm not really interested in songs pre-80's but I wouldn't mind hearing at least one outtake from the OTW era since we have no songs from that period. It's also the era with the least amount of material (there's hardly even a handful of outtakes compared to the dozens and dozens of songs from other albums) so any song from that era would be a true rarity.

That still sounds better than the average seminar recording.

The first 2/3rds or so consist of material MJ was ostensibly working on at the time of his passing, so they definitely had a design and a through line in place. It’s the last three songs, none of which MJ had looked at in decades (so far as we know), that completely break from that structure.

That is true, but the Casios throughout obviously render it neutered.

But even besides that, it misses the mark. Starting off with a basic ballad is a terrible choice, and almost completely anti MJ. That's a huge failure right there. Only the solo Motown stuff does that and it's more excusable then.

Ending on a downer note was also definitely a choice. Not bad persay. But Best Of Joy could've also been a great closer or track before the closer.

I think Xscapes tracklisting is pretty underrated also. Makes a disparate collection feel pretty seamless to me.

Can you guide me to it? Can't seem to find it via the search.

Thanks! For the time being, heres the full version: https://www.swisstransfer.com/d/6847fdea-af76-4030-a923-a93b9c62ebc9

Needs a bit of tinkering still. Can't do anything about the bad source files.

Working on the Grammy Awards right now. Takes a long time tho. Everything is upscaled to 4K and enhanced via multiple AI mods.

A.I Michael - opinions

Hey guys, on a separate note before talking about this - glad to be a mod here, hoping I can help make this a better place for you. And for me. And the entire hu- okay sorry. But back to the topic, I have spent the last week researching and building an A.I model of Michael jackson singing, and...

Yeah they're near the same level of completion but for most of the songs from the 2000's I'm more interested in hearing their composition than I am in the vocals. After all since most of those songs are unrecorded they're all that they're gonna have to offer anyways lol.

Same here. I'd gladly welcome an album - hell, even an EP - of the most fleshed-out instrumentals of the bunch. Just for a taste of what could have been. On the condition that they go the Xscape route and have the OG versions accessible.

That might be obvious, considering there's little to no vocals, but I wouldn't put it past the Estate to overdub an instrumental to make it more appealing to the new generation of fans.

The unfinished tracks could be the foundation for the biopic score. Making cinematic versions of those melodies if they apply. That'd be interesting. They won't do it though.

I'm still holding out hope that they'll at least play Just Remember as a closing theme during the credits. Seeing how it's one of the last songs MJ recorded it'd be a good song to end the movie.
 
It'd be cool if they did a studio footage/unreleased audio montage at some point in the film. Could use a track such as "Water" to highlight some "final years" vocals. If studio footage is sparse, then could use unseen/unpublished photos, lyrics, track listings, etc. But perhaps at that point, they'd consider themselves too generous to the fans. lol.

The composition shouldn't be too different from most Buxer tracks. ala D.I.G, IAAL, SIM, etc.
