The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Bill on the 2010 mix of DYKWYCA

I'm glad the song held on to be "finished" if that's an appropriate word for MJ's songs.
Last I heard this was only the beginning - at Hayvenhurst.
There were vocals like these but the track was too experimental for my taste.
JB cranked out so much during that time. We couldn't expect brilliance every day.
And so DYKWYCA slipped down the list.

Bill seems to use the descriptor “experimental” for a lot of the Bad era tracks, including, if memory serves me well, Buffalo Bill and possibly Turning Me Off. I certainly wouldn’t call DYKWYCA an experimental piece of music, so perhaps he means strictly in the technological sense?

Maybe a crazy question after 487 pages of this thread but why exactly is it such a mystery what's in the vault? Is it a secret for business purposes? Do they want to be mysterious? Are other estates also this vague about what they have..?

Perhaps they're being devious? ....they might not have everything, or in original quality, but are hoping they can convince others that they do so

Him describing it as too experimental falls in line with Barnes saying Michael recorded at Hayvenhurst to break away from the restrictions of Westlake. Michael probably had ideas he felt Quincy would’ve shut down had he recorded at Westlake. Could’ve also been a way for Michael to keep songs in his possession without outside hands.
 
The original demo for DYKWYCA is very different from the "original version" that the estate released. That's why Bill calls it "experimental." It’s one of John Barnes's songs. If you know "Turnin' Me Off," then you can imagine how weird it sounded at first. I imagine the "original version" is either Brian Vibberts's version from the HIStory era—I should ask him—or maybe even Bruce's mix from Dangerous.

I'd love to hear what he and Michael worked on the most. I think Barnes was pulling the best out of Michael creatively during their time. That 1983-1986 time had to have been pure magic

I actually quite like this. It sounds like it’s still at a stage where they could have possibly taken it in a slightly different direction, like maybe have given it a sense of darkness and mystery, almost like he’s out in the world searching for her but completely lost. This almost has a dark cinematic noire to it. Almost.
