The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

It's intended to be that way.

It gives it that dreamy seducing feel. Its a very relaxing song. I love it

My initial thought was it sounded like the tape was warped, but you're right, it was confirmed it was supposed to sound that way.

Yeah, had to think about the DVD, where Timbaland and Reid tap on their own shoulders while having an imaginary orgasm. smh


edit:
relevant part between 5 to 8 minutes

You’re absolutely right. Genuinely shocking how some of those demos sounded. Same with the second disc of T40.

It's like the same 10-year old kid responsible for the blurbs & new album cover did also compile and edit the bonus tracks with some freeware audio editor.

It's almost like they (Estate) hate spending anytime on releasing any demos, unless they can modernize them.

 

[Diogo Bras]

The Estate is busy whoring out MJ's likeness to toy makers so that they can make super expensive deluxe figures that the common fan cant afford

How do you know that?

John Barnes had talked about it.

Oh really, the 'warped' intro? Interesting

It isn't warped its just the modulation of the synthesizer being messed with during the intro to give it the dreamy feel

Btw someone edited the tracker and added what I believe is false info on the Streetwalker section, such as removing the trash remix. If someone could fix that, that'd be great

Cory Rooney was very annoyed that a mono version of She Was Lovin' Me was used on the album too. They knew full well the original song sounded like a much better "Michael Jackson" song so they had to cripple it.

I wonder if that's why I've never liked the song at all that way. I still think it just doesn't have a lot of passion or strength behind it, but that is with the 2014 context behind it.

Look, Xscape was just a moment in time. It was the last time there was any hype with an MJ project for the common person, biopic excluded. Waking up to the announcement surprise, seeing pop out performances, hearing an incredibly catchy tune like LNFSG in the peak of summer vacation, cover articles about the album in places like Billboard, hearing new snippets of entirely unheard of songs and getting long anticipated leaks served finally to the general public... Like it was a big stimulus for MJ at that time. Especially after the Michael debacle. Even the one word name convention was properly restored.

Something I've just noticed while listening to Deep in the night; the vocal hiccups troughout the song - Michael did these on some of his known pre-Thriller demos (Who do you know; PYT).

I wonder, if this is an indication of DITN being from early 1980s, too?

It's not false, I simply corrected info I misinterperted back when I added it.

Bill Bottrell's post about replacing drums and perc with trash can brushes was about "Dangerous," not "Streetwalker." I misread.

Speaking about love never felt so good . I remember reading on the forums and the opinion was that it was a terrible choice for a single , let alone the first single to be released from the album.

To the point where fans thought it was a joke and the estate had really lost the plot.

Then a few rumours started that the song had been reworked and it was sounding fantastic and really improved it.

It really was!!
