Just watching Britain's got talent when what should appear... Sony's STTR advert!

Then to the amazement of my entire family during the next add break... THE LNFSG XSCAPE COMMERCIAL!

This is during the UKs biggest television show!

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

Well I've been using analogue throughout the 80s, and started using the digital as for the 90s. No more "noise of reduction" buttons on the hi-fi sets (except for the cassettes). If now I listen to the analogue it would be more out of nostalgia.

I admit theres a nostalgia factor, but the quality is there if you have the proper equipment. Vinyl is making a comeback. MP3 can't give you the quality. CD is good, HD Tracks in 24/192k is better, and SuperAudio CD is best.

promotion just keeps on improving, i'm so happy about the promotional tools used for this project. Wonderful time to show commercials etc. hope the album gets to the top 2 in the uk charts.

I have also noticed the physical promotions, etc. were done in non-U.S. regions for lack of a better term. Those areas have posters and even a hologram.

U.S. promotions were television spots (Iheart Radio, pending Billboard awards, GMA, Jeep commercial) and listening party reviews.

I assume U.S. radio is playing LNFSG. I believe R/B/HipHop radio will eventually branch out to Chicago, LY, Xscape. They may even play the original Chicago, Xscape, and BG.

Sony is releasing very soon even a newer technology: digital format on tapes.

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

Anybody know where I can order the digipak in the UK? If amazon is an option, does anybody have a link? Thank you x
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Yeah but this is an MJ album, I am sure I read a quote several years ago about Bad or Dangerous where Quincy or someone said MJ wanted his music to sound good on everything, from the latest top range HiFi down to a Sony walkman, xD

and it sounded good on walkman you even had some wierd eq to play with lol

Digital tapes have existed for ages for backup purposes, less for music purposes. At any case, this doesn't seem to be a new file format (which is a good thing, we have enough of these already).

I highly recommend anyone listening to Thriller on SACD if you have the option (a friend, a hi-fi store in your neighborhood or whatever). It's just so crystal clear that your brain pops out :).

Pbthal did a great rip of Thriller. It craps over all the other versions online.

This is new, you will be able to store more than 40 million songs on one tape.

p.s. No, it's not a new file format. It's still digital technology. However what is interesting is the space available on it.

p.p.s. From wiki:

Super Audio CD (SACD) is a read-only optical disc for audio storage, introduced in 1999. It was developed jointly by Sony andPhilips Electronics, and intended to be the successor to their Compact Disc format. While the SACD format can offer more channels (e.g. surround sound), and a longer playing time than CD, research published in 2007 found no significant difference in audio quality between SACD and standard CD.[SUP][1][/SUP]
Having made little impact in the consumer audio market, by 2007 SACD was deemed to be a failure by the press.[SUP][2][/SUP] A small market for SACD has remained, serving the audiophile community.[SUP][3][/SUP]

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

New Xscape is so powerful. It reminds me of modern version of Jam (one of my favourite MJ songs). The bass is killer!

i completely agree with you, it's definitely the best new mix of a song created for this album.... only slightly beating out Chicago!

When I first heard it, I preferred the original version, but as I'm listening more and more, it's really growing on me....The bass is what kept me going back to re-listen and start to notice all the cool elements in it....I love the bridge in the new version, it was great in the first place but its more prominent now, which is what I wanted...It's great!

Um, you obviously walked into the wrong house.

Here's my humble abode:

Yeah that's my house. Lovely little JB pic, why not!?

Maybe that's a stupid question lmao, the deluxe Xscape poster would be better!

or maybe the bad tour kansas poster from the bad 25 package as well as the xscape poster? both would look stunning above a Michael shrine.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I can def see original STTR in Dangerous album. Or even a Dangerous 25 bonus, had it not been in Xscape.

Thanks Qbee, you're awesome
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Do we have any news regarding CD singles?
 
Sony are to release another official remix of LNFSG by Dutch DJ Fedde Le Grand. Releasing 19th may 2014.

Maybe suggests a physical cd release?

His remix was premiered on bbc radio 1 earlier tonight.

I must say I do not like it, I just don't think it suits the song. But there's plenty of non fans that do like it according to soundcloud.

http://soundcloud.com/feddelegrand/mj-lnfsg-flgrmx

Epic records:
.@feddelegrand remix of @michaeljackson's "Love Never Felt So Good" JUST premiered on @BBCR1 Check it -> soundcloud.com/feddelegrand/m…
8:22pm - 10 May 14

"Revealed and premiered by Danny Howard Saturday May 10th on the world famous BBC Radio 1 comes the one and only remix for Michael Jackson’s ‘Love Never Felt So Good’ – the lead single on his second posthumous album Xscape. Have a listen now!
In an interview last year, Fedde Le Grand described how music “will never have another like Michael Jackson”. His legacy to this day influences millions and his approach to composition has forever been a source of inspiration for the Dutch producer. Inspiration and influence aside however, the chance to add your spin on one of the greatest acts to ever live doesn’t come around too often for any artist. But with a host of the best producers, songwriters and performers around re-mastering and tying together the King of Pop’s archived material, that opportunity came along for Fedde Le Grand who could hardly refuse such an occasion."

I suppose that lots of remixes by DJs will be appearing for the clubs.
