To all of you Madonna fans who can't get enough of her early dance pop years, do not buy this CD. I bought it in hopes of hearing what Madonna sounded like before she became a household name. Unfortunately, this entire CD contains only samples of her voice totalling about 3 minutes of airtime. The songs are basically synthesized experiments by Otto van Werner(sp?). MADONNA DOES NOT SING ON THIS CD. Otto used clips of a few words here and there that Madonna spoke and just looped them over and over again. This CD is false advertising--it is not Madonna's work, but Otto's. Please do not buy this CD. You will only be sorely disappointed.

The songs on here are worse than run-of-the-mill, they're either boring or annoying. The fact that there are multiple versions of nearly all only adds to the repetitiveness of each individual track. Being a fan of Madonna's should keep you from buying this: it's stuff she never intended to be released, especially at this stage in the game!

These aren't even songs for crying out loud! Just a desperate attempt by this guy Otto to make some money using Madonna's name and voice (Which was altered so much in some of the tracks that it doesn't even sound like her.) Save yourself the time and money--don't buy it!!

Length:: 0:35 Mins

Maybe I'm being a little generous by rating this CD 4 stars...but hey...I AM a hardcore Madonna fan, as well as a big fan of 80's electronica and industrial music. Now, I do warn...this is Otto's music. Madonna's voice is sampled throughout, but the sound of early 80's underground electronica is classic...though my favorite song is "We are the Gods." I LOVE that German industrial sound...so if you like this genre of music along with retro sounding electronica, then you'll like the CD. It isn't for everyone though, so I suggest you sample it first.

Unless you just happen to collect -everything- by Madonna, this is absolutely a total waste of money. Otto von Wernher is the actual album artist here, Madonna just happening to sing along and doin' a terrible job at it. This is one good example of how record companies twist things into making the most money out of confusing the customer. This "music" is not like anything else by Madonna and lets hope it will never will be again. This is an absolute no-no. Wouldn't even waste time downloading it, let alone buying it.

This album is good,and i like it. Its just a little bit odd.

I've been a die hard fan of Madonna since the beginning of her career.... but this CD STINKS! Sounds like the songs were mixed in a subway bathroom played on an old Casio keyboard. I'm shocked she would approve the release of this CD. Go to iTunes or Kazaa and listen to a sample first.

This so-called music is really making me feel sick. This man has so terrible voice, oh my God! Well, we must forgive Madonna. She had no money at that time, she had just moved to New York.. Sometimes you do anything for money.
