Here's some scat on the new Madonna/Orbit collaboratory.
I guess I'll have to at least here it, just to check the man's production.
>From what I've heard, Orbit's personality dominates the album.

>From the Billboard magazine website:
WARNER BROS. EXPECTS MADONNA TO LIGHT UP MARKETS:
15 years since her debut, is Madonna still relevant? The numerous radio and
Internet leaks of "Frozen," thelead single from her forthcoming
Maverick/Warner Bros. album, "Ray Of Light,"
implies audiences think so. The set, slated for worldwide release March 3,
shows the pop chameleon sewing intense words into edgy electronic backdrops
and jagged guitar grooves. More than half of the disc's songs were written
with
William Orbit, a pioneering techno producer. "I've always found something
melancholy about his music," Madonna says of Orbit. "Since I'm attracted to
that sound, and since I tend to write a lot of sad songs, we seemed like a
good
match." Orbit is equally pleased with the set's results, primarily because
Madonna "insisted upon the purity of [his] arrangements, which worked
astonishingly well with her pop songs."
