The Madonna album is fun, I can remember when Stuart Price was playing Tasmania and a Virgin rep here was like, Who does he think he is, Madonna?, when he blew out interviews.... then came Darkdancer... he preempted the nu 80s electro. Good luck to him, I enjoy his production, things like that Starsailor remix are fun. He gave Princess Supastar a killer track on her My Machine album... It's very disco-pop the new Madonna.
