Music reviews of Deeper & Deeper EP

Music Review: Hardcore Madonna fans only
Rating: 3 Stars

1) Deeper And Deeper (Shep's Deep Makeover Mix) - 9:09 - A typical remix for Mr. Pettibone. A slightly more uptempo beat to go along with Madonna's depenadable vocals. This mix is nothing to get too excited over, although all-in-all it is a good mix.

2) Deeper And Deeper (David's Klub Mix) - 7:40 - A heavy piano introduces us to this mix with a nice thumpin' bassline following closely behind before we drop the beats and into the chorus, which brings us into the first verse with that great beat brought back. David Morales shows us how he became one of clublands legendary mixers, with this subtle but effective remix.

3) Deeper And Deeper (Shep's Classic 12" Mix) - 7:27 - This mix by Shep doesn't stray much from the original, because quite frankly, that's what this is. So if you do enjoy the original mix of this song, here's a longer version for you to enjoy.

4) Deeper And Deeper (Shep's Fierce Deeper Dub) - 6:01 - This is an alright dub, with some cool vocal snippets paired along with a very understated bassline. Quite vocal for a dub, but it does work pretty well. Nothing to rant and rave over though. And it does get tiresome after a while.

5) Deeper And Deeper (David's Love Dub) - 5:39 - Much better than Shep's dub, but not as good as David's Klub Mix. Again, mostly consisting of vocal snippets and some deep basslines. Less vocally inclined than Shep's dub, which is essentially what a dub should be. Again, not the best, but not horrid either.

6) Deeper And Deeper (Shep's Deep Beats) - 2:58 - Almost 3 minutes of beats. The name pretty much says it all. Although the beats that are used here, are quite funky and would've worked well as a dub. Uses some really fun vocal snippets including a little something from "Vogue"! Kind of a shame that these beats were wasted.

7) Bad Girl (Extended Mix) - 6:27 - If you like the original version of this track, you should enjoy this mix as well. Just an extended mix of the original. This one is mainly just a showcase for Madonna's vocals.

8) Erotica (Kenlou B-Boy Instrumental) - 5:48 - Funky, Heavy and sexy R&B grooves here, brought to you by the Masters At Work! This is a surprising remix, considering that MAW are house legends, but this works so well! Scout out the "Erotica" single for the "Kenlou B-Boy Mix" to hear this remix in it's full glory. This track is prime for sampling.

9) Erotica (Underground Tribal Beats) - 3:31 - Boring house beats that is basically just three and a half minutes of filler. Again, get the "Erotica" maxi for the "Underground Club Mix" to hear a much better version of this mix.

10) Erotica (WO Dub) - 4:58 - The WO in this mix stands for William Orbit, who I believe collaborates with Madonna for the first time with this single. His 12" remix on (yet again) the "Erotica" single is DEFINATLEY not to be missed. And this dub is quite good as well. Sexy and dark, with some awesome trance elements mixed in with some sleek R&B funk. An awesome dub here, but even cooler is the WO 12" Mix - if you don't already have it - GET IT!

11) Erotica (House Instrumental) - 4:55 - 1993 house music. Very light, plodding and methodical, but at the same time, there is something deeply infectious about it. This one has got those standard basslines and pianos, some cool vocal snippets, but it's highly dated, which is unfortuante.

12) Erotica (Bass Hit Dub) - 4:49 - To the first time listener, this mix sounds pretty much identical to track #11. Heck, to a seasoned listener it's pretty hard to tell the difference between the two. This mix does have a few more vocal snippets that track 11, but if you've heard one, you've heard 'em both.

So the basic rundown on this disc. If you are a hardcore Madonna fan, snatch this one up and add it to your collection, just to have the extra dubs and instrumentals that aren't available on the domestic singles. But if you are not a hardcore Madonna fan and are just getting into the remix thing, skip this disc and pick up the singles for "Erotica" & "Deeper And Deeper".
