I've heard it, though only on the local "urban alternative" radio show
('Metropolis' on L.A.'s KCRW). It's okay, but it seems to drag, and
productionwise, it doesn't really do Massive Attack justice. I know a lot
of people may get mad if I say this, but for a cover of this particular
song, Robert Palmer's 1991 version is somewhat better.
Still, I can only wonder how this song is passed off in the American Top
40 market - will it just be known as a "Madonna" song, or "Madonna with
Massive Attack"? I probably sense the former. If it happened to be the
latter, it would be great; MA would probably get their first "big break"
in the US this way.
Speaking of Massive Attack, I *have* heard a dance mix of Everything But
The Girl's "I Miss You" (with recent MA collaborator Tracey Thorn) getting
airplay on a local Top 40 station. Does anyone know who's responsible
for this remix? It sounds a bit too fast and the arrangement is a bit
too dense for Massive Attack's production style.
