Amazon.co.uk Review
The new millennium saw a change in Madonna as, ever at the forefront of popular music trends, she took the earth mother vibes of Ray Of Light and transposed them to the heart of the dancefloor. The end product, Music, is a wondrous mixture of the familiar and the audaciously new--tracks like "Amazing" and "Runaway Lover" would have slotted nicely into the more uptempo sections of Ray Of Light, whereas tracks like "Impressive Instant" and the title track "Music" take Madonna closer to the sound of the dancefloor underground. William Orbit, the man responsible for producing the Ray Of Light album, has a hand in proceedings again, but the majority of tracks are produced by French whizzkid Mirwais, who brings a distinctive Gallic House feel to the proceedings, taking Madonna's voice and putting it through a vocoder until it sounds more like an instrument rather than a vocal line. Whereas Ray Of Light was her album of the joys of motherhood, Music is clearly the sound of a woman in love, for hard evidence look no further than the ballad "I Deserve It", with its opening line "This guy was meant for me", clearly dedicated to the father of her second child, Guy Ritchie. With a well-balanced mix of downtempo and uptempo numbers, all stamped with her innovative style, Music is further proof that Madonna is still way ahead of the pack. --Helen Marquis

OVERALL GRADE: 10/10
With "Ray of Light" you got Madonna as an ambient artist, with "Music" you get an French Electronica Madonna, working with Mirwais Amhadzai.

One of Madge's best.......
For me, this is one of Madonnas best all round albums, and yes, its better than Ray of Light. This has a very distinct sound and identity, and there is not a bad track to be had. The tracks have excellent range, from thumping dance, to ballad, to beautiful lyrics. For me, the only bad track is American Pie, which for my money is a poor version, being slowed down, and 're-imagined'.
That said,this should sit proudly in anyones collection. A great album from a great artist at the top of her game. GET IT!!
