by Edward from USA
| |
|
|
Unless tracks from that recording sessions are released, like All I Live For, she should leave Music Box alone.

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,295)

I find both Mariah Carey and Emotions albums to be a little lower in volume compared to Music Box onwards.

by Bill from the UK

I don't have that version my friend, but that's because it's a lot of snake oil. It won't sound any better than the CD. CD audio (16bit/44.1khz) is better than the top range of human hearing (but a substantial margin), so much like the gold "hi-res" stamp you see, it's marketing with no discernable difference. The fact the K2 CDs play on a regular CD player, which cannot encode any better than the Redbook standard, is testament to that.
The only true difference can be heard on the SACD/HDCD format, which you need to play on special decoders/systems. You will hear nuances in the music and perhaps elements deeper in the mix brought to life a bit more. To my knowledge only #1's and Divas Live has been released on that format from Mariah's catalogue.
Any difference you hear on the K2 version will likely be down to the mastering, and in most cases it's "louder" only. So, put in your regular Music Box CD and turn up the volume dial and you'll have the same outcome.
We are fortunate Mariah recorded her albums in top quality Sony studios (up until Rainbow), the CDs all sound fantastic and are the absolute best they can be.

Music Box vs. My Prayer (103,294)
by Bobby A from United States
| |
|
|
I have always wondered if Music Box started out as as a gospel song but evolved into what we have today. Listening to Music Box, MC makes you think she is talking to God in one verse and in another verse is to talking her lover. The use of the word "thee" makes me think Music Box was a gospel song before MC changed the lyrics to make it more secular with the use of the words "sweet", "tenderly", and "baby". Therefore, I am wondering did My Prayer evolve out of Music Box to become the gospel song MC wanted. I think that it is safe to assume that My Prayer is a gospel song. I hope The Price sisters and Melonie Daniels took it to church.

That's what I thought too, Bill. K2 technology is just a waste of money. I have always thought that from 1990-1997 MC's recordings had the best sound. Sony was a powerhouse back then in every aspect of the music industry. I will save my money for the 8th.

I absolutely agree with you. Remastering anything from the late 80's on has resulted in CD's with louder volumes, that's it. Sometimes the remastering process has even ruined the original feel of the CD. For me, remastering works wonders by removing background static noise from recordings that predate the CD era and by improving those recordings that sounded as if the artists were singing from inside a well, other than that, it's just a way to entice people to buy again.

What do we know about Dolby Atmos technology that was used for mastering the 30th anniversary edition? Also, I just found out Music Box was released on a K2 HD mastering technology CD in 2011. Bill, do you have the K2 CD?

I'm not sure, but presumably through her website and, for an artist if her standing, I'd imagine it would be on Amazon and so on. The trailer does say there is an "expanded digital version" which I am assuming is the 3xCD version. It's next week, so I'm surprised it's not yet available to pre-order anywhere.

September 8th is the day at midnight on MC's website. The expanded digital package will be made immediately available on digital platforms while the physical items will have ship dates assigned to them. Hopefully, the 3 CD set is ready now to be shipped from a warehouse. The 4 LP will be assigned a November or December ship date. I hope the 4 LP vinyl set receives the same packaging as The Rarities.

I am so excited for this news. And wow, a new song from the recording sessions, I can't wait to hear it. And finally, to have the Thanksgiving concert on audio at last. Music Box was my first Mariah album and still to this day remains one of my favourites. It is a beautiful album, thank you Mariah for this gift.

Merry Christmas got two platinum certifications from 2019-2020 bumping it to an impressive 8x platinum. I guess Christmas will reach diamond status first than Mariah Carey which last certification was on December 1999.
It took Daydream 20 years to score another platinum certification.

The 3CD edition is encouraging, as that indicates 1 disc for the album, another for the Thanksgiving audio, and the other for the bonus tracks. I'd imagine it'd include the three tracks from The Rarities, plus the four she's shown on her social media accounts. That leaves plenty of room for other surprises which I am pumped about. Also, the clip on Instagram had footage from the Music Box tour. Could it be, finally, we receive this gem? That is "my prayer".

My Prayer (103,274)
by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia
| |
|
|
Wow I can't believe Mariah has another unreleased song from Music Box, apart from All I Live For. I wonder why she didn't put this in The Rarities. Maybe she's saving this for this 30th Anniversary of Music Box. Or maybe this is the new song that she wrote recently and after she sang in the studio, she uses the AI from her Music Box album to make it sound like the voice from that album. Hehe just kidding. I can't wait to hear My Prayer and I hope she releases it as a single with video and promotions.
