Album Notes Personnel: Madonna (vocals); Paul Pesco, Jerome Dickens (guitar); Danny Wilensky (saxophone); James "Sleepy Keys" Preston (piano); Joe Moskowitz (keyboards, drums, programming); Shep Pettibone (keyboards, sequencing, programming); Tony Shimkin (keyboards, sequencing, programming, drum programming, background vocals); Andre Betts (keyboards, strings, synthesizer, piano, bass, drums); Doug Wimbish (bass); Anton Fig (drums); Sander Selover (programming); Donna Delory, Niki Harris (background vocals). Producers: Madonna, Shep Pettibone, Andre Betts. Recorded at Mastermix and Sound Works, New York, New York. Madonna released EROTICA around the same time she released her SEX book, and that's exactly what it sounds like. The title song has a sensuously static groove over which she commands, "Put your hands all over my body." "Where Life Begins" demands that you do something a whole lot more intimate (and quite unrepeatable here) to her. The CD booklet has a photo of Madonna in bondage. To get across the album's naughty feel, Madonna dispensed with the pop prettiness of LIKE A PRAYER and returned to her hard-core dance club roots. She and co-producer Shep Pettibone, who had made his name as a club DJ and dance remixer, craft some alluring bad-girl grooves (catch the ocean-deep bass on "Waiting") while still managing to keep things catchy. "Deeper And Deeper " is celebratory dance-pop (with a brief Latin break that nods to the music's true roots) and "Rain" stands among Madonna's major ballads. There's a strange heaviness amidst the fun, games and bondage on EROTICA, which "In This Life" goes a long way toward explaining: it's about AIDS and homophobia. At her naughtiest and most R-rated, Madonna still carries a message, and it resonates well beyond the dance floor.

Reviews Review created: 04/02/08 by: Love the song FEVER on this CD. Can't believe I even found a copy of it on ebay. I remember how much I used to listen to this about 10 years ago. Review ID: 10000000006442925 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 11/18/06 by: Più ascolto l'album e più, a mio modesto avviso, mi esprime una quasi svolta trip hop di Madonna. E' un album sensuale, energico, e ricco di musica complessa ed intrigante. Tutti i brani sono decisamente all'altezza dei singoli, più conosciuti (Erotica, Fever)... e l'insieme è piacevolmente sorprendente, sopra le aspettative. Gli eccezionali prezzi in e-bay ovviamente mi hanno indotto ad acquistare questo CD. A me piace moltissimo Madonna, anche se non la acquisto se non di rado. Perchè la musica che ascolto spesso e più col cuore è il trip hop. Ed è anche cogliendo un influenza trip hop che mi sono appassionata ad Erotica. Da consigliare a chi ama le sperimentazioni musicali. Review ID: 10000000002363610 Was this review helpful? Report this review It was in excellent condition. Fast shipping!I loved it! The music is great to work out to. I ride my statioary bike to all the songs. I love her first four songs the best!!!!!!!!!! Modonna Rocks!!! I used to think she was a has-been, but I've changed my mind. Modonna will always be ahead of her time! No matter how high you turn up her music it sounds good! Now, that's good music! Review ID: 10000000001563625 Was this review helpful? Report this review I've wanted this CD for some time but I refused to purchase it again as my friends always seem to take this one from me. I saw this on EBay and thought, what could I loose. So, I purchased it. It was in perfect condition, was sent to me in a short time and the seller was a joy. This is one of three CD's by Madonna that are EXCELLENT and an excellent place to purchase from, EBAY. Thanks EBay! Review ID: 10000000001267975 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 06/14/07 by: starcollector-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Music Pros: "Deeper and Deeper" is great. Cons: This is mind-numbing and TOO FREAKING LONG. (Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and they do not constitute the essence of this review. Lastly and most importantly, this review is not necessarily written by the point of view of a Madonna fan.) Overall Score: 1/5 Best Song: "Deeper and Deeper" Worst Song: "Did You Do It?" Review Body: Thanks to the success Madonna had in 1990 with "Vogue," previously reviewed on I'm Breathless, Madonna... Review ID: 10000000003819573 Review created: 01/18/08 by: vinatieri4 -- a member of Epinions Pros: This Cd saved me from suicide! Bad Girl! Cons: Did you do it! (sucked!) Also she should have used "you thrill me" too. Madonna's Best Album! It shows the other side of real life. The club life, dealing with homosexuality,insecurity, sex, drugs, fame, and being alone and afraid. Review ID: 10000000006849463 Epinions.com ratings are not included in the item's average rating.
