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  good cd The cd was in great condition, no problem. The bad part of this is that the description was WRONG it said to be the UNEDITED edition with an extra song and it turned out to be the regular cd edited. I didn't mind a second copy of the cd since my own was getting some scratches. Besides that the item was near mint condition. Thanks! Review ID: 10000000007420259 Was this review helpful? Report this review  OONE OF M'S best albums everReview created: 07/06/07 by: 0 of 1 people found this review helpful. This album is one of my favorites. Madonna takes us on a ride through sex, love, being a bad girl, to losing a friend to aids, to where life begins. She also slams Sean Penn's wife in thief of hearts. You must buy and listen to this album. Review ID: 10000000003944446 Was this review helpful? Report this review Ya gotta love Madonna!Review created: 07/03/07 by: Terrific CD! Madonna rocks!

Report this review The Title "Erotica" - Madonna (CD 1992)I bought this CD because I like Madonna & her sexy style of music. The only song i wanted to hear was "Rain" which is still just as good as the first time I heard it. The other music is more hip-hop, funk & fun music. I really couldn't get into the other music and like I said I only bought it for one track. "Rain" is one of my favorites as it has feeling close to my heart. Though a great cd, "Like a Virgin" her first would be my most favorite album because she was so hot when she first came out. Oh, yes, the price was right!

Report this review  Doesn't stand the test of timeI wouldn’t classify myself as a huge Madonna fan, but I’ve always thought she had a great voice and I could always count on her to not to release the same style of music year after year. For me Erotica kind of fell through the cracks and listening to her catalog I noticed that I was missing this release so I decided to purchase it to complete my collection. The first time a listened to this CD my first impression was overall the CD was a bit long winded. What I mean by this is with only one exception all the songs are over 5 minutes in length. In many cases a song needs to be this long and unfortunately in the case of Erotica most of the songs could easily trim a minute from each track. Since I use iTunes and its rating (1-5 stars) these are my ratings; 1-star (1 song), 2-stars (6 songs), 3-stars (7 songs). I would say this is not one of my favorite Madonna CD, in fact it is one of the weakest in my opinion. Of the songs I do like would be “Thief of Hearts” which is a nice little dance song but lacks depth and is missing that spark that would make it an excellent song. Perhaps this has more to do with the production of the CD in general. The bass seems to be put too much in the background and thus the CD lacks that punch. With “Where Life Begins” I had to chuckle the first time I heard it, but must admit the subtle (or sometimes not so) way the sexual nature of the lyrics are very well done. “Bye Bye Baby” is my favorite song from the album (maybe because it’s under 4 minutes) but also because it stands out from the other songs which along with its nice tempo makes it my pick.
