...only for electronica/industrial fans...

Maybe I'm being a little generous by rating this CD 4 stars...but hey...I AM a hardcore Madonna fan, as well as a big fan of 80's electronica and industrial music. Now, I do warn...this is Otto's music. Madonna's voice is sampled throughout, but the sound of early 80's underground electronica is classic...though my favorite song is "We are the Gods." I LOVE that German industrial sound...so if you like this genre of music along with retro sounding electronica, then you'll like the CD. It isn't for everyone though, so I suggest you sample it first.

Music to give you a migraine

EARLY YEARS is not a Madonna album. It is an album by Otto von Wernherr. He is someone who hired Madonna to do backup for him, and this was long before Madonna was famous. After she became famous, Wernherr released this album and credits it as a "Madonna" album, when the fact is that she only sings a few words on each song . . . and they are terrible, just dreadful songs. I don't know what era these songs would sound appropriate in, probably no era.

Even if you are a huge Madonna fan, you probably will not want to get EARLY YEARS.

Worst CD ever!

These aren't even songs for crying out loud! Just a desperate attempt by this guy Otto to make some money using Madonna's name and voice (Which was altered so much in some of the tracks that it doesn't even sound like her.) Save yourself the time and money--don't buy it!!
