Record Collector on American Life unreleased tracks
From the UK magazine: Record Collector.
“As it seems the highly anticipated ‘American Life‘ album turned out to be a bit disappointing for some of us, a true Madonna fan would love to hear about the missing tracks from it. Confirmed by ‘Maverick‘, unreleased track titles includes: “Mind Trapper”, “Bad Nature”, “Ejector(or My Ejector)”,” Adverse Youth” and much more.
Apparently more than 7(!) songs never made it and it seems like no one knows why.
Also the track “Hollywood” is an early track Madonna wrote and was never pleased with the work till its final version in her current album. The song “Nothing Fails” from the last album has a couple versions as well as the tired, acoustic “X-Static Process“. When we questioned Madonna’s spokesmen all they could say is that the album could have been more dance then acoustic and those unpublished tracks were ditched for a reason. Yet the balladic “Adverse Youth” track is not even close to dance when “My Ejector” reminds “American Life”.The real reason will probably never be known but there’s a Madonna box set coming up and more singles to come so all of you addicted out there can calm down. Even if the tracks won’t be on a B-side nor on the box set they will eventually get online somehow & all fans will be pleased.”
