Remix, studio, compilation or orchestral album?

[edit]
Consensus seems to accept "compilation album" as an accurate descriptor. No apparent objections have been raised against the term "orchestral" to describe the album. "Studio album" seems to lack sufficient support by comparison. --Nouniquenames 01:51, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This album is a compilation album. All songs are re-recorded orchestral versions of previously released singles which were available on their original albums at the initial time of release; except for "Flower" which was recorded especially for this release. This album is also not a live album as the songs were recorded over a few weeks within the studios. Let's go through the ritual... (talk) 09:51, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this a compilation album? It contains new studio recordings. It is not a collection of previously released material or remixes of old material. Similar albums, such as Carly Simon's "Never Been Gone," Sparks' "Plagiarism," Dionne Warwick's "Now, etc., are not considered "compilations" in Wikipedia.Tclpups (talk) 19:05, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. I've changed it studio album, with a citation. Statυs (talk) 19:19, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The Abbey Road Sessions is typical compilation album, does not meet any requirements to be a typical studio album. Official page does not define this album as next, twelfth official studio album. Maybe, a few internet pages writing about studio album, however this is unreliable. If official sources from Kylie Minogue confirm that this is new album: twelfth studio album by Kylie - ok, we can change article. For now we are waiting for confirmation. However, it is unlikely. Whole this album (except for "Flower") is re-recorded orchestral versions of previously released singles, re-recorded versions of previously released singles is remixes according to music-expertise. Also, a few weeks ago, Kylie said in an interview about 12th studio album - is to be released in 2013. Subtropical-man (talk) 20:43, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You can't take what the artist or record labels say as absolute fact. There are multiple sources calling it her 12th studio album. For an example, RCA Records called Christina Aguilera's Bionic her fourth studio album, when it's actually her sixth. They are now calling Lotus her sixth, when it's her seventh. Statυs (talk) 21:10, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Some internet pages can write about 55th album, it does not matter. Exist sources writing about the flat earth. There is no reasonable evidence that this 12th studio album by Kylie. All indications are that typical compilation album. Subtropical-man (talk) 21:20, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Her record label could say that also. It does not matter. I'm unsure why you reverted my good faith revert, asking to discuss on the talk page first, with no reason inputed. If anything, it's a remix album and not a compilation album. Statυs (talk) 21:24, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Your today's edition [1] was made without consensus. Earlier, another user wrote about compilation album. Your editing is lawless. If someone tries to enter the highly controversial changes without consensus - it is necessary to withdraw this edition. So, your editing has been withdrawn. First discussion and consensus, then we can make changes. Subtropical-man (talk) 21:34, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I changed it after a comment from another user, so far it appears two users agree that it is a studio album and one does not. I didn't come to the conclusion myself, and added a THIRD-PARTY (which is what we actually use on Wikipedia) to prove such a statement. You are still required to leave a message, not just revert free willy. That's how you start wars, my friend. Statυs (talk) 21:41, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You too soon made ​​a changes. Previously (6 September), user wrote about compilation album. Today, user as red link and with only 300 editions disagreed with this. And also today, you support of this user and immediately you made changes. But... relax, now we have plenty of time for discussion and compromise, my friend. Subtropical-man (talk) 21:59, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What relevance does it have if their userpage is a red link and they only have 300 edits? Does that make their opinion any less important? Statυs (talk) 22:08, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Both are equal. But you too fast made ​​a changes. Also, although the opinions were different, you make a change in article. Please, stop pulling this matter, let's focus on the topic. Subtropical-man (talk) 22:19, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa up there chaps. Why the argument? It's neither remix nor compilation album. As far as the record company is concerned it is "product" - any other name they give it is related to "marketing"

  • Remix. This is when the original recordings are played around with - sometimes with more electronic gizmos, sometimes less, some tracks (instruments) are removed, sometimes additional recorded tracks are added. In this instance whole new recordings were made so it can't be a remix. Anyway the artist provided new vocals.
  • Compilation. This is generally when existing recordings are repackaged (sometimes with additional unreleased track(s) for selling reasons), so it can't be a compilation because, again, these are new recordings.
  • These are new recordings. It has happened before, where an artist has re-recorded songs in a studio, it will happen again, but there is no point forcing them into pigeon-holes - that serves no purpose whatsoever. Cheers. Richhoncho (talk) 11:59, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
First: please read Remix article. This album meets the requirements of being a remix. You wrote "sometimes with more electronic gizmos, sometimes less", sometimes something else... ble ble ble BUT this is just your private opinion. In the light of the science of music, this album is a remix. Second: these are new recordings? Ok, but these are not new songs, this re-recorded orchestral versions of previously released singles which were available on their original albums. Subtropical-man (talk) 15:10, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I did read the Remix article. That is unreferenced opinion. The clue is in the word, "RE-MIX." The dictionary at MW is much more accurate here--Richhoncho (talk) 15:41, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
So Richhoncho, what would be your suggestion of how to label it? As neither studio album, remix or compilation? We could use the other field and just say orchestral album? Statυs (talk) 18:49, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
But no, that wouldn't be a correct term at all. Statυs (talk) 18:50, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I am more than happy with "studio album" - the album title and references pretty much confirms that there were "studio recording sessions." --Richhoncho (talk) 19:45, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
...but it's not album with new songs but just orchestral remix album (re-recorded orchestral versions of previously released singles) and also 12th studio album by Kylie is planned for 2013 (Aphrodite - previous album is 11th studio album). So, this album is not official studio album by Kylie. The Abbey Road Sessions is "swamped hole" between 11th studio album and 12th studio album in 2013. Subtropical-man (talk) 19:53, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
A studio album doesn't have to be made-up of all new material. I agree that studio album is the best way to put again. Again, it doesn't matter what a label or an artist says of an album. Bionic is Christina Aguilera's fourth studio album according to RCA (they do not include her Spanish and Christmas album as studio albums, when they are indeed.) Statυs (talk) 19:59, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Two issues here, first "which number studio album?" that's easy - just quote the references and if the references disagree that's fine. WP is based on verifiability not fact. Secondly, Subtropical-man says "re-recorded orchestral versions of previously released singles." That's right, they are re-recorded. Now we all agree can we do something useful? Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 20:12, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This is the source I found calling it her "12th album". The website is owned by the Gannett Company, so it's reliable. Subtropical-man removed the source from the article. Statυs (talk) 20:16, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"it doesn't matter what a label or an artist says of an album" - what? Nonsense. If an artist says that Aphrodite is 11th studio album and 12th studio album will be presented in 2013 this means that The Abbey Road Sessions is not official studio album but album of another type (i.e. remix album, compilation album). The exact number of officials studio album is important. Similarly, the same goes for movies of Bond, officialy exist exact 23 films of Bond, although there are some other (for example: Never Say Never Again). The exact number of officials studio album or movies etc is very important. At present, exist 23 official Bond movies and 11 official studio albums of Kylie. PS. Regarding your source - they are not reliable, it's just a news post without verification. Subtropical-man (talk) 20:20, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also, exist many sources for 12th studio album in 2013 (see google). Ideally it is explained: "Popstar Minogue confirms new material for 2013, greatest hits for 2012. Kylie Minogue has today revealed that she will release her 12th studio album in 2013". But this little thing. Subtropical-man (talk) 20:30, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I don't think you have understood what I said, if Status can reliably reference somebody saying it's number x album, then no harm in putting it in, if on the other hand you can find and quote something equally reliable that disagrees with that then you can also put that in the article. I repeat, it is verifiability and not fact we are working with here... --Richhoncho (talk) 20:34, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Besides the point, it doesn't even have to be called her "12th studio album". No ordering is really needed; it's really a fad for articles, really. The Abbey Road Sessions is a studio album by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue. Statυs (talk) 20:38, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Some of us support of status of studio album, other of us support of status of remix album, for other other of us support of status of complilation album. A stalemate. Subtropical-man (talk) 20:42, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No stalemate here. One person said compilation, one said remix, three say studio album. Statυs (talk) 20:45, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Generally, this album can be both - remix and/or compilation for me (possibly support a status of remix, if necessary). So rather two person said compilation and three say studio album. This does not change the fact that a consensus is far and also we must wait for the opinions of other users, we are not alone on Wikipedia. Subtropical-man (talk) 20:54, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Instead of having a bigger talkpage than the divine Ms M herself, why don't you find some reliable references that actually call this a re-mix album? Or a compilation album? If you can you have won your argument, if you can't then it is time to accept you are wrong... --Richhoncho (talk) 20:59, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't found a single source (myself) calling it a remix album. Most sources just call it a "new album", "new project" or "album with re-worked versions of her previous hits". Statυs (talk) 21:04, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Kylie is celebrating 25 years as a singer and has released her 12th album in celebration – The Abbey Road Sessions. Statυs (talk) 21:05, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There is no 100% reliable sources, usually this sources is music news for any type of this album. On the Internet, there is plenty sources for both options. Any such sources can be found to be unreliable (for both options). Also your sources and my sources, for example with text "sixteen track from across Kylie Minogue’s career, new compilation album ‘The Abbey Road Sessions’ re-works some of the singer’s best...". There are many online sources, we must have a lot of time to get them cataloged. Sorry, promises to be a longer discussion and we must wait for the opinions of other users, we are not alone on Wikipedia. Subtropical-man (talk) 21:12, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And a certain point, we will have to just do the duck test. Unless you can come up with a reference to it being a remix album, we can weed that out of the running. It will then be studio album by compilation album. I think it's time for a vote. Statυs (talk) 21:16, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Additionally, what makes the source you just provided reliable? It's a random self-run blog, not a big media publication. Statυs (talk) 21:17, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Our sources prove that there are another status and terminology, some sources write about studio album, others about compilation or remix album and some sources write about the 12th album in 2012 (The Abbey Road Sessions), others about new album in 2013. The situation is a stalemate. Furthermore, our opinions are known, we must wait for the opinions of other users, we are not alone on Wikipedia. Subtropical-man (talk) 21:23, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't a solution. I was querying why you intimated an album can be studio or compilation, but not both - which is illogical. Can I take it that you, Subtropical-man, now accept it is not a remix album? --Richhoncho (talk) 22:01, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I accept both: a remix and compilation album. However, I am looking for a compromise. Subtropical-man (talk) 22:05, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
So, you can't find references to support your views, yet you are prepared to argue them. That's not the way Wikipedia works. You are the only person who mistakenly thought it was a remix album. So that option has gone. It's no more a compilation album than any other album is a compilation of recordings Think about it!). I note that your post to User talk:Everything Is Beautiful remains unanswered. The expression is "find the reputable references or shut up!!!" --Richhoncho (talk) 22:24, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm. [2][3][4]. Other users been invited, our opinions are already known, let others users express their opinions. Subtropical-man (talk) 22:39, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello all! It is neither a studio album nor a compilation album. It is a remix album. You're welcome.I helpdןǝɥ I 21:35, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To strengthen my point, please see Remixed & Revisited. I helpdןǝɥ I 21:37, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Remixed and revisited article say "The album contains four songs, in remixed form,..." I assume that is referenced, accordingly if you or anybody else can find references that say this album is a remixed album, then who am I to argue? --Richhoncho (talk) 23:58, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Remixed & Revisited is not similar to this release at all. Statυs (talk) 14:57, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
User:Statυs made ​​an edit despite the still ongoing discussion. He should not have done but this is a certain compromise as neutral version. This version ("orchestral album") could remain until a new compromise, if this will be. Nevertheless, I suggest to leave just the current version - "orchestral album". This album is special case, mainly this some type of remix, it also has elements of the compilation and studio album. Term of orchestral album is neutral. I'm all for leaving one of the current compromise - orchestral album. I see no chance for a better compromise. Subtropical-man (talk) 16:07, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: As an entirely and utterly disinterested party, I can't see what the problem is here. This album is compilation album, it's a collection of previous works by the artist. Not one of the sources listed below calls it a "studio album." Several call it a "collection," which basically means the same thing as "compilation."A lot of compilation albums feature re-recorded versions, it really isn't anything that unusual. The only unusual thing is how drastic the re-recordings are. As for whether it is a remix album, I don't know. It technically could be considered one, as remixes can be drastic and even include parts of other songs, but none of the sources describe it as such. I would say that "orchestral album" works fine as a classification, but so does "compilation album."--¿3family6 contribs 16:08, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Response to 3family6. Thanks for that, a true Wikipedian with the light. If it is referenced as a compilation album I would happily accept that. I would accept any other referenced description. Let's add the references to the article and settle the discussion. Whether I agree is another matter and not relevant. Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 16:51, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Completely agree with 3family6, I think the album is a compilation (collection) of her previous released-songs. Here are some sources calling it compilation:

Regarding remix album, it is actually just a specific classification of compilation album, so is greatest hits album. Remix album also compiles previously released songs, but in drastic reworked version, and some people often call it 'remix compilation'. That's why their infobox share the same dark green color. Regards. Bluesatellite (talk) 04:02, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Due to the overwhelming citations and the fact that a remix album is a version of a compilation album. I will happily consider this album as one. I helpdןǝɥ I
Me too :) Subtropical-man (talk) 16:18, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I would have thought an album recorded in a studio, regardless of the songs performed for it, would be a studio album. This also implies that live albums (Hot August Night) and albums of covers (Songs (Luther Vandross album)) are also compilation albums. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 01:45, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not all albums recorded in studio are studio albums. Just Be Free is studio recording of completely new materials, but it's not a studio album, it's a demo album. All film's soundtracks are also recorded in studio and considered soundtrack album, not studio album. All live recordings are usually considered live album, regardless of the songs included. Songs (Luther Vandross album) is indeed a studio album, because it contains all previously unreleased materials (the songs were previously released by other artists, for Luther Vandross they were still new materials). Bluesatellite (talk) 13:30, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I vote in favour of it being a compilation album. The album is made up of reworked previously released songs. It is a compilation, not a new studio album. Let's go through the ritual... (talk) 09:45, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
