Madonna, Veronica Electronica
A companion to her 1998 downtempo LP Ray of Light, this collection is a series of fresh, future-forward edits, remixes, and demo tracks meant to expand the vision of the original album.
The Dirty Nil, The Lash
Harrowing and fun in equal measure, the Ontario groups’ fifth record is a deliberate return to their raw punk ’n’ roll roots with a newfound sense of vulnerability lying beneath all the noise.
Nick Drake, The Making of Five Leaves Left
Meant to tell a deeper story behind the songwriter’s 1969 debut, each demo, outtake, and alternate version on this 4-LP set radiates the piecemeal feel of a novice grasping his way through a new endeavor.
