R.E.M. will celebrate the 25th anniversary of 'Monster' with a six-disc collection of demos, live concerts and a '2019 remix'
with a deluxe six-disc reissue that boasts unreleased demos, a 1995 concert recording and a “2019 remix” of the original album.reissue boasts 15 unheard demo recordings as well as producer Scott Litt’s new remix of the album, which scales back the guitar sound to focus on Michael Stipe’s vocals; hear the “2019 remix” version of “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?” below:
“The original 1994 version was dense in guitars and feedback with the vocals mixed within the sonic wall, but on this alternative version the guitars are pulled back and the vocals pushed forward to create a more open sound and showcase often-revealing lyrics,” a statement read. Litt, who produced, was never satisfied with the original mix. “I think as [Litt] listened to it over the years, he began to hear a different way to realize those songs,” Mike Mills said of the new remix.
R.E.M.’s June 3rd, 1995 concert – a 25-song gig recorded in Chicago in the midst of the Monster Tour – will also be included in the set, while a Blu-ray will contain Monster’s music videos, the “Road Movie” concert film, a 5.1 mix of the LP and more.
